Architectural Digest runs a feature on celebrities’ favorite rooms and objects. My favourite is Marilyn Monroe’s, who, according to the article, always kept modest apartments, filled with books and records. She had said:

“I’m not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.” See the whole feature here.

“Views of Paris” Black and White wallpaper by Schumacher.That’s not new, it’s about one year old, but a. I love it and b. I think it’s a classic.

“The Kids“: Amazing photography-illustration by Martine Roch. Go through her Flickr stream, she has some gorgeous stuff.

The Solera Club: An amazing looking cocktail created by Jeff Morgenthaler. I suspect it tastes great too since it has sherry. I am definitely going to try and recreate it at home.Perfect for autumn.

A new book by Gore Vidal (Gore Vidal: Snapshots in History’s Glare) that is meant to be a visual memoir, comes to prove that among other things he is a style icon too. (via the NY Times)

That I love these photos by vladstudio is an understatement. I adore them. These are wooden windows in Russia. The atmosphere is just so imposing. They remind me of the smells, the light and the colours in the Russian Church that I sometimes go to, in Athens. And some of the old ladies there, they look like once, they had windows like those, too. (via English Russia)
