Its mysterious shape has been the subject of much speculation; some say it is based on Aalto’s sketches entitled, “The Eskimo Woman’s Leather Breeches.” Others speculate that the fluid shape might be inspired by the lines of the Finnish landscape. Regardless of its questionable origins, one thing remains indisputable: its serene beauty.

One all ways wonders: what to do with old Hermes scarves. I once wanted to make a quilt out of them, later on wanted to turn them into curtains, tres chic. But the latest innovating idea I had seen was this lampshade made out of them. Off course downscaling it to a normal proportion is also an option. And less scarves needed.

This winter, Santoni makes sure that you will look stylish and your feet will be warm. With a collection of shoes that are all handcrafted with names as Everest and St. Moritz, the name “Mountain Chic” really comes to mind. So what else can one do than purchase a pair of Santoni’s, i love the fact that they can be worn casual but they look also very sophisticated under a pair of grey flannel trousers.

Nicolicious on restaurants: we have always loved Balthazar’s in Soho New York. Why? First the atmosphere is so french, the food is beyond excellent, there are no american wines on the wine list! Reservation is needed, and can only be done by telephone.{212 941 0364}
