A great book was recommended to me over the weekend, it is The Asylum: True Tales of Madness from a Life in Fashion by Simon Doonan. Simon is the Creative Ambassador at Large at Barney’s New York. He is responsible for their wonderful year round outstanding window displays. He is also married to designer Jonathan Adler. I met Mr. Doonan a year or so ago at the NY Gift Show and he was just as fabulous as the designs he creates. I cannot wait to read this book and the juicy fashion secrets it holds! You can buy this book HERE.
This weeks fashionable friend Friday is a lovely lady, Lotte, who I have known for a while now. Her personal style and talent blow me away every time. I recently had the pleasure of touring her fabulous home. She is an incredible designer and has an eye for interiors and most especially staging and placing accessories. I am so lucky to be able to bring photos of her gorgeous rooms to my readers. Get ready for some serious house ENVY!!!
Since the last One Pot Pasta recipe was such a hit, I thought I would post another one. I have not tired this yet but it is on the menu for the next week. I found this on the Cooking Light website, so not only is it suppose to be delicious but good for you too!!!
