Holiday delights

Joanna Buchanan is known for her luxury home-décor goods, designed in her Wilton studio and sold around the world. Now, she offers WAG a glimpse into her creative process.

Terrain, part of a stylish Westport family

Terrain is a “sister store” to Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, so you know there’s something aesthetically pleasing – and eco-minded – going on here. Westport’s lucky enough to have these three URBN siblings within its borders, and we spotlight what’s on offer at Terrain, the “baby,” these days.

Jewelry on the edge

Jewelry designers are often called jewelry artists – and an exhibition opening this month at the Katonah Museum of Art shows just why. We offer a sneak peek of the highly anticipated “Outrageous Ornament: Extreme Jewelry in the 21st Century,” curated by Jane Adlin, former curator of modern and contemporary design at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Styling a new act

Flipping Fur, where fur coats are repurposed into new fashions, is the latest creative effort from Cassandra Saulter, a Cold Spring artist who spent 40 years working behind the scenes in film and television.

Jewelry’s power

The Metropolitan Museum of Art will take a probing look at jewelry, from what it is to why we wear it, in “Jewelry: The Body Transformed.” The expansive exhibition will open Nov. 12.

Hats off to Bill

Hats off to Bill

Famed fashion photographer Bill Cunningham was as noted for his candid shots as for the trusty bike that he rode to capture his subjects. His groundbreaking street photography (and his lifetime of work) is now being honored through an exhibition at the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library. Of course, his bike is on display.

A sporting paradise – and more

A 13-acre equestrian paradise on the Ridgefield/South Salem border not only caters to those with a love of horses but also those with a love of gracious living, all centered around a meticulously updated 1937 farmhouse.

These magic moments…

Vintage treasures from the likes of Harry Houdini are celebrated in “Summer of Magic: Treasures from the David Copperfield Collection” at the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library in Manhattan.

Still entertaining

Mark Kramer, the man behind Susan Lawrence in Chappaqua, shared holiday entertaining ideas with us in 2011. Today, he’s launched a new Susan Lawrence website and expanded its menus, draws on his own Putnam County garden for ingredients and is working on a cookbook. All the while, he’s also feeding his passion for classical music.

The Tiffany story, in full

The cachet of owning tabletop or decorative goods by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) remains to this day. Lyndhurst is exploring the decorative-arts legend, including his ties to Irvington, with “Becoming Tiffany: From Hudson Valley Painter to Gilded Age Tastemaker,” through Sept. 24.

A worldly approach

New York-based interior designer and author Markham Roberts participated in the Bruce Museum’s “Art of Design” panel in Greenwich. We caught up with him to hear more, particularly about his high-profile revamp of the late Oscar de la Renta’s Tortuga Bay Hotel.
