housewives and fashion, who knew?
hey guys! after a long day i’m chillin and watching my guilty pleasure, the housewives of nyc. it’s the season premiere. anyway, jill went to see an incredible designer zang toi with a beautiful studio so i googled him and found these images and couldn’t help but stop and share:
of course you stumble on wild great things in a search like this. i really just liked this site for the second i saw it just now!

i came across this from maison 21 in the search for the pics and it was a good reason to announce that christian wrote asked me to co-host a challenge this summer. i of course said yes! more details to come on that!
oh and i added noel’s pretty books to the stationery department on my site, today finally getting the hang of being able to do it all myself. she’s the first of the bloggers i’d love to host on it. if you have an idea or product let’s cross promote!
ok and last but not least, the generous and talented sara of sadie olive tweaked the homepage for me. let me know what you think! of course it’s not finished (i want to make the candles burn and sparkle) but it’s a start…always a start!
ok it’s back on, have a great night!

Wow great post Claudia! I cant wait to check out all the new things. I like the candle sconces on your website. I wish the lady in the swing wasn’t cut off. It’s a pretty picture. Zang Toi’s work is amazing. You always find such beautiful new things… :)

Hilarious. I am watching Bravo at this very moment and the Zang Toi images immediately came to my mind. I think it was an old Elle Decor. The Marie Antoinette panels were burned into my memory. Soooo cool. And, I just checked out your great shop! Love the lucite handles. Ok. back to the show. So bad but I can’t make myself turn it off!!!

um, it’s christian, not christopher. but that’s ok, i think in answering your comments on my blog, i’ve ben calling you “lyn” up until recently- didn’t catch my error until i sent you an email through your website the other day!
normally since i can NEVER remember anyone’s names, i try to just stick to “sweetie” and “hon”. saves me lots of embarrassment.

I’m a ‘housewives’ junkie as well… I too remember this room, at first I thought Domino- but I think Elle Decor might be right. Don’t know if I could take that living room for too long- but I think his bedroom is fantastic! Your homepage looks tres chic, congrats!

I dream of having an all white paris apartment. As I rent mine I have to live with the orange padded tapisserie walls. Kind of funky but wearing. Carla

I’m an NYC Housewives junkie as well, although I hate to break it to you — the premiere episode was several weeks ago! I’m sure you’ll be able to catch up (if you so desire) during a marathon one of these weekends.

oh whew! glad you give it the thumbs up! sorry there is such high end stuff on the site. i have to balance it with the fleamarket finds but am teaming up with manufacturers who set the prices. i hope to afford a piece someday too!
as for you christian, i have no idea why i wrote christoper when my brother’s name is christian and i thought about him while i typed it up. what’s wrong with me?!
