la grenouille

the other night, i was in the city (nyc) with my brother, my nephew & my sister in law..and for some craaazy reason their new "we always go there" place is la grenouille.

this place is so straight outta the 60's it is hysterical..in fact i don't think they have changed one thing..and in a way..that is precisely what makes this spot so on the money.

{woody and mia!}

we sat at the bar enjoying champagne while waiting for our chocolate souffle's to arrive..

and let's just say... i ate the whole thing!  i could not stop!

ahhh the little things.

alexander calder {crush}

 growing up we used to spend some time at the home/gallery of my cousins dolly and klaus perls.  the perls were so beyond fabulous..even to my seven or so year old perspective..i mean just look at them!  their gallery on madison avenue in the 70's was home to much of sandy calder's ouevre..as the perls were Calder's dealers..

so let's just say this was an early design obsession..just loved me some calder..

but if you look at these jewelry pieces today they share the same joie that they had then..and therefore equally fab.

sculpture for the body..that said i am a somebody!  hear me roar!  i mean..even georgia and peggy had to have some! 

 and i would have to say that it still looks fun and fresh and fabulous..perhaps dated..but in a really good way!
