Market Profile - Z Gallerie

I've been shopping at Zgallerie for years now and I must say they've really covered the market on home furnishings from furniture to accessories. With an eclectic, well-curated selection I can count on them to always have a bevy of interesting goods to catch my fancy. If you're looking for it, they probably have it. With a website that is literally overflowing with design inspiration, it would be a crime not to take a look!

Love it! - Ikat tray

It certainly doesn't look like Ikat is going anywhere. Over the past few seasons, from fashion to home decor, Ikat has ruled the shops and runways and for good reason. Its patterns and colors are grounded in tradition yet exude a wonderfully fresh appeal consistent with current trends - Bravo!

Market Profile - Desserts by Tawny Ong

A dear friend of mine Tawny Ong had the privilege this past week of catering the desserts at Gracie Mansion for Mayor Bloomberg's Lawn Party. Mini cupcakes in a variety of scrumptious flavors and banana pudding too sinful to describe were bigger hits then the food itself! If you live in the New York tri-state area - NY, Connecticut and New Jersey, then you're in luck because she delivers to your front door for any size party or event. Just take a look at her website and extensive menu. Once you try her goods, you'll be a repeat offender for life!

Love it! - Melamine plates

Who wants to use their best China when throwing a backyard barbecue or poolside party? So when I saw these monogrammed melamine plates on Horchow.com, I immediately thought - summertime outdoor entertaining! Throwing parties are stressful enough without worrying if the kids are going to drop their plates walking from the buffet line to the table. But with these bold designs, you don't need to sacrifice the style that your friends have come to know of you! Likewise, if you're the perpetual party "guest," wouldn't they make the perfect hostess gift - just add their initials and voila, a chic personalized gift that will keep you on the guest list for parties to come!
