Adler & Reid
February 7th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
Two great interviews in this month’s Matchbook! The first is an interview with fashion designer Jules Reid. Not sure I could pull off her clothes, but I love that she made her transition into fashion when she was 40 (with 3 kids no less!) Very inspirational and such a good reminder that it’s never too late to pursue something you love. Plus, her house decor is super fun.
The second interview is with Jonathan Adler, one of my absolute favorites. His stuff can be crazy but he truly embodies his motto of happy chic and I would love to work in his office!! Enjoy!

A-listers Need to Know:
MARCH Pantry
January 27th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
My Mother-in-law forwarded me their opening announcement and I can’t wait to visit the new MARCH Pantry shop on Sacramento St. in SF. The MARCH Pantry space used to be MARCH, a fabulous store that sold high end antiques. It looks like their antiques are still available on 1stdibs.com if you want to take a peak.
The new store is said to focus on “the best custom-made tables, ethereal handcrafted tableware, vintage baking equipment, antique kitchen furniture, traditional Belgian linens, all very healthy and eco-aware.”
From the pictures, the space looks fresh and sophisticated and while I’m sure it’s a bit pricey I can’t wait to visit for some inspiration!

Rae Dunn

I came across Rae Dunn at a local shop here in Mill Valley called Maison Reve (on a side note, if you’re ever in MV this is a must visit, they have fantastic antiques and accessories. They are a bit pricey but it’s worth visiting even just for some inspiration). Ok, back to Rae, she’s a Bay Area native (yay!) with a background in industrial design. Her clay creations range from napkin rings to cheese plates and she also makes custom items like birthday dishes or wedding ring trays (pictured below).
What I think is so beautiful about her work is the texture she creates from the clay, which perfectly compliments her simple designs. Her neutral color palette makes it super easy to combine her pieces with any tableware and her sometimes cheeky wording adds the perfect amount of sass to any tablescape!
