The Majestic *Nariadni
Those boots put me on a horse kick! I have to honor TF Clarion's Sire Nariadni, the spunk of Nariadni was for sure passed to Clarion. Enjoy

Look What I Just Found!
This is for all of you who knew me when I was 10, ok maybe 12. I was obsessed with horses, I would do anything to be around them. I would even sleep on haybales with my barn friends and during shows we would all sleep on cots in a nearby stall so that we could be closer to the horses. We would awake early in the morning to the fresh scent of showhorses and manure penetrating our skin. However truly unique that story is to the masses, even more odd was my fashion sense. Those who ride the Arabian breed typically wear ropers when schooling. I couldn't have any old color and style though. I needed bright teal lace-up ropers. I was picked on all the time for those darn boots. People would go up to my trainer and ask, "is that one of your riders"? Regardless, I found the same pair of Justin ropers that I owned decades ago in a little vintage shop in the east village this weekend. My heart stood still!

Who Do You Idolize?
My response - Donna Karan. She is such an inspiration! Not for the reason most people idolize her for being a creative/fashion genius. I adore her for the creation of Urban Zen. I learned about the Urban Zen Foundation in 2006 from my yoga instructor Lara Benusis. We frequently had lengthy discussions after class about life, career, and relationships. It was during one of these discussions that she recommended I take a look at the foundation. As soon as I got home I found a video detailing the organization. Within five minutes I was moved to tears. I had also been moved into a place of action. The images and stories have irreversibly changed my life!

In Love With The Bloom
I find such great inspiration in flowers. They make me so happy and fill a home with such warmth. Living in Manhattan and feeling at home are two things that tend to not go together that is unless you have a lavish design budget and an enormous floor plan to play with. If you are like the rest of us, transient and non-commital New Yorkers you probably find yourself adding store bought window treatments, throwing a rug here and adding a light there. Just once, take it a step further. Fall's around the corner and is crisp for welcoming weekends spent touring the flower market with a warm latte and your lovely. If you aren't feeling adventurous but are sensing a staleness to the 600sqft you call home, take a trip to your local bodega and grab a few stems of whatever inspires you. It could be the fragrance of a fresh casablanca lily or the overwhelming volume of a hydranga, the simplicity of a rose or the elegance of a calla lily. No vase? Find an old wine bottle, jam jar or serving bowl, and throw in a few hydrangea stems for a rustic looking arrangement. VOILÀ
