Sexy...Sassy...Samantha.

Sex with an ex can be depressing. If it's good, you don't have it anymore; if it's bad, you just had sex with an ex." - Samantha

Samantha is a successful PR exec who knows what she wants, and most of the time, she gets it. She radiates confidence in everything she does; whether it's landing a star client, getting a table at the trendiest restaurant or bedding the hottest guy in the room. Samantha embraces her uninhibited sexuality with a diverse (and large) group of lovers, from wrestling coaches to power bachelors to farmers.

Fashion Sense
Samantha's high-power lifestyle demands a wardrobe ready to make a statement at every occasion. For work, she gravitates towards body-accentuating suits in bold colors, and at night she turns up the volume with racy ensembles that show off her figure and personality.

Garments are available at Project 159 and Project 234

Samantha at her best....

Sex and The City Week.


The Countdown has began.  The only movie that all of us have to see will be in theaters May 30th.  So we have four days to prepare.

Sex and the City, series originally aired on HBO in 1998, for a total of six seasons. Set in New York City, the show focused on four female characters, the fashion and its industry due in large part to celebrated stylist Patricia Field. The sitcom tackled socially relevant issues, often dealing with women in our society, and how changing roles and definitions for women affected the characters.

This Friday, the movie will show us what our girls have been up too, since the series ended in 2004.
Will Miranda and Steve live happily ever after in Brooklyn?
Will Charlotte finally get pregnant and be able to have a baby?
Can Samantha be a good girl and faithful to Smith.
Carrie and Mr. Big, husband and wife?

Hopefully the movie will be able to answer all those and questions and more,but until then, we'll take you guys down memory lane, and remind everyone why we love each of the girls so much.


MIRANDA HOBES, is smart, self-assured and proud of her achievements. She raises the bar for herself continually, be it in her professional or personal life. Tough and down-to-earth, she doesn't open up easily, masking her vulnerability with cynicism and self-deprecating humor.
FASHION
For Miranda, fashion is more about getting the job done than following the latest trends. By day, her lawyerly look tends towards smart tailored suits, with color and prints.



The Miranda Looks
Plastic Island Yellow chiffon blouse: Available at Project 159 and Project 234.

                                       Plastic Island Printed Dress: Available at Project 159 and Project 234.

No excuses not to cook now.


There’s nothing like getting a little mechanical help in the kitchen to make life better for you after a long day at work.
This kitchen concept created by Emanuel Gargano and Marco Fagioli is inspired by craftsmen and workshops. The large central body contains a motorized integrated cabinet that can be lifted up showing all the utensils used in the preparation, cooking and washing of food.

The double-sided motorized cabinet can house, within a single space, not only kitchen utensils but also elements used in living areas such as monitors, DVD/CD players and a mobile bar.
A vertical beveled edge on each door serves as a cabinet handle, providing for a clean unobstructed front view. To learn more about the Anima concept kitchen design, visit Binova

No Tiffany please.



Shaun Leane thinks outside of the box and it shows in his jewelry designs. Some of his pieces may be described as elegant design with a contemporary edge, avante garde, mind provoking. This might be why Alexander Mcqueen, and the House of Givenchy uses Shaun's pieces for their own unique fashion shows.

This Britain native, who has worked in the jewelry industry for the past 21 years, is internationally celebrated for pushing the boundaries of jewelry design. Shaun Leane Ltd. was established in 1999. Since then, it has grown into a business that supplies jewelry to over 50 UK and International outlets. His silver collections are stocked in the four main London department stores – Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Liberty, and Harrods and in Neiman Marcus in the U.S.

To purchase one of his pieces will cost you a pretty penny but, remember this is better deal than Tiffany. its jewelry and art in one!

Blacker the Berry, the sweeter the juice.


The latest Crackberry to join the family was recently unveiled. Code named 9000 was officially bestowed the somewhat cheesy name Bold. BB followers that left the crack nation to join the IPhone family, for those looking to return to the goodness of a solid keyboard, a new king has emerged.

There is 1GB internal flash memory and expandable storage up to 16 GB. The aesthetics are relatively the same, keeping that distinct BlackBerry look, stressing what most business users will confirm, usability.

Type away you addicts.

Utilizing Space



Architect Neil Denari has conceived a form that bends and folds into its tight surroundings. The challenge is a 40 foot wide lot near Tenth Avenue which is partly covered by the High Line. The condo will rise up on one side and then slightly cantilever over the old elevated railway bed.

Glass will reveal structural crossbeams that look almost like tiebacks holding everything together against gravity. The condo will include nine floor-through apartments ranging in size from about 1,900 square feet to 2,600 square feet. The penthouse duplex unit will have 3,700 square feet and a terrace. A ground floor duplex will also be available.

A Secret Treasure in Paris.


In Paris, there is a short, secret paved path, located between, trees and plants where the “maquis de Montmartre” remains are. Just in front of the intriguing “Rocher de la sorcière” (The witch’s rock), a gate will lead you to a beautiful mansion from the Directoire period. It is called L’hotel Particulier de Montmartr.


L’hotel Particulier de Montmartre (The Montmartre townhouse) is not a hotel like any other. It is an exceptional mansion sheltering five suites all offering luxurious services, with contemporary design in a unique environment.
Totally atypical and nested in a secret passage, the hotel is surrounded by an unusual and luxuriant garden designed by Louis Bénech (Designer of the “Jardin des Tuileries”).


This townhouse will offer you something no other hotel will. Suites like top of the range apartments in which you will feel at home or even better.
Perfect for intimacy, calm and well being.
