Shopping Trip: Fig in Westport, CT
We always visit family in Westport, Connecticut over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. In addition to catching up with everyone, I manage to find time to shop. This year, in addition to the usual stocking up on staples at J.Crew, I purchased a new duvet for our bedroom, which is in the process of a glorious redesign.
The duvet, by Matouk, is white with a grey border. It’s from Fig, a shop right off Main Street in downtown Westport. Fig is filled with linens and pillows by John Robshaw, Kelly Wearstler, Sferra, Matouk, Missoni, and others. I wound up chatting for a while with the owner, Carlin, who has great taste, and even offered to bring me on a behind-the-scenes tour at the Matouk factory. I may just take her up on it.

Designer Spotlight: David Hicks
I recently worked with Ashley Hicks, designer and son of legendary designer David Hicks, on an article for eBay’s new lifestyle site, The Inside Source, “Ashley Hicks on His Father, David,” to promote his new book, David Hicks: A Life of Design. The book is worth an actual read, rather than a simple flip to look at the pretty pictures.
What struck me most, besides Hicks’ incredibly privileged, glam lifestyle, was how many of his design innovations endured. A number of features seen in his room throughout the ’60s and ’70s, are au courant today.

Montage: 26 Spaces Hung with Stars
I didn’t forget that it is holiday time. (Notice the new red header.) In honor of the season I have curated rooms featuring stars. Some are lit, some are simple decoration, all are worthy of a wish. Happy holidays.
