LEAVE IT TO A TEXTILE DESIGNER. 

Think a busy rug and loud wallpaper can't cohabitate? Lisa Fine says think again. With the debut of this textile designer's new book this fall, Near and Far, we're revisiting her Paris abode for color inspo, and it's full of it.

ON THE AVENUE.

A friend, local Houstonian and client, Lyndsey Zorich, just opened up an (online!) shop, and it's spewing with inspiration. On The Avenue, there are several shops to peruse: the LIVE contains entertaining essentials, the WEAR will get your wardrobe fully equipped from blouses to earrings and the GIFT will be our go-to come holiday season.

Our personal favorite product on the site now are these denim placemats with floss stitching. Check it out! {image via The Avenue} 

BELLISSIMA.

In a deeply adored destination like the Amalfi Coast, the same couple of hotels start to become the mainstays. While Il Pelicano and Le Sireneuse will never be off the list of the most beautiful hotels and travel experiences, we love how the Santa Caterina completely immerses its guests in Italian tradition and history. Take a look at this feature and try not to be convinced it would rival today's top contendors. {image via The Socialite Family}
