I love Bill Cunningham, I do...

there are so many reasons for my affection, but here is one more.

Rina Matea Trunk Show at Henri Bendel: January 17 & 18, 2009

I'm presenting my millinery collection at Henri Bendel this weekend. I hope you can make it.

New Year, New Dolls

Some new dolls for the new year...

Introducing Soline, with her black bob and green eyes, and the sweetest clothes -- a pink cami with matching shorts, a lace-edged purple-dotted skirt, and the prettiest green coat. And leather ballet slippers, of course. She currently lives in jan & äya, located at 99 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

And here is Capucine, with her brown bob and brown eyes -- fashionable in her blue-dotted cami and shorts, light denim skirt, and lovely blue fern coat. Yes, also in ballet slippers.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! I spent the last days of 2008 in the most beautiful place - and I resolve to visit again and again. Sending my warmest wishes for a happy, peaceful, and prosperous 2009!

Yay, Antony!

Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm buried under hats and doll-parts. Soon, I'll be attempting another escape from under the pile to post pictures of what I've been up to and to invite all of you to come out to Bendel's in a few weeks to check out my millinery offerings.

In the meantime, I'm completely happy because I got my first Christmas gift -- tickets to the Antony and the Johnsons show at Town Hall this February. I AM SO HAPPPPEEEEE!!!
