From Vogue Living to Les Puces in Paris...

Here are a few lovely links and videos from around the world...

REMEMBERING MR DE LA RENTA
Carolyne Roehm's deeply moving tribute to Oscar de la Renta, her employer, mentor and friend for many, many years, is on her blog this week.
Of all the tributes floating around, this is not just one of the most interesting insights into Mr de la Renta's life and career, it's also one of the most beautifully written. (link)


CINEMATIC PARIS
Architectural Digest magazine has just posted a fascinating article online about American photographer Gail Albert Halaban, who has managed to capture glimpses, Rear Window–style, of life in apartments all over Paris for a new book Paris Views. But before you think it's intrusive, all the subjects knew and agreed to being photographed. The rooftop architecture is almost as intriguing as what's going on behind the balconies. Link or link


EXPLORING LES PUCES
When Susanna Salk and Timothy Corrigan went shopping at Les Puces in Paris, they were generous enough to share their experience (and tips) via a wonderful video by Quintessence, detailed on the blog here, or here—link 
(And don't miss the great insights into Timothy's French chateau, also on the Quintessence blog.)


NOSTALGIA REVISITED
Author Diane Dorrans Saeks details interior designer Jonathan Rachman's remarkable space for the Traditional Home Napa Showhouse on her Style Saloniste blog this week. 
Joanthan's highly original theme ‘Strait-Up English Colonial Tasting Room’, was inspired by the Straits of Malacca (hence the play on words), and his childhood growing up in Indonesia. It's a fantastic mix of cultures, motifs and period pieces from Singapore, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as the Dutch, British and Portuguese trade years, all wrapped up in a classic colonial vibe. 

Just beautiful. (link)
