deluxe: how luxury lost it's luster

2010-10-27T05:00:00.000-05:00

Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster

Well this book has been out for awhile now, but I just got around to reading it. Nothing in it is truly shocking, but rather it's more of an account to how the luxury business has changed. Luxury used to be about quality, craftsmanship and was only available in limited quantities. Now luxury has gone mass- it's in every shopping mall and airport. There are few companies left that truly make luxury goods. The rest, (such as Gucci) are money driven corporate machines selling an image of luxury, not real luxury. It's terrible how many of these brands are producing more and more of their goods in China and other less developed nations. The way I see it, just about everything we buy these days in already made in China, so if I were to shell out a huge amount of money for a 'luxury' item, it would expect it to be made in Italy, France, etc. And even worse, many of these companies are not honest about where the goods are made. They often slap a 'Made in Italy' label on something that was made in China and only the final assembly was done in Italy. Although I don't often buy luxury goods, I spend about six months a year in China for my job. I have toured countless factories and I have seen first-hand the poor quality, child-labor and damage to the environment that often takes place here. Not all factories operate in this way, but in my mind, luxury brands to not belong here.

You may not listen to her music, but you got to hand it to Lady Gaga for being so highly creative, confident and unique.

So, I'll try to post more often now! Here are some of my latest additions to my Etsy shop- Chinese lantern, peacock and butterfly.

You can view them here.

linen delights

2010-03-24T22:48:00.004-05:00

i found some cool stuff on the restoration hardware website i'd thought i share...

In the grand chateaux of 18th-century France, the porter, stationed by the entrance to admit visitors, would have sat in a chair much like this.

How would you like this in your closet? Made to atelier standards, handcrafted of papier-mâché, dressed in labeled antiqued linen.

Among the oldest designs in formal seating, the X-based bench appears in ancient Greek and Roman art and has graced staterooms and palaces, salons and inner sanctums for centuries.

stacking boxes

2010-03-19T11:45:00.000-05:00

oh how i would love to have these boxes in my house! i would probably go with the classic solid box with trim, there are other cool options including agate and pastel piet mondrian.

my absolute favorite lighting comes from a company called shine home. my house would be filled with their lamps, if only i could afford them. for now, drooling over these pictures will have to do. do you have any favorite lighting companies?

I hadn't stopped by Anthropologie's wallpaper section in awhile. They have so many great prints to choose from now. Here are my favorities: Blooming Filigree, Woods and Coral Forest.

i love that a lot actresses took a risk this year- for some it payed off, for others it didn't. my favorite this year was sarah jessica parker in a gorgeous chanel in the most lovely soft yellow and silver. i would love to get close up to see the amazing detailing. my second choice is miley cyrus for looking super elegant and beautiful and not looking like a teenager trying to wear adult clothing, and third is nicole richie for rockin' a cool 70's vibe. and last but not least, rachel mcadams. who were your favorites?
