Maybe it's a very chic Fifth Avenue bike rack ????

One last summer "accessoration" fling ...... at Amagansett Beach!!!!

I adore "art accessorations" and was especially enamored 
by the new "DeWoody"!!!!

Artist Peter Dayton,
inspired by 1950's "woodie wagons,"
created "car contact-paper" ....
to re-create this playful "beach buggy"
creative director and co-founder of 
a fabulous new website joining art & commerce, 
that mixes on-line shopping with bricks 'n mortar!!!

The car is divine ......
and I'm sure the new "art accessorations" at 
Grey Area's December pop-up shop  
will be fabulous too!!!!

"Accessorations" & art are everywhere in Chelsea!!!!

How 'bout this divine "lego condominium" on 22 Street!!!!
Who "accessorated" or "installed" it in this tree???
And who do you think lives here????

Its all part of my .......
"everwhere you look are great accessorations" 
philosophy of design!!!

What have you seen lately????

James Brett's Museum of Everything pop-up is extraordinary,
the "Store of Everything" is fantastic .......
but Selfridges "Windows of Everything" are the best!!!!!

Imagine devoting every window on Oxford Street, 
a gigantic city block in London,
spanning the front of one of the world's greatest stores,
to "everything" that can't be sold!!!!

This is a phenomenal design installation,
and I applaud the Selfridges team for being sooooo brave!!!

This is a major tribute to the arts ....
but I can't help wondering,
who in NYC would ever be this brave?????

This could be the summer's "oddest accessoration" ......

An Eye-Catching "Accessoration" Rolls Into Montauk!

IMG_5670.jpg
Not even sure which "accessoration" caught my eye ........
the Viking hat, the gigantic yellow basket, 
the two dogs ......

"Under-cover Accessoration" On Georgica Pond!!!!!

August 16, 2011 8:30 AM

IMG_0072.jpg
All summer, I have been starring across Georgica Pond
at this "color-blocked accessoration" .....
& wondering what it is!!!!!

I thought it might have been legos,
a strange movie set,
an art installation,
or maybe a unique architectural paint job!!!!!

But, yesterday I went to take a closer look
& found out ......
It's building insulation!!!!

Who would have thought .....
 a new category.....  
"under-cover accessorations"!!!

Isn't it divine!!!! 
And such a chic idea!!!!

Do you think anyone else realizes what it is?????

I find the most unusual things in France ......
and this is the most divine metro station in Paris!!!!

Sculptor Jean Michel Othoniel designed this station, 
and I think it looks like the most stunning
piece of  contemporary jewelry!!!!

And what better "accessoration"is there than jewelry!!!!

Sitting in a bike rack in East Hampton .....

IMG_5215.jpg
I don't exactly understand why KAWS'
 fiberglass sculpture .....
"Companion Passing Through" 
is "accessroating" the front of The Standard Hotel,
in the Meat Packing District!!!!!!

But, it is!!!!

Why is that???
