ILLUMINATING VINTAGE VOGUE!

1960's blue and white sleeveless shift dress
p.s. – Courreges Knit Sailor Dress – $750 (1960’s blue and white sleeveless shift dress)(above)

Hmmm…a little 1950’s and 60’s vintage flair in fashion and lighting. Loving these dresses and loving these lamps. Shedding a little light on fashion and style from the past that might influence a little home decorating in the present.

Could imagine wearing the striped knit dress this summer in the Hamptons when visiting friend AM or Nantucket with FF (I of course am presuming that I will be invited…hint hint…). The maxi dress is perfect for a spring cocktail party with some fab gold bangles and some strappy metallic shoes and simple diamond earrings. Finally, the little suit is so coquette…I could wear that to a serious business meeting…the dress underneath is sleeveless…I like the look because it is versatile…either lady who lunches at the country club style or feminine business. Love all.

The lamps are pretty cool too. Take a look…

Two vintage table lamps have hand thrown pottery bodies, blue and black glazed horizontal stripes on a white ground and black shades
Assemblage – Pair Blue, Black & White Striped Glaze Pottery Lamps -$1750 (USA. Circa 1960. Table lamps have hand thrown pottery bodies, blue and black glazed horizontal stripes on a white ground. Shades not included)(above)

Tan vintage Rudi Gernreich maxi dress with white polka dots
Regeneration – 1960’s Rudi Gernreich Maxi Dress – $1295(1960s full length dress. tan white polka dots)(above)

Vintage lamp with a gourd shaped ceramic vessel base, pale gold metallic glaze over cream ground with an irregular pattern of drips and dots. Original bronze base tops newly added acrylic
Belvedere – Metallic Drip Lamp – $1400 (USA. c.1950’s. Gourd shaped ceramic vessel base. Hand applied pale gold metallic glaze over cream ground. Irregular pattern of drips and dots. Original bronze base tops newly added acrylic)(above)

Vintage woman's two piece suit from 1960 with double breasted short jacket in navy
Vintage Fashion – Norman Norell 1960s Dress Suit – $1400 (Two piece dress suit with double breasted short jacket. Navy blue)(above)

Two hand thrown and hand brushed studio crafted ceramic lamps in cobalt blue with black shades
Pamela Lerner – Pair of Bristol Potter’s Studio Lamps – $1800 (England. 1960s. Hand thrown and hand brushed studio crafted ceramic lamps in cobalt blue)(above)

My faves are the maxi dress and the metallic lamp. Love these. Anything you fancy in this mix of vintage vogue?

Happy Thursday!

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
