These are a few photos of Chloe Sevigny’s house in New York City that were published by House and Garden and Apartamento. I like that mix of chic shabbiness, unexpected pieces, girls’ wardrobe chaos and vintage, interesting corners. Since a house represents ourselves, probably we should all come out having something like Chloe Sevigny’s eclectic mix, and not matchy matchy flats that often look like they’ve never been experienced by anyone.

Ecco le foto della casa di New York di Chloe Sevigny, pubblicate da House and Garden e Apartamento. Quel misto di shabbiness, pezzi inaspettati, caos da guardaroba di ragazze e angoli vintage e chic donano a questo appartamento una luce parecchio interessante. Poiche’ una casa rappresenta noi stessi probabilmente dovremmo tutti finire per abitare in un eclectic mix come Chloe Sevigny, e di certo non in qualche appartamento con ogni dettaglio progettato, che hanno spesso l’aria di non esser mai stati il luogo dell’esperienza di nessuno.

Details Spotting: I guess that among Chloe’s hats hanging in the wardrobe there’s that hat, the bunny ears from Gummo! In the photo below I could also notice a photo of another muse, Edie Sedgwick: I wonder if Chloe was inspired by her when she had the blond and short pixie haircut.

Details Spotting: Avete notato tra i vari cappelli di Chloe nell’armadio cosa c’e’? Penso proprio che quello che mi pare di vedere sia quel famoso cappello rosa con le orecchie da coniglio dal film Gummo! Nella foto sotto si nota anche una foto di Edie Sedgwick: mi chiedo se Chloe si fosse ispirata a lei quando portava i capelli biondi e corti in stile pixie.

A little report of what I’ve seen this morning. I’m planning an adventurous escape followed by a roadtrip to Coachella with these two bunnies and the beaver because I don’t like at all to see them in cages. On the other side, I love to see that pink little Smeg washing machine caged in the store, probably because I’ll never be able to afford one (or a flat where to place one..), so I just delight myself staring at it and dreaming of my little kitchen with my pink little Smeg washing machine (note, the store guy today invited me to get in  to take a better photo.. He must have noticed me staring at the fridge a few times from the street..)

Un piccolo report di quello che ho visto questa mattina. Sto pianificando una fuga rocambolesca seguita da un viaggio on the road verso Coachella con questi due conigli nani e il beaver perche’ non mi piace proprio vederli in gabbia. Invece, amo vedere quella piccola lavatrice rosa della Smeg ingabbiata nel negozio, perche’ probabilmente non potro’ mai permettermene una (o un appartamento dove piazzarla..), quindi mi trastullo semplicemente guardandola e sognando la mia piccola graziosa cucina con la mia piccola lavatrice Smeg rosa (nda, il tizio del negozio oggi mi ha invitata a entrare per fare meglio la foto.. Deve avermi notato li’ ferma qualche volta a fissare il frigo al di la’ della vetrina…)

A So-Called Valentine’s Day Post

..I know! Some of you love it, some others just hate it.. What shall you do on Valentine’s day? Some love to get furtively in their lover’s flat, and stuff their bedroom with rose petals-soft animals-chocolate-lingerie, some others don’t like at all this kind of stuff and these days avoid everything that has vaguely the shape of a flower, the red colour or the smell of chocolate.. Some others take it really seriously, and buy their girlfriend/boyfriend a trip somewhere very expensive (where supposivley their love will grow even more through pamperings and pina coladas), some others when reminded of the day just answer “What??” with a you-are-absolutely-out-of-topic look.. And so, you know what? To make all of you happy I’ll just post an incredible amount of things that you could buy for you or someone else, that could be appreciated on Valentine’s day, but also on any other day of the year. That you would use in a love day, but also not (come on, we wear lingerie every day of the year [you do, right?], and we eat chocolate more often when feeling down than in a Jacuzzi surrounded of palms and birds singing [ok, I’m exagerating]).. So, everyone alright with this? Hope so. Because I looked for these things for you with all my love, and it’s all that matters.

.. Lo so! Alcuni di voi lo amano, altri lo odiano.. Che si deve fare a San Valentino? Alcuni amano entrare furtivamente nell’appartamento dell’amata/o e riempirgli la stanza di petali di rose- peluche – cioccolato – lingerie, altri non amano per niente questo tipo di manifestazioni e durante questi giorni non fanno altro che evitare tutto cio’ che ha la forma vagamente simile a quella di un fiore, il colore rosso e il profumo del cioccolato.. Alcuni altri la prendono davvero seriamente, e comprano al/la loro ragazzo/a un viaggio molto costoso in qualche posto esotico (dove in teoria il loro amore crescera’ ancora di piu’ tra i trattamenti della spa e i pina colada..).. Alcuni altri quando gli si ricorda che giorno e’ rispondono solo “Cosa?!?” con quella faccia da “..Che-accidenti-stai-dicendo?!”.. E quindi sapete cosa? Per farvi tutti felici pubblichero’ semplicemente un incredibile quantita’ di cose che potreste comprare per voi o qualcun altro, che potrebbero essere apprezzate a San Valentino o in qualsiasi altro giorno dell’anno. Che potreste usare in un giorno dedicato all’amore, ma anche no (voglio dire, la biancheria intima ce la mettiamo tutti i giorni dell’anno, giusto? [lo fate, vero?], e mangiamo cioccolato piu’ spesso quando siamo tristi che di quando ci troviamo in una Jacuzzi circondata da palme e uccellini che cantano [ok, sto esagerando].. Dunque, vi ho messo tutti d’accordo ora? Spero di si’. Anche perche’ ho cercato tutte queste cose per voi con tutto il mio amore, che alla fine e’ quello che davvero conta.

I found on xoJane this beautiful photo shoot of Courtney Love’s townhouse in NYC. Not only this is a wonderful house, finely painted and decorated, but I felt kind of emotional looking throught the objects of her own private life. It’s like, do you remember that book, Post Secret? Looking at these photos I had the feeling of taking a sneak peek through someone else’s past and present, at the people that shared places with them, and the simple taste for what’s beautiful, or unexpected, to furnish a house.

Ho trovato su xoJane questo bellissimo servizio di foto della casa newyorkese di Courtney Love. Non solo e’ un posto da sogno, decorato e dipinto con splendido gusto, ma mi sono quasi emozionata nel guardare tra gli oggetti della sua vita privata. E’ un po’ come quel libro, Post Secret. Guardando queste foto ho avuto quella sensazione di quando si da’ un’occhiata di nascosto al passato e al presente di qualcuno, alle persone che hanno condiviso quei posti con loro, e la semplice passione per cio’ che e’ bello, o inaspettato, per arredare una casa.

Above: A Damien Hirst on the wall, a photo of Kurt and Frances Bean, and a needlepoint blanket that reads “I did survive”.

Above, Courtney’s collection of vintage cake toppers.. Can you spot which one is from Kurt and Courtney’s wedding?

I’d like to close this post with an image from Post Secret, sometimes these hidden confessions hit you with such a strong unexpected beauty.

Vorrei chiudere il post con un’immagine tratta da Post Secret. A volte queste confessioni segrete ti colpiscono con forza con la loro bellezza inaspettata.

I’m so enjoying this fashion trend of dancy videos I hope it will go on over the year to come and we’ll see all the designers and models turning into their dancy-selves.
