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.

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.

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.
Designer Zac Posen and model Devon Aoki., both perfectly turned out.
Loving Ed Westwick here – hot. Even Chace Crawford looks less pretty than usual.
And finally, SJP in a spectacular Alexander McQueen (RIP) from Pre-Fall.
Good night.

When a friend saw the teaser on my last post about French brands eying Boston for boutiques, her hopes soared. “Isabel Marant?!” Sorry, no such luck. But French companies known abroad for attainable luxury are slowly infiltrating U.S. cities.
This includes Comptoir de Cotonniers, a line of basics, which is planning to open a shop here in the next six months, as well as Maje and Sandro both of which are planning on a Boston presence by the end of next year, WWD reports.

Sashaying (ok, not really) around town (well, around the Back Bay) to a crazy number of appointments last week in preparation of my summer migration to Cape Cod on Friday, I pretty much went the length of Newbury. Other than getting some much needed exercise, I was able to scout the latest developments on the storefront
As promised in April, Diane von Furstenberg has arrived – almost. The sign says they’re opening this summer. DVF chose a parlour level space on the second block of Newbury, between Berkeley & Clarendon. It’s above Skin Health Spa, next to BCBG and Max Mara, a few doors away from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Cannot wait to shop for new wrap dresses!
A block down, on the second floor of the old Waterworks boutique, massage master Michael Moore is opening an outpost of Moore Massage. I’ll see you there for sure. He’s a-mazing, and a nice guy too.
Sweet Cupcakes has picked a perfect spot – above Bostone Pizza – for its third location. I prefer Party Favors squishy, and sickly sugary treats, but Sweet’s little gems are really pretty and the shop’s ambiance lovely (designed by the very talented Annsley McAleer).
Rescue, a buy-sell-trade boutique that originally opened in Allston has recently moved to Newbury Street. (They must have been doing well.) I didn’t have time to stop in but it looks promising.
Finally, two (TWO!) “urban” pet shops are opening right on Newbury. Really? How long do you think they’ll last? That’s in addition to Pawsh on Gloucester. Now, if Polka Dog moved to this side of town, that’d be another story. We shall see. — Just in – my publicist friend says the Fish & Bone owner also owns Fetch in Portland, Maine, so she might have an edge.
There are two French clothing companies on expansion rampages coming to town, but more on that tomorrow!
