THIS INSTALMENT OF At Home With features Westerly, Tory Burch's massive 1929 Georgian summer home in Southampton. Burch purchased the 15,000 square foot home in 2008, at the time of the financial crisis, when no one was buying much of anything. It has always been one of the largest homes in Southampton, and the fashion designer has spent the past nine or so years decorating it with interior designer and architect Daniel Romualdez. The seven acres of gardens were designed by landscape architect Perry Guillot.

And having a well-stocked and beautiful bar cart elevates things even more, making late nights at work a little more posh, and perhaps even enjoyable.
It is the height of summer and we’re feeling a little wistful about Ibiza, the island whose turquoise waters, rugged coves and secluded white beaches gets under your skin. And so, this installment of The Edit features a little bohemian chic by way of wicker mirrors and ceramic vases, ikat throw cushions and a book on the subject — and because we can never resist a little glamour, shimmery body oil, diamonds and feathery pink shoes …
Everyone seems to be talking about the Los Angeles-based interior design / architecture firm of Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, lately, the husband and wife team who run Atelier AM and have been around for fourteen years.
