inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer,
traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads,
succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,
low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max
Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum,
pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism
magazines of current
interest
Domino, Elle Decor (British), ARTnews, Art in America, Wallpaper
favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

snapshots from paris: paris baguette!
 The much-anticipated new Paris Baguette in New York's Koreatown!
 Banquet seating in the front. Très luxe.
 Good lighting. I'm a sucker for good decor. A subtle nod to French café society: metal stools originally
designed by Xavier Pauchard in 1934 That's a lot of French pastries. All the food bloggers have been wagging their tongues about Paris Baguette, which opened in Koreatown on September 9. So much so, that I ran all the way to check it out! I ran because I just got a heart rate monitor watch, and wanted to see how many calories I could burn getting there. (Only 30, but I didn't eat anything, so it was win-win.) As you know from previous posts, one of my hobbies is dessert-gazing. Not eating, just gazing. So enjoy the pics, and go taste for yourself. They have another Paris Baguette in Flushing, which I think I've actually been to for some reason. Again, I just gazed. What is it with me and loving to look at desserts? Paris Baguette6 W 32nd Street (5th Avenue/Broadway, closer to 5th) Koreatown New York 212.244.0404  The self-serve station.
Grab yourself a tray and a pair of tongs and get ready to dig in!
 Every pastry looks impeccable. And the place is fastidiously clean.
 This light, flat sheet dotted with almonds fascinated me the most.
 Japanese love "choux creme" too. I don't think the French refer to it as such...
 These cakes are works of art. I'd definitely get
one for a dinner party.
 I wonder how they taste?
 ...and now for the sinfully delicious (-looking)
I love the staff outfits: cute Paris-style striped shirts and berets.
 The seating area in the back is also quite nice.
But I prefer the front banquets.
 Checkout in the back. Lots of drinks too.
Like a matcha frappe. And cappuccino, etc.
Meet me for coffee!
