One of the best books I’ve read in a long time, and the movie is simply lovely as well.

The Golden Age?

We love it when art imitates, well, art!  As soon as we saw these photos of Valentino’s most recent Paris Fashion Week show, we were instantly reminded of our newest collection from Juliska: the Country Estate Delft Blue line. 

Rendered in shades of brilliant blue, it’s obvious that great creative minds do, in this case, think alike.  And while we can’t conceivably own a gorgeous Valentino dress, we think working some of Juliska’s newest pieces into our collection is infinitely more doable.

Nothing like a little mid-tennis smoke.

A dramatic master suite, to be sure.  Love the dark color palette and textural patterns.
