"'Hey Jer!”
Designer and Style Icon
One of my favorite designers who inspires not only my personal style but also my love for antique, vintage furniture and design is Jeremiah Brent.
His sophisticated take on warm vintage designs create whimsy, while keeping a space clean and open with soft lines that evoke elegance and robust character. He can mix and match structure with romance and softness with intrigue. He keeps me wondering what’s around the next corner and wherever did he source his amazing rare vintage finds?
Together him and Nate Berkus create a fantasy world that I can only one daydream of living in. Together with their beautiful family and home, I one day aspire to have a curated life that is also filled with such beauty and surrounded by such love.

Ode to Carrie Bradshaw
As the spring showers began to pour, I started to wonder, will all the these emotional April showers bring calming May flowers? Are we going through the hard stuff so we can make it to the good? Are we washing away our pain hoping that something good will grow from it?
As this rainy spring weather has forced me to stay inside and do some spring cleaning I have been emptying out my closet and filling bags with clothes to donate. Items I bought during 2020, endless collections of sweatpants and sweatshirts, when being inside was the only thing to do. So I decided it was time to clean out the fits that weren’t serving me and really take stock of who I am now and what my personal style will be moving forward into the next phase of life.
What has changed in me and how much has my wardrobe served as a refection of that change? If I no longer was stuck in the comfy phase, what phase was I entering?
I am yearning for simplicity and key pieces that allow me to get dressed more easily without feeling over whelmed by the amount of accessories and too many pairs of shoes, that I never end up choosing to wear. These days I am choosing chic comfort over flashy designer goods and patterns.
So I called my friends at The RealReal to help me pickup and execute this spring cleaning. 31 items of luxury designer goods and over 40 pieces from my more impulsive buys sprees. As soon as they were out the door I started to feel lighter and more free.
I was weeding out the things that weren’t serving a purpose in my life and I was finally feeling a sense of relief and possibility. Are we taking the time to weed our gardens and make room for future flowers? And Just like that the Magnolia tree I planted a year ago began to blossom with its first flower.

Lights Up on The Row
The newly renovated boutique in Paris, France welcomes you to experience one’s profound and fathomless longing for a sense of architectural and interior design euphoria. While you deeply exhale a breath of harmony misted with simple design and an almost umami-esch sensory journey, The Row welcomes you into their warm and welcoming home on the Rue du Mont Thabor. The luxury fashion brand from style icons Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen has been whispering in pianissimo for years but has now evolved its cult like audience as they begin to reach a broader yet still sophisticated customer. This minimally styled but perfectly curated salon is simple and impressive while using natural materials and luxurious fabrications they have built the perfect stage to showcase their star and Prima Dona, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection.
While making your way through the paradisiacal boutique you are encouraged to listen and appreciate the language and story of each garment. As you take in the concerto of exquisite fabrics and notions combined with expert tailoring and draping each garment feels like a warm embrace on your form as you stand contrapposto in the dressing room revealing your newest evolution of self. This sense of negative space and purposeful focus on details has become the popular calling card of this quiet luxury powerhouse.
Apart from their clothing and their always elusive personas the Olsen Twin’s style and taste has now elevated far beyond our wardrobes and has leisurely wandered its way into our home decor and lifestyle spaces. The Row has curated a voice that is now speaking to its customer through versus of sonnets and poetry and not simply fabrics. With an online partnerships with Desert Vintage and the sourcing of rare and unique art on their social media The Row has opened my perspectives of taste and style and allowed me to follow even more blindly into their oversized and eccentric universe. I have even stared streaming their monthly Spotify playlist while I work from home. It is opening my eyes to a whole new world of music and I appreciate the new experiences I am having in my listening sessions.
One furniture piece in particular caught my attention, a trip-pod like standing lamp. Heavy. Robust. Delicate yet determined, this metal art ignited a desire to discover and I quickly fell down the Mary-Kate and Ashley tastemaker rabbit hole to learn more about this stylish detail. I yearned to know everything about this lamp, its creator and how I was going to obtain it for my own home. It was after I discovered its origin and history that I really began to appreciate the unmatched detail and eye for balanced design and beauty that these twin flame designers really have honed in on.
This wrought iron metal work lamp is a piece of art designed by Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti, circa 1936, whose works go at auction in the hundreds of thousands. This Lamp in particular is listed online from a previously won auction at $250,000 in value.(Needless to say, the reality of having this lamp in my home quickly evaporated and instead I continue to add more “realistic” item to the my already ever so large The Row wishlist.)
Maybe one day I will have the chance to own something so unique and special, yet just like so many people who may simply walk by this lamp without the knowledge that it may likely be one of the most valuable pieces that lives in this boutique in Paris is true to The Row’s quietly hushed luxury esthetic. I have heard tell of a few Piscacco’s and even a secret art gallery that lives on the top floors of the New York and Paris Boutiques for its VIP customers and Super Star Clients. I hope to one day be invited to enjoy the splendors that are contained in The Row’s private galleries around the world.
I have been a fan of The Row since I discovered their amazing denim collection in 2019 while my friend Cesar was working at a boutique in Austin that carried the brand. I have since replaced all my jeans exclusively with their perfectly cut denim jeans. These high priced, yet very high quality Italian and Japanese made Denim Jeans have easily won me over to the “darkside” of quiet luxury. The feel and touch are unmatched and the relationship I have with the clothing no longer all about external recognition of branding but my personal relationship with the garments connection to my skin. The way the materials brush up and caress my body gently while I move throughout the day is a feeling that exemplifies the meaning of luxury. I will continue to covet The Row and bring new pieces into my collection when they will be worn and lived in for the rest of my life.
Now you can find very similar styles of this lamp at Zara Home and have also started to pop up all over the design world lame mans stores such as Home-Goods and Target. I opted to go on a vintage store hunt and found something that channeled the same nature of design but was a unique and eye catching piece for my home. My Whippet Willow now uses the lamp light as her personal spotlight for lounging. Maybe one day soon we will go to the Paris store and until then the New York location is my home-away from home. Stay tuned for my adventures in NYC and more about The Row.
