We know you love Zara for their affordable fast-fashion but now there’s another reason to shop there: home goods. Last week I attended the launch party for Zara Home in the US and was wowed by the sleek, crisp bedding and chic collection of home goods. Take a peek at the website, of which online shopping launches today, and you’ll see a great selection of items for the bedroom, living, bathroom and kitchen, plus additional knick-knacks and goods you can use to decorate your dwelling space. Plus, there are additional home comforts, like cozy robes and slippers – hey, it is Zara...  Read More..

Living in a small space (pretty much every apartment in New York City) forces you to find ways to get ‘space creative’ when it comes to your home. And for accessory addicts, like moi, you need a special place to store all those shoes and bags. Unless you’re a gazillionaire and can afford a penthouse apartment with a huge walk-in closet, here’s an alternate storage option: the Lilly Pulitzer Home “Rousseau” Ottoman. Doubling as a chic seat AND storage space, this handcrafted, quilted ottoman features a hinged lid with 16 internal pockets for shoes, plus a...  Read More..

Here’s a look at virtually everything you’ll find in Missoni X Target. This collection has A LOT to offer. Whatever you’re into (fashion, home, accessories, etc.), you’ll find something you love. We’ve pretty much got our eye on everything, from the women’s apparel and shoes, to the bags, scarves and even girl’s and baby clothing, plus that sweater for the man, home goods (how cool is it to dine on Missoni plates and wrap yourself in a Missoni throw?), the bike and, if we didn’t live in New York City and had more space – the outdoor sectional....  Read More..

If you follow What’s Haute then you know that one of our favorite stores is Zara. The fast-fashion retailer is the best place to find on-trend pieces along with classics and at pretty affordable prices. We’re in Zara just about every week, coming out with new pairs of pants, blazers, dresses, shoes, scarves and all sorts of other amazing stuff! But one thing we don’t get to buy is home goods, and Zara sells them – everywhere but the U.S. Zara Home is available throughout Europe and if you’re a fan of Zara’s clothes, chances are you’ll love their home goods...  Read More..

Chalk this up as a “why didn’t we think of that?” find. The Coil Lamp by designer Craighton Berman takes the most basic of ideas and turns it into a DIY home treasure. It’s basically an extension cord, Plexiglass base and a bulb. Buy the cord of your choice, wrap it around the base and voila! – you’ve got a lamp you designed yourself! (Without a messy cord to trip over.) Berman says, “The first step is to pour yourself a drink. You will complete your Coil Lamp in the time it takes you to finish that beverage.” It doesn’t get any better than that. $79,...  Read More..
