Here are my latest finds and news from style, fashion, film, design and beautiful living.
• Stripped of any kind of embellishment, Kerrie Yeung jewelry is a study in simplicity and craftsmanship. Kerrie’s minimalist designs, handcrafted in the designer’s studio in Brooklyn, are beautiful and delicate. They are pieces that make a subtle statement and evoke a perfectly undone elegance. New classics.
• Anya Caliendo will present her SS 2014 Collection of Couture Hats, “Confessions” at New York Fashion Week this September. Congratulations, Anya!
• Until Woody Allen’s new film, Blue Jasmine, arrives in our cinemas (can not wait to see Cate Blanchett!), I loved reading Mary Jo’s great post on the fashion in the movie
• And as long as we are on the subject, here is praising the undone beauty of Woody Allen’s female leads
• Hartwood is a Mexican, farm to table, 100% solar powered restaurant where all meals are created by hand (no electrical appliances!). It’s all about getting back to the basics, using slow roasting and open fire cooking to prepare meals for diners.
• A Swedish Love Story
• A gorgeous lavender farm photographed on film – that’s what makes it all the more special
• Cristóbal Balenciaga in his French manor home
• Workshop: saddler and leather craftsman Philippe Le Noën. I’ve just discovered Fantastic Provence, a magazine brimming with lifestyle inspiration. Have a look!
I wish you a wonderful weekend, filled with laughter and good times!
Note: You may have noticed that the Notebook Pages series is bimonthly during the summer

I’m loving those simple bangles and that leather worker’s bags (not to mention studio) – gorgeous! Thank you for that little surprise of including me in your links
– an honor, you always post things I love to click on!

I think I’m realising it more and more that I’m not much of a jewellery person, except for wooden bangles ; – ), but I do like the styling in the first photo. I already read Mary Jo’s post and I’m looking forward to seeing the film … probably on DVD in the future!
Wonderful to get a little sneak peek into Balenciaga’s home – I would have loved to see the rest. Made me wonder if it was kept the way it was or sold after his death.
Have to continue with the gardening, will look at the rest of the links during my next break. Have a wonderful weekend, Ada!
I so much enjoyed reading about the free spirit and hair of Woody’s actresses and can’t wait to see his new film. And Fantastic Provence will become my daily read, too, I am sure! Have a lovely weekend, Ada 😉
PS: There is nothing to laugh about crime-detective Columbo with his fancy trench ;), Ada, but about my childhood interests, always following the criminal, sounds like a lawyer :D!
Beautiful jewelry… but so expensive! : /
This jewelry is gorgeous!!! LOVE that it is tough and delicate feel.
