Wear/Where | Gold deco

How do you incorporate a little gold deco into your life? Anywhere and everywhere.

To start with, you could put a pin in it; Rodarte’s deco ball hair comb is exactly the kind of stunner you’d expect to see in Baz Luhrmann’s take on The Great Gatsby (a film that keeps getting better and better — it will be scored by Jay-Z and costumes will be designed by Prada).

If you’re in the mood to deco-rate (ha!) then take a seat in these stunning chairs designed by Philippe Bestendheider, seen here at the Martin Margiela-designed Maison des Champs Elysees in Paris. Their price is available upon request. Which likely means they’re worth their weight in gold.

Wear/Where | Magenta

Wondering what to dangle from your earlobes, busy bees? How about John Wind Maximal Art Amethyst Queen Bee Drop Earrings? They’re that beautiful shade of magenta that complements the dark grey blouse you wear everyday. But can you incorporate bright, bright pink into your home, you ask? Why yes, the Shrine Flat-table by Schemata Architects mixes magenta resin with wood, a combination I’ve loved ever since I first saw Vancouver’s MTH Woodworks’ resin and wood tables in person (they don’t photograph as beautifully as they are).

Think pink, ladies and magentlemen.

Wear/Where | The Bronze Age

Gold gets all the glory, but I love the warmer, richer tones of the metal that always comes in third.

From top left: the Martignac apartment by Studio Ko in Paris, a garland boa (the dollar store’s best holiday party accessory), Penguin’s new look for the 70th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classics (I just finished reading The Great Gatsby and cannot wait for the film to be released), the most gorgeous lights $10,000 can buy, and a perfect party dress by Jonathan Saunders.

Wear/Where | The Future is Bright (Yellow)

It’s been popping up everywhere — bold, bright yellow accents in homes and in fashion. It’s torture for me because I can’t really wear it (I’m far too pasty), but boy could I accessorize with it.  Or at least read books covered in it.

From the top left: a cozy knitting project, a yellow cross that would be easy to paint on your own wall, colour-coordinated photographers Tamu McPherson and Hanneli Mustaparta, T.S. Eliot’s Tony Award-winning play The Cocktail Party, a bold yellow fireplace, cheap and cheerful Gelareh shoes, and the Delta Chair by Marten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune.
