Being the daughter of enthusiasts, at a very early age, I learned the paths of the fleas and antique markets around the globe. I was treasure huntings as a young girl for exceptional pieces. Both my parents are collectors of modern sculptures and paintings and as soon as we went on any family holiday, we had to visit the museums, see the galleries, meet some artists, see the history of the place, and explore and live as the locals would. They love art in every shape and form and my mom encouraged me to choose my career according to this passion since I obviously did too...
Read moreAll That Glitters Is Not Gold
Always someone that deems sophistication at any given moment, I was the girl that preferred to wear backless long dresses to revealing short ones and high waisted trousers with a silk blouse to jeans and a crop top. In my opinion, there is something very telling about a woman that chooses to cover up and leave things to the imagination versus those that choose to give it all away up front (but, then again, talk to me when I’m wearing a blazer as a dress at The Blond dancing on a table and you’ll say I’m a total hypocrite)...

It's was 22h00 my time on a Tuesday night and instead of going out like normal twenty-something girls in New York City, I was thinking about the gym. I realized that I haven't trained in three days due to my social / work/ life calendar, so I put on a sports bra, pulled up some tights, zipped up a sweatshirt, tied my tennis shoes, velcroed my training gloves, grabbed my snapback and took the elevator up to the 8th floor and day-dreamed about my soon-to-be body...
Read moreHandwritten Notes: The Way To My Heart
If we're close, it's likely that you have received one of my hand-written notes at some point in our relationship. I'm positively obsessed with writing my sentiments down on paper, which is both old-fashioned and old-worldly, but also equally expressive in such a pure sense. It's positively thought-provoking, enriching, and magical. Quite frankly, it's positively me...

Most people don’t realize what a privilege it is to be able to work with your parents. Ever since I was little, my father and I bonded by working on projects together. I learn a lot from my father. I learned how to really understand music- from hi-fi to vinyls to playing the guitar...

I absolutely love Achille Salvagni's furniture, which is sold at Maison Gerard (a wonderful shop that specializes in French deco furniture, which happens to also be one of my favorite eras) in New York. His collection is a limited edition, so snag it if you have some pennies lying around, because it won't last long. He's done work for everyone including a major and ultra fab lighting piece made out of onyx, bronze and marble for the one and only, Jeff Koons...
