Yesterday I visited my dear friend Holly Chamness in her work room. She runs a custom drapery business catering to the top interior designers in California. She is one of the last artisan workrooms around, hand finishing draperies with the touch of the finest couture houses in Paris. She made all of the white linen drapes in my home and the gorgeous silk taffeta heart stoppers in my bedroom and dining room.

Yesterday, I popped in to see about luggage covers. An unusual request for sure. But I know Holly is the only one who understands. She pulled out her Gucci Rolls Royce luggage from the 80’s and showed me the exquisite covers made for it.

She insists I need leather corners.

With her signature auburn locks and southern charm, Holly is the epitome of grace. Her style is at once modern and old world.

Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest among other publications.

arrarahauLugh: i really enjoy your writing taste, very remarkable, don't quit and also keep penning due to the fact that it simply worth to look through it, impatient to view alot more of your current well written articles, cheers :)

Kendra: My hair is fine and now that the dry winter air is here - I have horrible static! What would help without weighing it down?

Jessica: Ashley, there are so many great hairstyles for short curly hair! First get a good haircut. Short hair needs to be more than just short. It needs a shape that enhances your features. And try to avoid a too round shape. Keep it a bit shorter on the sides. Embrace your natural texture and define your natural curls with a curl enhancing product that will tame frizz. Twist curls into place and if necessary use a small barrel curling iron to coax stubborn pieces into shape. Unless you intend on wearing your curls straightened, I recommend avoiding bangs with shorter curly styles.

Ashley: If someone has short, curly hair, are there any cute hairstyles can be accomplished?
