More On Tony Romo
Well Christine, word is that Jessica Simpson will help Tony with his decor. And even if he is not the world’s best tastemeister, Mr. Romo knows how to drive a mean bargain about as well as he handles a pigskin.
John Robshaw, Hugh Grant, whatever. I’m in.
My daughter Loddie directed me to this website for possible pillow purchases for her dorm room at boarding school. When I visited the “about us” page I was a little taken aback by the Hugh Grant look-alike. I pretty much would buy whatever he was selling. And what he is selling — if you like woodblock ethnic prints — is karma-riffic. Check it out.
Tony Romo needs a decorator. Suggestions?
In case you missed Candy Evan’s posts on Tony Romo’s new house, go here. This man, obvi, needs a decorator. But who? Who can make this house into…. a house?
Mind Your Manners at Miele
Here’s your chance to learn proper cocktail party etiquette - IFDA is sponsoring the lovely etiquette coach Marsha Horne on Wednesday at Miele on Oak Lawn. I’m already pretty good at sipping wine, I wonder if she’s going to address slamming tequila shots or chugging beers - that’s where we really need the manners. Maybe I can find out how to manage the glass of wine, the bite sized hors d’oevre that’s really not, and the person in front of me asking me pointed questions. Or, the all important “rules of the napkin.”
So Fresh and So Clean
I love these colorful herringbone towels from Williams-Sonoma Home. Kind of Missoni-esque, don’t ya think? I love white/khaki and blue/periwinkle, but not so much the pumpkin/persimmon (aka orange/red). Too much color for me. Hand towels are $20 each and bath towels are $36.
