The long weekend seems so long ago! Been thinking a lot about the beach these days.

Coincidentally, on Tuesday, I got a nice email from the nice people over at Jonathan Adler (my design crush)…they (Starret his publicist) was announcing his new tote collection.

Fabric totes always remind me of the beach.

A good preppy cute tote – the perfect finishing touch for designing any beach day look. Hence today’s CHEAP TO CHIC!

    $238.00 (on sale) is absurd for a canvas beach tote. Ridiculous. Really.

    I LOVE the Oscar de la Renta tote! I am very taken with that fabric, with the imperfect hand printed look of it. Nave and white is such a cool refreshing combination, too. I would carry it everywhere! I would, however make my own, from canvas I would print myself and stitch up on my beloved sewing machine. Ouch to the price tag.

Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨

Natural light is the one thing every room has in c Natural light is the one thing every room has in common here, but the window shape, wall material, and time of day make each one feel like an entirely different experience. ☀️
It’s a reminder that light isn’t just a condition in a room. It’s a design decision.
→ Save this if you’re thinking about how light works in your own space.

I visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy LaI visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy Langseth @keuramylangseth at her chic Paris studio in the Marais and left completely obsessed! Every bag she makes is intentional, considered, and honestly unliIke anything I’ve seen. The kind of craftsmanship you don’t stumble upon easily.
She’s still under the radar. For now. 😌
