I couldn’t be more excited for the new year and  in the spirit of moving forward with new beginnings, it’s the perfect time to reflect back on the last 12 months. 2011 was a great year both for me and for So Haute and it sure flew by fast! These were some of the highlights…

One of the goals I set for 2011 was to start dabbling in television so I was THRILLED to appear on HGTV on a new show called My Favorite Place where I gave viewers a tour of my home. I was featured alongside Jonathan Adler and Jill Zarin…A total pinch me moment! I appeared in other TV segments as well but HGTV was definitely a highlight!

I also interviewed a number of designers whose work I admire greatly including Robert Couturier (above), Kristen Panitch, Hillary Thomas and more…

Ethnic textiles at the New York International Gift Fair

I did lots of scouting for the best in design to showcase here on So Haute…

I  garnered press coverage in some amazing publications like Better Homes & Gardens, Money magazine, The Nest, ElleDecor.com,  Singapore’s Home & Design (above), Apartment Therapy and more


And even penned an article for the New York Observer’s home edition…


Nathan Turner and his design director Carrie Kravetz – the subject of our very first ‘Meet the Assistant’!

I also introduced a new feature on the blog called Meet the Assistant which received an overwhelmingly positive response…

I caught up with blogger buddies…

And met some awesome new ones

All in all it was a great year and I can’t thank you enough for following along on my design adventures! There’s lots more to come in 2012!!
