Tory Burch's luxe, lacquered and mirrored bar puts me in the mood for a
Harvey Wallbanger on the rocks and a little
Chuck Mangione playing on the hi-fi. (Photograph from

What better to add to the fantasy than lighting a few of Burch's own votives, made of bamboo extract, fresh citrus, water jasmine, dewy greens, osmanthus, sandalwood, white musk and amber.
For a similar vibe at a fraction of the price, try
West Elm's Red Currant candle. I have this one myself and it smells divine (at $6.00).

Thanks for sharing this pic, its fabulous! I'm still yet to get my hands on a copy of that book..
ReplyDeleteRed currant...that sounds intriguing. I must check it out.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant alternative from West Elm. I'm so glad Bowles decided to include Burch's home in the book. I flip to it all the time :)
ReplyDeleteI got the Vogue book as a "Thanksgiving gift" and I love it. I missed many of the spreads in Vogue the first time around, so I am really enjoying reading it.
ReplyDeleteI adore that bar. Heck, I love her whole apartment! But I am glad they included this shot in the book since it was not in the original article.
ReplyDeleteWe're treated, once again, to your trademark evocative narrative. A Harvey Wallbanger? And Chuck on the Hi-Fi? Oh, man - so fine. (BTW, Chuck's website is...um...really something.) And I must say, the VOGUE book IS such divine indulgence.
ReplyDeleteI love that bar! What a great color! I actually saw those votive holders at West Elm recently. They are really cute. I didn't see any red currant candles but the ones from Votivo smell amazing. The first time I smelled them was at Mayle on Elizabeth Street. They always remind me of that cute little shop!
ReplyDeleteDM, Chuck Mangione is the shizzz. Everyone needs to take a stroll through Central Park with "Feels So Good" on the ipod at least once before they die.
ReplyDeleteHB, Votivo's currant is great--and I love the little glass they come in. I have never been to Mayle. Will need to check that out on my visit--which is in a few days actually!
POC--I remember seeing Burch's apartment on your blog and loved it. I am glad to have it in book form too (with a bonus pic).
I've always wanted to have a bar. Now that I'm a huge drinker or anything, but it just seems like such a classy thing to have.
ReplyDeletei Love lacquer - especially in Red. I have the book in my shopping list at Amazon, I must order it. Thank you for sharing. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow! Now that's red! You've painted the perfect picture, too, by adding in the votives.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the West Elm votive holder better! Notice the "cone" light in the bar. I'm on a jag.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Blandings, I thought of you when I saw that light fixture!
ReplyDeleteLove this photo...love the book! I'll join you!!
