Shaken, Not Stirred.

Lately we’ve been bringing back the sacred cocktail hour ritual at my house (did it ever leave?) and what better cocktail with which to unwind than the classic martini. There’s something sexy about a martini glass: the way it’s shaped, the way one’s hand gracefully grasps it—-well, it’s downright glamorous. On Madison decided to assemble the perfect accoutrement for making the perfect martini and with Father’s Day just around the corner, we think Dad would love mixing up his martinis in style. And if you’re in search of the perfect Martini recipe follow our Refreshments board on Pinterest where we feature drink ideas, recipes, & inspiration. Cheers!

Korban Krazy

Sex, romance and fantasy. Hmm, that sounds pretty racy, but those are the elements that Ryan Korban uses to great effect in both his residential and commercial projects as chronicled in his new book “Luxury Defined.” I mean a man who loves fur, zebra skins, and graphic black and white as much as I do can’t be all bad.

Korbin and his bff Davinia Wang were the brainchildren behind Edon Manor, an accessories shop in Tribeca, whose style could be summed up as English library gone wild! It attracted so much attention that designer Alexander Wang came calling and tapped Mr. Korbin to design his New York flagship store. I mean a black fox fur hammock holding court in the middle of the store! Sex, romance and fantasy, indeed.

Here are some of our fave images.
