NANTUCKET
JUNE 2009
Kate Brosnan kindly had me back on PLUM in Nantucket to chat about my upcoming work with the brand. Despite the brutal weather, we managed to have yet another fantastic conversation. It’s always a pleasure to chat with Kate and I hope she really does travel with me sometime soon. (Try not to judge the outfit choice – clearly a stylist is needed for future interviews.)
MIDDLE ENGLAND
JULY 21st
This wonderful abode was mine for a night last week. Its soothing blue and white palette kept me nice and snug when the weather turned typically English (rain). The sheets were some of the softest I’ve ever slept in.
Delicate and Feminine
LAKE WINDERMERE
JULY 24th
This pristine palace of a room has two sets of iron framed windows (not shown, sadly) that deliver spectacular views along Lake Windermere and over the home’s formal gardens.
So Fresh and So Clean
LONDON
July 30
This darling aqua abode had me at hello. Its corner location meant lots windows and sometimes, when London dared to be different, sunlight too.
As if all my turquoise dreams came true at once
JULY 2009
ALL OF ENGLAND
Right now I’m in England working on my third book, ENGLISH HIDEAWAYS, to be published by Rizzoli as the third installment of my growing Hideaways collection.
Serioulsy charming English Cottages in the Cotswolds
I’ve enlisted the talent (and go-for-it gusto) of acclaimed photographer Tim Clinch – a Brit who has also vowed to introduce me to all the finest trimmings his native land has to offer: fish n’ chips, a pint of Harveys, a proper curry, pork pies and cornish clotted cream. I promise to update with all sorts of photos of me eating hideously unhealthy things though also various scenic shots that will hopefully tease the idea of England sojourns. I’m afraid, what I will most certainly not do, is list the names of all the hotels since they’re a closely guarded secret. After all, I much prefer you buy the book!
