Words To Live By

Real Estate Crush: 50 Central Park South

I love to look at real estate listings and this one blew me away.  The view of Central Park alone is absolutely stunning.  I would love to wake up everyday to that view.  The interior design by Michael Smith is pretty amazing too.  I'm loving the rooms with the light neutral colors.  For a mere $50,000,000 you get a 4,536 sq ft. condo with 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.  Here are some of the pictures from the Sotheby's listing.

I'm particularly excited about Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch.  

Diane von Furstenberg recently had a collection at The Gap for children, I was so disappointed she didn't do a line for adults.  Those lucky kids!

Whenever I think of Marc Jacobs it reminds me of Carrie and Sex and the City, love that show! I love his handbags too. 

I've always liked Tory Burch and her blog is great read!

 These Tory Burch sandals have been a favorite of mine for years, I just love the logo.

Another great find, I think I'll add this Tory Burch bag to my wishlist.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

I recently read a book called Fairy Tale Interrupted: A Memoir of Life, Love, and Loss written by RoseMarie Terenzio who was John F. Kennedy Jr.'s assistant.  RoseMarie also became good friends with John's wife Carolyn.  I have to admit I'm slightly obsessed with the Kennedy's, and reading this book gave me an insight into their lives, which I really enjoyed reading. 

I've always thought that Carolyn was so classy and beautiful.  Her style is timeless and I couldn't help to think if she were here today, what kind of style trends she would be setting.  Here are some of my favorite pictures of her.

Bill Cunningham New York

This last week I was home sick one day so I caught up on some movies.  One of the movies I watched was a documentary called "Bill Cunningham New York".  I've been wanting to see it for a long time.  It's about an 80 year old fashion photographer who has a column in the New York Times.  It was so interesting to get a glimpse of his life and his work.  It's such a wonderful documentary, I loved it.  I can't wait to see it again.
