Looking Forward to...

Summer is in full swing here on the Island!  July 4th was gorgeous weather and full of family fun. Now,  I'm looking forward to The Hampton Designer Showhouse, which opens July 26th.  Traditional Home always puts on a fabulous showhouse that benefits the Southampton Hospital this year and is always good to get the design juices flowing.  This year I'm really looking forward to the space designed by the gentleman from Madcap Cottage.  I follow these two and their fun lives and can't wait to see what they have in store for us here in the Hamptons. John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon of Madcap have a design studio in Highpoint, NC (which they call their 'design laboratory') and their mantra is "We live and breathe ‘whimsy,’ but our projects are sophisticated and perfectly catered to our clients’ sensibility and ‘brand.’ They are also spectacularly livable.” Ok, who wouldn't love to work with these guys?! Cant wait! Now, whether or not to attend the Gala Preview Party? Hmmm...always a hot, humid evening, but fun to meet and mingle.  Enjoy!
Tickets at the door or in advance:

Summer Breeze Makes Me Feel

Mr. American Classic has done it again.  Ralph Lauren and his team never dissapoint, whether in fashion or home design.  Their newest Spring 2012 home collection, Rosecliff Collection, is a beautiful homage to all that is a "turn-of-the-century seaside manor."  Inspired by the Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, RI and many more, I'm sure; it evokes all that makes the perfect summer retreat.  Rosecliff is the Stanford White mansion modeled after the Grand Trianon, the garden retreat of French kings at Versailles and completed in 1902.  It was the setting for many of Newport's most lavish parties and has been used in several films, including The  Great Gatsby, True Lies, Amistad, and 27 Dresses. If I had a seaside retreat, it would surely include Ralph Lauren's Rosecliff Collection.  Enjoy!
