Let it snow: Stockholm 2010
Sweden in December is a winter wonderland. The deep blue skies, bright white snow and soft hazy light are magical. We spent most of the week bundled up in the country (hello -15 degrees) but couldn’t resist a trip to the city to see the Christmas decorations at Svenskt Tenn and my favorite church Riddarkyrkan [...]
Return of the Jedi!
Yup, we’re nerds. We admit it. We love Star Wars. So when Henry Hargraves of Williamsburg made photoshop magic with his wintry shots and Gothamist caught wind of it, we couldn’t resist posting. It’s not a blizzard in New York without an AT-AT roaming the streets (and so what if I still have my very [...]
Snowed In
After two feet of snow and countless snow drifts–we’re back! Safe travels to all those headed back to New York, and warm thoughts to all those steadfast shovelers in the five boroughs.
Bobo’s Fondue Extravaganza 2010!!
After Glöggfest, Bobo’s annual fondue extravaganza takes a close 2nd to best holiday party of the year. Mostly because Starrett is such a smokin’ hot hostess! And there is always great music and almost certainly a dance party will break out. It doesn’t hurt that the gorgeous Justine D is finally back in town too!! [...]
Glöggfest 2010!!
In our house, the holidays don’t officially kick off until we start planning and prepping for our big annual holiday party: Glöggfest. For six years running Nik has made his traditional libation and I have made the meatballs. It is a little involved, but I swear a million times better than the bottled stuff you can [...]
Somewhere is Really Something
If there’s one movie you see this holiday season, make it Sofia Coppola’s “Somewhere.” Beautifully shot, daringly static, profound–take our word for it, “Somewhere” is something worth watching on the big screen.
It’s that time of year…
Wishing you a merry and bright holiday !

Let it snow: London
December in London… can you say freezing cold and wet?!? Not exactly a tropical vacation, but we braved the non-stop blizzards for three days of music and art, both old and new. Sunday meant a trip to Westminster Abbey for a candlelight advent service. Amazingly, our friend Nico Muhly was helping out the resident organist [...]
All Bundled Up
We caught owner Jen Mankins all bundled up outside the Cobble Hill store before she jetted off to snowy Sweden–what a way to keep warm! Jen’s rocking a Mayle coat, lots of layers, and outrageous Christian Louboutin studded, pony hair leopard sneaks!
