Posted on August 29, 2011 by Melanie Charlton

In the world of accessories, there is jewelry and then there is jewelry ­–the kind of jaw-dropping, show-stopping treasures that elicit where-did-you-find-that shrieks.

Hollywood stylists have taken note: these days, the...

clos-ette case: Sara Gilbane

Posted on August 02, 2011 by Melanie Charlton

There’s nothing worse than a living space that feels more like a showroom than a place for you to kick back and enjoy. That’s precisely why we’re mad for Sara Gilbane’s young, warm, and eminently livable interiors. The New York-based designer –and former Celerie Kemble protégé –has a knack for creating the sort of classic-but-eclectic rooms that boast heaps of color, pattern, comfort and personality. And we are far from her only fans: Gilbane, who...
