My childhood friend, Helene

Morning Mist Top in Anthropologie


I have a wonderful childhood friend  whom I have always admired, Helene Florence.  Her sense of natural style in fashion and decorating has been evident since we were children.  She lives in a gorgeous  home near the French Quarter in the deepest of southern states, 
Louisiana, 
and in one of the most romantic and eclectic of cities, 
New Orleans.  
Recently, one of her many blouse creations, has been picked up by the national retailer, Anthropologie.  She frequently uses Japanese obi fabric  to stylize her pieces.  Her look is carefree, whimsical, and romantic.  

Helene has also designed a beautiful and charming chair. Anthropologie is currently  exhibiting it at a showcase at Rockefeller Center (50 Rockefeller Plaza). If you happen to be in NYC any time soon, you can stop by and see this wonderful exhibit, inspired by artists from New Orleans.   The name of the exhibit is


The exhibit will be on display through March 21st.
Anthropologie has included nine artists from New Orleans who have created mixed media artwork,furniture, vintage jewelry, pillows, rugs, and other decor.
