Good afternoon, Thursday. It's a hot and sticky mess outside, and I'm in the a/c listening to the Verve and wishing Richard Ashcroft would do something new. I love him so- the drugs don't work, they just make you worse...noted. He's perfect.
Speaking of perfect, you know those type of women who seem perfect in every way? You know- gorgeous, talented, smart, chic, and (gah) nice? Yea, I know. I want to hate them, but I can't. And I particularly can't hate a dear friend's wife, who is about to become the next big brand "me" out there. Sarah Sherman Samuel, an LA girl with sunny vibes, legs for days, and amazing taste, has just started a line called "A Sunny Afternoon". She's had a great style blog for some time and also makes amazing textile pieces and just about everything else- oh, and all made right here in the US of A for those of you keeping tabs on such things. And the name of the line is perfect for its aesthetic- think picnic baskets, wooden serving boards, and tea towels and table runners in glorious prints that would be perfectly at home in a Tribeca loft or backyard in Brentwood. I'm so impressed when people start their own thing- fedoras off to Sarah for launching a brilliant collection- I'm going to put an order in when we're done here and so should you. High hopes for this lovely collection- Sarah, how about a pop up shop in Brooklyn? Khan and I will work the room. Such the perfect stuff for modern homes that are not too fussed up or formal and embrace a love for the outdoors while still wanting to be stylish.
Cause that's what's up this let's hear it for the makers kind of Thursday in the 212. XO
