Like the rest of the universe, I am completely smitten with Academy Award winner (!) Lupita Nyong’o. Aside from her undeniable talent and outstanding performance as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, Lupita’s beauty, style and grace along with her Cinderella story has captured our hearts so it’s no surprise that all eyes were on her at the Oscars. The entire world was rooting for her to win the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. It’s also a fact that Lupita has been killing it on the red carpet this awards season so the world was also waiting …
Are you as obsessed with ABC’s Scandal as I am? I have been waiting with bated breath for the new episode which airs tonight and am giddy with excitement! I watched all of the sneak previews and am dying to know what’s happening with Mama Pope, can’t wait to see the drama ensue between Mellie and Olivia, hear what bombshell Sally Langston is going to drop and, of course, see the Olivia/Fitz love story continue to unfold. This is seriously the best show on television. If you don’t watch Scandal, you won’t understand and you are seriously missing out on …

Last week the online design world was abuzz over photos of Lee Radziwill’s Paris apartment that were recently featured in T Magazine. As the younger sister of Jackie Kennedy, a royal princess, prominent socialite, style icon and friend to luminaries like Truman Capote and Andy Warhol, Radziwill, 79, is a truly fascinating figure. Her inspiring Parisian apartment where she lives part-time is ultra-feminine with elegant French furnishings, pops of pink, chinoiserie florals and gilded bronze accents.

One of my aboslute favorite pieces of occasional furniture is the always classic, highly versatile bar cart. In recent years, the bar cart has taken on a new multipurpose use in the home. Although it’s the perfect solution for those who love to entertain but don’t have room for a full bar, you don’t have to it just for serving drinks! You can repurpose your bar cart as a console table, styled up with a chic stack of books and a vase of pretty flowers, as additional storage for your favorite dinnerware and tabletop pieces, or even …
