WHEN IT COMES TO décor, I would describe myself as a Romantic Traditionalist, perhaps even an Haute Bohemian, and a definite Maximalist. Anything modern or industrial rarely strikes my fancy, and that's why it's rather strange that I am so drawn to industrial inspired powder rooms lately. The look involves large exposed pipes and stands beneath sinks, (something I've never been fond of, as vanities provide so much more storage), and yet, when the exposed plumbing is made of golden brass, there is a sudden romance to it. The look only works, of course, when paired with the very traditional (and rather glamorous) elements of marble (preferably heavily veined) and more golden accents, such as mirrors and light fixtures, as well as brass faucets and taps. White is the preferred backdrop, in either paint or tile, although some have been known to use wallpaper or even more marble to great effect. Scroll through for a glimpse ...
The New York City and Seoul-based producer Kathy Yaeji Lee makes house music and pop tunes, but her vocal delivery often sounds like rap. In past songs, like “Guap” or “Last Breath,” with hard 808s, she flashed a unique flow that showed precision in both English and Korean. For her new track, “Drink I’m Sippin On,” Yaeji embraces her inclination toward the style and trades in her usual four-on-the-floor for a trap beat.
FINALLY HAD THE chance to watch The Royal Tenenbaums (2001, Wes Anderson) this past weekend (yes, P is constantly astounded as well by the sheer number of films I haven’t seen) and we also made a little time on Sunday for lounging about in the park, perhaps for the last time this year, as it has been very much summer-like still, despite autumn’s official arrival.
Happened across Jenny Wolf's apartment in Vogue by way of Instagram and in just the three slide images she posted, immediately needed to see the rest of the space. The former Ralph Lauren employee turned interior designer found the Cobble Hill townhouse, which was built in the 1800s, in good condition, but embarked on a full-scale renovation nonetheless to modernise the space. The pink tufted sofa is clearly the showpiece in the living room, bringing colour and whimsy to a black and white palette. Other charming features include a master bedroom with a wallpapered ceiling, and a palette of pink of black for daughter Lili's room. Scroll through for a glimpse of this ultra-chic space ...
