New Year, New Things
Published on 2010-01-24 11:53:00
I am so identifying with this, as a collector of things and especially when you are in cramped quarters of a Paris or NYC apt this is so relevant. This coming from a girl with beautiful rolls and rolls of French 1930s ribbons, glassware bursting from its cabinets and boxes, vintage Ungaro pieces that I just can't part with. Letting go is so hard but mostly for the best, no? We make room for the new.Happy New Year all.XOXO,BG
Photo montage of Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol's NYC Loft

A very inspiring photo montage of Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol's Loft. Love it. We live in a loft-esque flat, but this is what I truly aspire to. The original wood floors and such. Beautiful. Also features furniture from the delightful BDDW.

Just a little note.The Barney's sale is a-mazing. At least the recession has provided more equal access to fashion ;).I picked up the most beautiful Lanvin boots from Fall 08 (remember those highly coveted flat ones that LL and Nicole Ritchie were sporting?).Sign. Heaven.Get thee to Barney's. And, hey--just think of it as a safer investment in these trying times. Ha.xo,BG

Great Shoe Sample Sale
Published on 2008-01-07 16:30:00
Now this sale is always majorly crowded and there are plenty of duds amongst the hidden gems, but it is most worth it for the great staple boots and shoes you can find, especially boots. I frequent this sale every year and always manage to find fantastic Italian boots and heels at crazy cheap prices. The trick is that as the sale peters out (the last 2 days) the prices drop. So by the last day you can find incredible Italian boots and Frye's and Ugg's for less than 50$ a pair. They also usually
