Music Under New York
Getting around New York can be quite a chore. I have always said the best mode of transportation is the NYC subway system. If you can stomach the dirt, crowds and threats, it really is an amazingly efficient system for shuffling eight million people through the city. The best part? The city's Music Under New York program. Started in 1985, MUNY musicians perform throughout the subway system. Below I have compiled a few of my favorites via YouTube.

Takashimaya
It is very rare that a sale can leave one sad. Today begins Takashimaya's closing sale. A beautiful home store with the most amazing floral department. I have drawn so much inspiration from this store over the years. It has set the bar so high for the way retail should be done. Unfortunately even they could not outlast this economy. The sale starts today with 40% off merchandise.

Paton Miller
I am looking forward to seeing new works by southampton artist and friend Paton Miller. I love his mix of bold and soft colors. Growing up in hawaii and spending extensive in Bali and at his farm in Cost Rica, Miller's work is a study on the culture and family life observed on his travels.

Design Trend: Nude
Nude colors that range in hue from beige to chocolate browns. Nudes are big this Spring in fashion; think Burberry's Spring 2010 collection, which featured nude colors layered upon each other (coats, shoes, handbags, belts, socks). Well that trend is just as popular in home design and decor. Right now, I am in love with these nudes, as well as beiges, muted golds and champagne colors.
