Slipper Sunday, Viceroy Santa Monica & Kelly Wearstler Home Decor Inspiration: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I’m obsessed with interior designer turned fashion designer, style icon, and walking-definition-of-chic Kelly Wearstler.  It’s no wonder, then, that my go-to hotel in Los Angeles is the imaculatly designed Viceroy Santa Monica. The property has all the bells and whistles we expect from Ms. Wearstler: geometric shapes, graphic prints, fun with mirrors and soothing luxury.  The overall effect is swanky Hollywood glamour, swapping out gilded grandeur for California cool.  I’m thrill to go back next week for Oscars’ weekend.

Get inspired to create a Kelly Wearstler-esque moment in your home. I’m going to start with the hanging plates idea. I’ll let you know how that goes J.

PS One more thing to love about Viceroy Santa Monica is location. You’re seconds away from the famous Santa Monica Beach (where I like to enjoy a cheesy California moment-in-the-sun bike ride – thanks to the lovely concierge James), Santa Monica Pier, colorful Venice Beach (prepare for a contact high!), and Coast (brunch there is must!).

Slipper Sunday, Face Mug from UnCommonGoods.com: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Louis and Clark. Starsky and Hutch. Peanut butter and jelly. Coral and white. Politicians and cheating. Some things pair so well together, how could you ever separate the two? That's why I'm crazy-e town mad for the Face Mug ($18) exclusively available at UnCommonGoods.com. Did you see me tweet it out last week, during the company press preview? Milk and cookies now happily unite in one clever serving item. In the morning, I enjoy green tea and a granola. At night, it's milk or early gray with a Glow Gluten Free cookies. How will you use your Face Mug?

Slipper Sunday, Jonathan Adler Kissing Giraffes Rug: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Lately, I’ve been contemplating all the wonderful blessings that a child brings into the world. I’ve also begun to realize how much charm, ease and good nature we tend to loose as we develop into “mature adults”. To whit, it’s important to walk through life with a childish sensibility that always makes you want to question everything, and be excited by the smallest of good fortune. And, with that little philosophical nugget, allow me to present the silliest and most happy rug imaginable - Kissing Giraffes by Jonathan Adler $750. Some might think it belongs in a children’s play room, but I’m convinced this colorful wool concoction should accessorize my office. How can you sulk about one phone call or project gone array, when you have kissing giraffes under your feet?

PS Remember to embrace the now, smile for the sake of smiling, and have a happy and healthy weekend!

Slipper Sunday, Dearfoams Ballet Slippers: PAMELA PEKERMAN

After a weekend of intense food poisoning coupling with back aches and a flu, there was nothing more soothing than finally slipping out of bed late in the afternoon and placing my feet in the best slippers ever! Ballet Slippers form Dearfoams have a cozy faux fur lining that doesn't make your feet sweat, like so many furry slippers. At $24, they make a great hosting gift or if you have a friend who just gave birth, she'll love them. Unlike most slippers I have worn in the past, these have a nice structured base and side support. Oh, and they are machine washable, which is always a nice plus for us busy gals. Now me and my Dearfoams slippers are going to sit by the fireplace and watch E!'s Screen Actors Guild Awards coverage, as my husband finishes baking his first apple pie. Being under the weather has some perks ;).

Slipper Sunday, John Derian Zodiac Decoupage Plate: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,


The first time I heard the name John Derian, I had just stepped into the Lulu Guinness boutique on Bleecker Street in NYC. Brie, the US public relations representative for Lulu Guinness at the time, was explaining the inspiration for the fall 2006 collection her client created with John Derian. Since then, I’ve been an admirer of Derian’s decoupage plates, lamps and other home décor accessories. In addition to his shop in New York and Massachusetts, there is a lovely assortment of his work on the seventh floor at Bergdrof Goodman. Currently, my wallet is itching to cough up $110 for this rectangular, decoupage plate which has a colorful representation of my zodiac sign, Capricorn. I want to hang it in my new office over a shinny white cabinet from IKEA. What do you think? Would you pay or pass on this piece?

Slipper Sunday, Michael Aram Enchanted Forest Side Table: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Home décor is a passion I share with my wonderful husband Steve. We can spend hours selecting the right tile, paint color, hardwood flooring and closet configuration – which is probably why it took over a year to designer our current house. Fortunately, when it comes to the accents – those wonderful home accessories that truly convert a house into a home – I’m usually on my own. And, so, I was on my own several weeks ago when I decided it was time to spend the remainder of our gift cards, courtesy of a few bridal shower returns.

A dash over to the Michael Aram section on 6th Floor at the Bloomindales on 59th Street, and I was hooked on the Enchanted Forest Side Table ($570). There is something soothing about Michael Aram’s work, and it’s not just that many of his collections have a biblical or nature connection. Despite being made of polished aluminum, I find the ease of the cuts and flow of this piece to be warm. As soon as I finish writing this post, I’m placing my order and shall share an update once it takes it rightful place in my living room.

PS In addition to being a day for spotlighting wonderful home accessories, Slipper Sunday also means it’s time to show me your slippers. Head over to my twitter account and twipic your cozy looks. I just shared my Kermit the Frog-inspired slipper-socks, and there’s no going back ;-). 

 

Have a bag-a-licious day!
