House Party.

Next Wednesday February 22nd, is the 24th Annual Bailey House Auction & Party where New York’s compassionate trendsetters raise money to house homeless people with AIDS/HIV through a magical evening of cocktails, mingling, and bidding wars. This is one of the best parties of the year and one not to be missed!

Hosted by New York’s finest designers and television personalities, including Andy Cohen, Simon Doonan, Sherri Shepherd and more, this year’s event will be a star-studded gala to remember.

The live auction will feature one-of-a-kind items including these black and white photographs above, with all proceeds benefiting Bailey House clients. Attendees will be able to bid on exclusive items and experiences including meet and greets with Bravo’s Andy Cohen or legendary journalist Diane Sawyer, passes to Jean Paul Gaultier’s couture show and home items from Swarovski, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and much more.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Wishing everyone out there a Happy Valentine's Day. And speaking of love...We love what David Stark's done to one of our favorite Soho destinations Nina Freudenberger's Haus Interiors. Stark "ambushed" the shop with over 75 wood-shop inspired home accessories and the results are fantastic. Entitled Wood Shop, the installation is only up for the next couple of weeks and things are selling out fast. We especially like the heart shape wooden box of "chocolates" pictured above. If you're not in New York...no need to worry-you can still purchase Stark's creations on-line here, and to get a better idea of what the shop itself looks like click here. Congratulations to both David and Nina...we've always been big fans!
