Montage: 19 Bicycles in Interiors

Bicycles. I’ve got more than any city apartment should. Four, plus three scooters. In my living room. Unsurprisingly, they don’t look nearly as lovely as the single bikes shown in these interiors. Bikes seem to be the prop of the moment though. I’ve snapped photos of them used in displays in boutiques and restaurants all around the city. I can’t find found my favorite boutique example, the bicycle in Looc in the South End; and here are some others.

ARTmonday: Joe Bagley

I meant to post this on Monday. But no matter, the event isn’t until tomorrow.

Papercut artist Joe Bagley will be at ACQUIRE in Boston’s North End on Thursday evening.

If you can’t make it, Joe’s work is available at his Etsy shop.

Montage: 27 Rooms with Ladders

Ladders have been popular in interiors for a while now, not just to access books, but in bathrooms as towel racks. Even stepladders have been appropriated, sometimes with a tray on top, as side tables. To accompany my piece, “Trendlet: Ladders” on The Inside Source, I’ve put together an expanded montage of ladder decor.

Fashion Spotlight: CFDA Awards 2010 Best Dressed

Tonight I’ve been downloading photos from the CFDA Awards (that’s the Council of Fashion Designers of America for those of you lacking in style speak) for the NBC fashion blog “The Thread,” and thought I’d share some of my favorite looks of the evening.

DVF in DVF (obviously) and SJP in McQueen.

Gwyneth, looking fierce in Michael Kors, with Michael Kors.

Absolutely loving Jessica Biel’s summery animal print dress.

Donna Karan lost to Alexander Wang for the womenswear award, but she glowed this drapey gray gown.

I adore Alexa Chung. Loving the sparkly bow detail, not sure about the granny length dress, though the chunky vintage shoes pull it together.

I’m hardly a fan of Whitney Port, but this pearly metallic backless gown is pure goddess.

Remember Vogue editor Tonne Goodman from The September Issue? Hardly seems like a barrel of laughs, but she nailed it with this shiny belted number.
