Cannot help smiling as we scurry and hurry up 5thAve, bustling amid the tourists crowding the sidewalk and stopping to gawk, and OY look where you’re going! and still, it is Christmas, and beautiful, and fun. These are the lights at Saks, to an orchestral rendition of “There’s No Business Like Show Business” to accompany their gorgeous windows this year depicting “Theater of Dreams” @saks .

Love a Sunday lunch on a Friday with sublime hosts, good simple food, understated chic decor, and scintillating guests. Brava @mitacb @geraldblandinc

Beautiful table by the inimitable @mitacb and @geraldblandinc at home in Millbrook for a lively and lively lunch. They had art and design books stacked on the glass tabletop as part of the decor, and tall glass vases were topped with large vegetables. Was simple, elegant, and effective. .

Sending love and blessings to you all—friends real and Insta, and the Instas who become real, which is another blessing for many of us in Insta-world. On this day especially I am mindful also of the blessings in the real world, which for all its troubles is safer, healthier, wealthier and more educated than it has ever been. And yet there is still much work to do. So my prayer on this day is for each of us to find the work which is ours and to do it with joyful hearts. Amen.

Beautiful, simple elegance. .

Not that we need a reason to have a dog but this charismatic 8-year-old delivered the best I’ve heard, and to a crowd of some 600 (mostly) grown-ups at the @aspca lunch in NYC last week : “And for those of you who don’t have a dog, who do you blame the farts on?!” Brought the house down, I mean for like 5 minutes! (I wouldnt have wanted to follow him on the podium…) Three hundred cheers for dog advocate, “dog whisperer” , and ASPCA Kid of the Year Roman McConn, from Evans, Georgia. To learn more see wwe.aspca.org 2018 Humane Awards and thank you again @marina_killery What a wonderful event. @cipriani .

Swipe through to see the gorgeous new china designed by @alexsviewpoint made and hand painted in Portugal for @modaoperandi had its debut last night. Bravo Alex! Everybody loves Alex,btw, and no wonder he has a bazillion Instagram followers. He has a brilliant eye, an adorable personality, and a big and generous heart. The gold rimmed chargers! The wicker cachepot! The spectacular flowers are by @zezeflowers whom I also use myself. What a wonderful sense of color he has. Congratulations to all on a successful launch.

So when i left the library, SNOW had happened and was beautiful … and then a pain. Glad at any rate to be in New York though my heart breaks for my adopted home state of California, in my prayers this night and always.

Even the Beluga whales gave a standing ovation for Philanthropist of the Year Rex Fuqua! #npdatl See previous post for info ☺️
