Sheila Bridges: At Home in Harlem

Have you had the chance to read the New York Times article about Sheila Bridges yet? It's a wonderful piece on the sassy decorator and her thoughts on love, decorating and her upcoming book. You may know her as Bill Clinton's decorator and as the author of The Bald Mermaid, in which she discusses life with alopecia. Besides her colorful commentary, I also fell in love with her colorful Harlem apartment! I've selected a few of my favorites (I'm particularly partial to that pretty green room) but you should definitely check out the rest when you have the chance. 

The Newest Addition to my Bookshelf

From one of my favorite tastemakers, Simon Doonan, comes the latest diet revolution: Gay Men Don't Get Fat.

With a heavy dose of sarcasm and genius use of stereotype, Doonan splits foods into "gay" and "straight" categories. That meatloaf you've been craving? "...that's a whole lot of hetero to digest," he says. Macaroons and baby arugula? I'll let you assume. He argues that it's about striking a balance between gay and straight, surely with some hilarious quips along the way. If this book is half as great as his others, I'm sure it'll be a hit. I'm dying to get my hands on it!!

Order it from Barney's (his place of employment) or Amazon, and in the meantime check out this fabulous article in The New York Times.
