Classic Gift: Customized Silhouette
Another great gift suggestion from “WITH LOVE” is this paper cutout silhouette made by an artist on Etsy.com. Send a snapshot to the artist and he can customize your cutout with anything you’d like for $40.00. Etsy is one of the best sites to find gifts from all over the world!
Classic Chanukah Gifts
It is the season for family and giving. Judging from the lack of crowds in the shops this past week, it seems most of us are focused on family this year and not on material things. Still over the next week we will feature some gift ideas. I asked my friend Rachel for the classic chanukah gift; gelt of course. So this year step it up a notch and give the Chanukah Gelt Treasure chest , or in Rachel’s words, get fancy while playing dradel and bring godiva chanukah gelt.
Much love,
Amanda
Marc Jacobs
This week the New York Post reports that the ubiquitous Marc Jacobs and his partner recently closed on a Bethune Street Townhouse. The property is part of the very chic West Village Superior Ink Condominium development.
Supposedly they paid 10.4 million dollars for 4400 square feet of raw space. The house has the highly desired celebrity amenity; direct access to underground parking.
Buying it raw was a smart move. Now he can design a house to his fabulous taste and at the same time access the highest level of service the West Village has to offer.
Alain Delon
Another auction worth watching happens on December 8th in Chicago, at Wright 20. It will focus on important 20th century design. My favorite piece is this super sexy Alain Delon entertainment system with built in Thorens turntable.
Any excuse to think of Alain Delon I will gladly take. Another highly desirable piece up for grabs is this Jean Prouve bench, and rather beautiful Max Sauze Orion chandelier.
