Andrew Harmon Oscar gown

When I told my dear friend Andrew Harmon I was invited to attend the 82nd Academy Awards he said he would be thrilled to make me a one of a kind Oscar gown. Not only was it a fun project but he got to dress me up like his little doll. At first his designed a silk patchwork biased cut dress in black and creams colors but he thought that looked too pretty. Why make a pretty dress for the Oscars? Why not make something outrageous and vampy? Above is the fabulous creation he came up with and it happened to fit me perfectly! Thank you Andrew. It’s truly the most beautiful dress I’ve ever worn. Incredible.

Here’s the beaded clutch to go with my gown, courtesy of Oak NYC. Thank you Louis and Jeff!

There’s No Place Like Here: Mid-Century Modest With Pam Kueber


Here’s the latest Etsy video I produced for our series on home decor and amazing spaces There’s No Place Like Here. Read the full article on Etsy’s blog.

Pam Kueber of blog Retro Renovation was originally looking for the Victorian farmhouse of her dreams in the Berkshires, but for various reasons (price, location, size) she and her husband ended up falling in love and purchasing a 1951 Colonial Ranch house instead. Although the house has aspects of a modern ranch house — the step down living room, the open dining room — a large portion of the house feels more Colonial or, as Kueber coined, “Mid-Century Modest.”
