Oh, How I Love Preston Bailey!



I don't mean to make Mr TBS jealous but there is yet another man in my life (siiiiigggghhhh....it's tough but someone has to do it!).  I've been fascinated by this gentleman since seeing him on an episode of Oprah.  His eye is the best.  His style is impeccable. He can turn the most drab space into an interior pop!

Can you say "Preston Bailey"?

The New York Times ran a story last week about Mr Bailey and his latest book on opulent entertaining. Proving that the devil is certainly in the details, a collection of photos highlighted some of Mr Bailey's tips that lend to a dynamic entertaining experience for you and your guests.  Though there are a couple of exceptions, what I LOVED most is that the majority of the recommendations (LOVE those Thomas Paul napkins) are budget-friendly. Music to my ears.

Who are YOUR style icons?

  3. Oh yes, I Love Preston Bailey too. I saw a special on Lisa Raye McCoy's wedding. He designed the entire affair. It was simply marvelous. I think he's great.

  6. I love Preston Bailey because every event that he creates,he adds a part of his Panamanian heritage along with that of his clients. Have you heard of this man,Andre Wells? His events are also equally spectacular! He's based in the D.C. Area.
