Check Out South of Market

Interior Designer Kay Douglass went shopping in France and bought too many things to fit in her own home. What to do? Open a store to sell the excess wares. South of Market was born. On her website Kay writes a charming blog and offers online sales in addition to the two shops she has in Atlanta and Charlston. I've posted a few of her framed art pieces. They range from French maps, mounted seed pods, botanical prints, antique wooden hangers, panels, pulled pages of antique ledgers, and historical Chinese costumes.

Moncler Campaigns

With Fall and Winter ads already appearing in fashion magazines, I've become a fan of the Moncler advertisements. Since the 50's they have been fun and stylish urging us all to get out there on the slopes. I've assembled a few of my favorite images of their's through the years.

Visit Mondo Cane

Together Greg Wooten and Patrick Parrish formed Mondo Cane in 1994 at the Michigan Modernism show in Detroit. Since then, they have been regular exhibitors at Modernism events in New York, Miami and Palm Springs and Los Angeles. In September 2000 they opened their first shop in Chelsea. By 2004 Mondo Cane had outgrown its Chelsea location and the partners decided to move the gallery to 174 Duane Street in Tribeca. Besides wonderful home goods, they have an exhibition space. Most recently they showcased Carl Auböck.

Photographer, Tom Mannion

Photographer Tom Mannion shared some photos of various collections today. His work is beautiful and these groupings of puppets, horns, shells and postcards are lovely and intriguing. What do you collect?

When in Doubt, Look to the Masters

Listen up, gentlemen. The New York Times reported that Hart Schaffner Marx, the 123-year-old Chicago-based clothier has turned the page on a rocky past year and is now reviving it's inspiration and its roster of well-known brands, which include Hickey Freeman, Austin Reed and Bobby Jones. Where do you look for classic style that will never go out of style? Paintings. Maxfield Parrish paintings have been used for Hickey Freeman advertisements. Beautiful art and fine tailored suits - a stunning combo.
