Goo Goo for GAGA

Barney's does it again, this time BIGGER.  They always do a wonderful job with their Christmas windows; so clever and fantastical ~ then, they tie in a cross promotion throughout the store.  This year's theme is Lady Gaga, a Holiday Workshop, their holiday fantasy on steroids.


Under the direction of Gaga's creative director Nicola Formichetti and Assume Vivid Astro Focus (an internationally recognized multi media company), Santa's workshop GAGA's way, was born.  They tied in sets, displays, art work, and packaging.  It's all GAGA!  I love the crazy, colorful graphics that lead you through the maze of marketing mania.


They started with the 12 days of GAGA, each day introducing a new Gaga related item.

The whole 5th floor is devoted to GAGA merchandise.  Fire press-on nails, check; studded fingerless gloves, check; lace covered glasses, check.  25% of the proceeds will go to her charity, Born this Way
Foundation which promotes youth empowerment and equality.

Cookies and candy and crystals, Oh my!

Nothing says Christmas like a chocolate skull

I heard that the Boudoir window was made entirely out of hair.

Entertaining a la Parisienne and a few tips to do it right

Good morning my lovely visitors.  It's a cloudy Monday morning; Not a news anymore, and the only thing I would love to do is to stay inside, grab a cup of hot coco and enjoy a long and warm meal with family and friends.  But, it's the beginning of a new week and as I said before, a very busy one.  By Wednesday, I hope, I can start posting the updates of our master bathroom remodeling.  It's going to be a fun week.  For now I'll share these beautiful images of a Chic-Parisian table setting designed by the  cookbook author Dorie Greenspan "Around my French Table".  In this article at More magazine Dorie shares a few rules to consider when entertaining a la Parisienne; such as, "forks face down, tines against the tabletop, and serve the water at room temperature (anything colder is too shocking)" Check out the article for really good looking recipes.  Below, is how I would decorate a Parisienne table setting.  Enjoy!
