Chic in NY: Warehouse Sales

Lest you think I forgot where I live, I figured I should let you know about the warehouse sales going on right now in New York. First up is the annual Stark Warehouse Sale. This year they've added Holland & Sherry whose fabulous cashmere fabrics were first designed for bespoke suiting. Probably the reason why I want to roll around in them naked. (Did I just say that out loud?!)

Last year, I went to the Stark Warehouse Sale to look at broadloom carpets for my client's baby nursery project. I got in line and thought to myself how chic and well dressed everyone was for the Stark sale. Turned out I was in line for the Hermes Warehouse Sale! Of course, I went in and bought a few things. So make sure you know what line you should be in but definitely go to both! Hermes runs through Sunday as well!

While you're downtown, make sure you stop by the Flair Warehouse Sale! It's right down the street from their store and also runs through Sunday. Tell them I sent you and happy shopping!

New Wave

A reader asked the name of the fabric that Katie Ridder used on the back of the chairs above. It's called New Wave by Old World Weavers and the color is Capri (AB 0003 6512). It's available from Stark in New York but was out of stock today when I stopped by with my friend Eddie Ross. I was told that it's very popular and this is evident by the fact that Steven Gambrel also used it for the draperies in his new townhouse, below. It's a very beautiful fabric and I look forward to using it someday too. But first I have to wait for my sample to arrive!
