...When I was seven and learning to read, I remember confusing the word "angle" for "angel." I was much relieved when my aunt confessed that when she was seven and saw "angle parking" outside of her church, she thought it was sacrilege that her father would park his Oldsmobile in spots reserved for angels. In truth, I don't stumble over angels anymore. I think they are alive and well and parked in people's ears.

And we still get to enjoy the much-anticipated Junior Parents Brunch...
...anyone can do luxury. Haute femme, however, requires a more irreverent touch. It is as much about what is omitted as what is included. Recent hotels that echo the gospel include Jonathan Adler's Parker Palm Springs, styled to resemble the rambling estate of a madcap aunt, and Christian Lacroix's Htel du Petit Moulin in Paris, with suites decked out in couture illustrations and a wild mlange of texture and color. What all these disparate projects have in common is an aversion to the white-box mentality. "I like white, and you need neutral things," says Wearstler...
