In the premier issue we are inspired by still life - the mood, the dramatic light and the beauty of shape that embodies the season of autumn. While we have compiled pieces of fall in this issue, we will be keeping up with the season on the Rose & Ivy blog, so please be sure to stop by. Finally, I would love to hear from you, so please feel free to contact me at alison@roseandivyjournal.com. Cheers to an elegant fall season! Best Regards,

THE MOOD
The fall season is all about drama through textures, lighting and vignettes. As summer days are replaced with fall’s moody skies, we look to autumn for inspiration. Saturated shades, cocooning textures and an air of romantisim transports us through the season ahead.

ON THE VANITY
TATA HARPER In a day and age where everything is driven by technology, it is refreshing to see a company that relies solely on the power of nature. Tata Harper embraces this philosophy on her sustainable farm in Vermont where she grows and formulates completely natural skincare remedies that have the ability to transform the skin with their high concentration of natural ingredients. Owning all parts of production ensures the purest ingredients are yielded from each harvest. On our vanity this month we are using a few of the newest items that are helping us turn-over a new leaf and remove all of our sins of summer (too much pool time and lounging seaside) and delivering the moisture and polish that we are craving for fall.

With a choice of three shades, our favorite is Very Vivacious, a warm coral that works as a great cheek bone contour and adds just enough color to impress. BEAUTIFYING FACE OIL (coming soon) Energetic Cell Therapy
This ultra lightweight oil, fragraced with a whisper of jasmine, practically melts into the skin. Key ingredients like Brown Algae Extract revitalizes tired skin while Camellia Oil moisturizes and delivers a surge of nutrients like beta-carotene and Vitamin A.

A MASTER’S TOUCH
LIPSTICK COLOR WHEEL
Charlotte Tilbury, the makeup master behind an infinite number of runway shows has launched a covetable makeup collection that perfectly captures her aesthetic. You are now just steps away from achieving a radiant complexion.
Charlotte Tilbury believes in the power of makeup. With
over twenty years behind the scenes, she has come to the forefront by launching a cosmetic line with the hopes of taking the guess work out of not only applying makeup but buying it. Her mantra is simple yet powerful, “give a woman the right makeup and she can conquer the world.” Tilbury has designed 10 color coded looks that are separated by color wardrobes and are tailored to moods and lifestyles. She has modeled each after the famous faces that she has had the pleasure of painting. There is the Golden Goddess inspired by Gisele and Kate Moss and the Dolce Vita which helps to achieve a glamorous look like that of Sophia Loren and Penelope Cruz. Some of the items in the line have already risen to cult status like the Multi-Miracle Glow, a do it all product that cleanses, acts as a mask and a balm all in one single jar. Also, Charlotte’s Magic Cream SPF 15 breathes new life into dry and dehydrated skin. The collection can be purchased online at Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom.com and CharlotteTilbury.com.

HOW TO CREATE AN ELEGANT PICNIC
LOCATION
Pick a sunny location that will allow you to soak in the last bit of the sun’s rays. Consider before sunset at the beach or on a grassy lawn.
SERVING
Forgo plastic serving pieces and utencils and incorporate actual plates and flatware. This takes the picnic idea of yesterday into a new level of sophistication.
SETTING
Even though you might be surrounded by nature that does not mean that flowers should be overlooked. Incorporate the landscape into a bouquet whether it be wildflowers like (chamomile or Queen Anne’s Lace) or the season’s last hydrangeas clipped from your own backyard.

FleurdeSEL Discovering France’s Best Kept Secret
S
alt has been used for centuries not only for enhancing the flavor of food but also for its medicinal properties. The world boasts a variety of salts including table, kosher, rock and flake but one of the most luxurious varieties is fleur de sel, which hales from the Brittany region of France. When it comes to salt, not all varieties are created equal. Fleur de sel, often referred to as the ‘caviar of salt’, is a particular variety where the century-old cultivation technique makes it unique and also very expensive. Today there are remarkably five salt works that are still in production from the 9th century. While the majority of the region including the coastal towns
of Noirmoutier and Carmague yield this variety, the salt harvested from Geurande is particularly desirable. The salt is harvested by hand in the late afternoon during the dry season which produces pure white salt, unlike some varieties that have a slight grey tinge also known as ‘sel gris’. The harvest is obtained by the farmers skimming the surface of the water with pans that are then left to dry in the open air. Eventually the crystals form together to resemble a flower, thus the translation being ‘salt flower’. This variety of salt is the perfect compliment to meat and fish and can add a great finishing touch to a sweet dessert.

TIPS FOR CREATING A FALL TABLE SETTING
LAYER
Just like dressing, adding different layers of texture create a high-impact tablescape. Reach for different materials in the same hue to create a dynamic setting.
TEXTURE
Start with the plate and build from there. If it is a more organic piece, incorporate linen or burlap materials. If the plate is more ornate or an antique, accentuate the setting with lace or a simple pattern.
THE EXTRAS
Create flower arrangements that echo the mood of the table. Here, blue and green Eryngium mirror the rustic and raw aesthetic of the linen tablecloth and plates.

ucked inside of a brownstone in the heart of Brooklyn Heights exists Rosanne Pugliese’s jewelry studio, a space that is as elegant as the hand-crafted pieces. Rosanne Pugliese had a storied career in fashion working in product development for Calvin Klein. It was there that she crafted her aesthetic for scultpural and minimal design that still delivered a beautiful impact. Inspired by her grandmother’s jewels, she began to follow her passion for jewelry by creating bespoke pieces out of her Brooklyn home. It was only time until clients and eventually retailers were quickly knocking on her door.
ROSE & IVY
To begin her creative processs she looks to film, design, interiors and intersting objects, she sites Diana Vreeland and Dianne Keaton as her muses. It is then that she combines jewels like tourmaline and quartz sourced from Brazil with gold that has been melded until she sees fit. The beauty in her pieces lies in the imperfections. Not each stone has to be flawless, but rather it is those unique touches that make her jewelery stand-out from the rest.
no. 76
Inside the Shop Roseanne Pugliese’s Brownstone Shop is as striking as her pieces. The space is anchored by a wall that features handmade blue and gold marbled wallpaper from Calico Wallpaper, a company based out of Redhook, Brooklyn. It was that wallpaper that served as the inspiration behind the entire shop desgined by Julia Mack Design. In addition to jewelry, the shop also curates a selection of objects and accessories including prints by Hugo Guiness, Monday’s Project Pottery and the niche French perfume line Arquiste. 77

culptor, architect, interior designer, furniture designer, curator, those are just some of the titles that HomeStories shop owners and husband and wife duo Paul and Sophie Yanacopoulos have superbly mastered. With a diverse background, he is from Britain, but is half French, she is Greek and Swedish, they have come to develop a design aesthetic that tempers the perfect equilibrium between organic design with sculpted nuances. In a world where everything is disposable their approach to design has a sustainable point of view. Each piece tells a story, whether through the artisan who crafted it or the distance it traveled to arrive in the shop in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Rose & Ivy sat down with both Paul and Sophie over a few espressos to discuss their curation process and the art of beautiful things.
Like all great love stories Paul and Sophie’s was one destined in the stars. He was working as a furniture designer for SCP, one of London’s most avant-garde companies at the time, while Sophie having studied interior design was working for a contemporary furniture store in Switzerland. They met at a trade show and the rest is history. Sophie, tired of the chrome, red and black leather familiar to Italian design craved warmth, charm and simplicity. It was not too long before they combined their talents and opened Atmosphere, a two-part store in Geneva, Switzerland dedicated to home and kitchen wares. They wanted to introduce to Switzerland, a country known for being pristine and perfect, to a new side of beauty, one that was low-tech and broke out of this idea of controlled perfection.
83
ROSE & IVY
After much success, but feeling rather burned out from running a business they pondered their next move. They eventually decided to part ways and move fifteen minutes outside of Geneva to a hybrid barn designed and built by Paul that would house them in additon to their showroom and studio. The barn was a bright and airy space, one that caught the eye of many European design magazines including Maison Franรงaise. But like many creatives, after the completion and media success of this venture they questioned, what is next? With their two children getting older, they wanted to expose them to life in a city once again. They pondered Zurich, Australia, Stockholm and the West Coast of the U.S, but nothing solidified until the idea of New York came to mind.
no. 84
It was not too long before they settled on the East Coast and opened their shop, HomeStories, in Brooklyn. Sophie equates moving to a new city like becoming a child all over again. Everything is new from the sites, sounds and culture, there is a world of discovery just waiting to unfold. Like anything that they have accomplished, they had a strong vision and purpose for the shop. They wanted to introduce New Yorkers to their philosophy of aquiring timeless items that will last forever and live many lives by focusing on quality and craftsmanship. Living in many cities, they have been exposed to different life philosophies, but the most shocking when arriving to America was the disposability of simple household items from serving pieces to a household broom.
“Beauty raises your energy and emotions but most importanty nourishes the soul” The shop features an array of designers including Paola Navone, Naoto Fukasawa and Brooklyn-based Tamar Mogendorff. When asked to name some upand-coming artisans they insist they are not big on names, since the product value really isn’t in who created it, but rather the energy that comes from the objects. There are many new projects on the horizon for this duo including exanding their design capabilities into home renovation and introducing a new line of products that are European designed but made in America. When asked to describe their new venture in a few words they said poetry, essentialness, quality and fundamentalism. Those are words that have us excited for what is next.
THOUGHTS ON BEAUTY At Rose & Ivy we are fixated on beauty and love discovering it through other creatives eyes. Here is how HomeStories perceives this little word called beauty. Paul sees beauty as a vibration and the lack of perfection. While Sophie finds beauty to be subjective. She knows that when she sees it that it can raise your energy and emotions, but most importantly it nourishes your soul. 85

This kitchen staple can also be incorporated into your skincare routine. The sugar crystals sloughoff dead skin cells (it also easily dissolves in water) leaving behind polished skin.
Sea Salt
A more abrasive option compared to a sugar-based scrub. Sea salt detoxifies the skin and aids in improving circulation. Ancient Greeks and Romans incorporated salt into their bathing routine to induce relaxation.

or those that are looking to peer inside of a modern day fairytale you might want to begin with Mimi Thorrison, the talent behind the wildly successful blog, Manger. Wife, mother to seven children, owner of fourteen dogs and kitchen aficianado one might pose the question what can’t she do. She possesses the savoir faire in the kitchen, the type of talent where a trip to the open-air market in MÊdoc gives way to a feast prepared from the heart and laced with the romanticism of the French countryside. This October, Thorrison introduces her first cookbook,
A Kitchen in France: A Year of Cooking in My Farmhouse, which includes both essays and recipes savored by her family and friends. Rose & Ivy got a sneak peak inside of the book (one that we know will be on our shelves for many years to come) and caught up with Mimi to discuss the art of cooking, her most memorable dish and what is on the horizon.

How did the time you spent in Paris influence your passion for delicious food? Well, I have been passionate about food ever since I was a child, thanks to my wonderful parents who shared the same passion. Food has always taken center stage in our lives. I grew up in Hong Kong and spent all my holidays in Paris & South of France with my family. Later in my life, when I lived in Paris full-time, I would say the beautiful restaurants, bistrots and the amazing atmosphere have always defined what I love most in food - a sense of share, of conviviality and good times.
What is the most memorable meal that you ever experienced? What made it so special? Definitely my wedding lunch banquet at ‘Le Grand Véfour’ in Paris. Oddur and I were surrounded by our dearest, eating the most amazing food, all day long! It was unforgettable!
Which season inspires your cooking the most? Autumn. It’s the most generous of all seasons, with all its golden warm hues. It’s the time of the year where we want to get ready for cozy slow-cooking.
So much of your blog is dedicated to story-telling where you draw the reader into the fairytale of life in Médoc and leave us inevitably inspired. What/who inspires you?
ROSE & IVY
I would say, the inner child in me is my main inspiration! I am surrounded by such interesting people and beautiful nature, I am always curious and enthusiastic!

You have mentioned that to your husband, Oddur ‘everything must look like a painting’ and indeed every photograph perfectly matches his dream. How do you bring your creative vision to life? Is it a quick process or something that takes time?
“There is no beauty without strangeness”
We live in an environment where we have the freedom to ‘create’ our lives, our vision, so whenever we shoot a scene, it’s all there.
How do you approach fall entertaining? Any tips or recipes that are essential for the season? Any slow-cooked meal in a large cocotte is good! All you have to do is prepare in advance. And candlesticks, lots of them - they create an instant romantic and timeless atmosphere.
What is next for you? You just purchased a (magical) château that will also serve as the backdrop for your next venture, a seasonal restaurant. Can you share any details of what is to come? We are right in the middle of it - it is so exciting. We are planning cooking workshops, where guests can stay in our little hotel and the restaurant is planned for next summer.
Since the premier issue of Rose & Ivy is greatly influenced by the beauty of still-life (the mood and the lighting) like that seen in your photographs how do you define beauty? There is no beauty without strangeness.
