Interior Inspiration: The Art of Gossip Girl
Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Lately I've indulged my baser instincts and pulled out the fundamental Gossip Girl seasons 1 & 2 from the DVD rack for some fashion inspiration and beautiful boys to stare at while eating dinner. I find the sets are such great interior inspiration that I must indulge in a bit of artist background. The powers that be in Gossip Girl land are always looking to bring in local factoids of New York City and especially to highlight hip NYC artists that are noteworthy for the Bass, Humphrey, Van der Woodsen clans.
Here are some of the sets where some interior inspiration may just jump directly on to the walls of my living room.
To begin there is debatably my favorite, the Richard Phillips "Spectrum" print that hangs over the staircase of the Van der Woodsen apartment. It is a statement piece that sets the mod chic elegance of the whole art-filled home.
My other favorite (they constantly tie for first) is the Richard Phillips "Scout" print hanging in Chuck Bass's bedroom. I had no idea these two prints were the same artist so it is funny, although I suppose not surprising, that they are both equally my favorite.
The entryway also showcases some other great pieces that I love, but that don't quite hypnotize me the same.
The Prada sign print by Elgmreen and Dragset may be the most prominent artwork among Lily's collection as it is a bold piece directing any guests straight into the drama of their home.
This Jessica Craig Martin print is actually quite good. I like the color choice, the appropriate modern feel of the fashion world as well as the interesting crop in the composition that has taken place. The dramatic crop makes you wonder about the lives of the portrait's subjects...I like art that makes me wonder.

Traveling Diva: Savannah, Georgia
Monday, June 6, 2011
My darlings, I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Savannah, Georgia for Memorial Day Weekend. Hot, sunny, and full of sweet tea, it was just what I needed for a good southern fix! Plus, it was so wonderful to get a nice break from the city rush and spend some quality time with the fam.
Our view from the hotel, overlooking Savannah's Historic District
(complete with a ferry boat to shuttle you back and forth)!
Savannah is like a canvas of inspiration, between the cobblestone streets and the
swirly wrought iron work, every turn brings a new wave of artistry.
I just love how all the streets in the south are framed by massive sweeping oaks that hang Spanish Moss.
It feels like you are walking through a movie set.
So tell me mes cheris, are you jonesin' for a trip down to Savannah, Georgia now?
I must say, I loved eating all my comfort foods I can't quite get in NYC, but man if I didn't have to eat salad the entire next week to feel like I wouldn't gain 10 pounds from visiting Dixie country!
Y'all come back now ya hear?
