Real Housewife Bethenny, just hanging out with the girlsEven though last night's The Real Housewives of New York City premiere did not leave me bowled over with style inspiration, I did spot one pretty thing amongst the coffee talk.
I don't know if it was the blue chain embroidery on Bethenny's bed linens or the Greek-key hem of her dress, but either way I am suddenly yearning for a crisp new duvet cover for Spring. (If anyone knows the manufacturer of the pattern, please share). In the meantime I have found some tempting options.
"Fiorentina" from Matouk is a simplified, graphic chain.
At a slightly lower thread-count, Williams Sonoma Home's Greek Key duvet is the more affordable option.For a witty recap of the show we love to hate (to love) be sure to check out the Scented Glossy Magazines unofficial "Real Housewives" fansite.

Not crazy about the show but I do love the white dress with blue hem. I also got caught up in bravo's matchmaker show last night. did I miss something? did the world go madd???
Brilliant - you are one observant chickateeta!
I'm impressed
Good eye.
Darn...I missed the show! I forgot it was on!
Ronda, over at "All the best" posted about some linens like these....
Real, perhaps another "word" should be used.
They look like dream housewives to me!
I don't remember this scene--maybe I blacked out? Pretty pretty (the Greek key, not me).

Agreed--nothing "real" about these nut jobs. I am addicted though.
SGM--I cheated. This is a clip from that "meet the housewives" teaser show they did last month. I think the full scene will be part of next weeks episode. I should have known better than to try and pull one over on you.
Isn't there a catalog with sort of an Austrian sounding name -- Sweitzer or something -- that has the linens like these, often seen on Miles Redd beds?

Schweitzer has beautiful linens. Very tempting.
Brilliant Asylum, I have to say... your comments about the Real Housewives over on SGM's blog are killing me!! So damn hilarious (and dead on, too). Your comment about Ramona's side barrette a la Chrissy from Three's Company almost made me fall out of my chair. You gals really make my day. Thank you, thank you.
PS - Love your blog. I always look forward to your thoughtful and beautiful posts.
Check out Leontine Linens. I think they do it!

Lovely bedding, and great alternative with the WS collection. I haven't watched the show yet, but with all the buzz I guess I ought to catch up!!
Thanks Michelle. I am a little too obsessed with this show. It's a trashy, train-wreck and I cannot turn away. I am glad that SGM gives me a place to vent every Wednesday morning.
Hazel, the Leontine borders are nothing short of incredible. I want every single thing from their collection.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the show too. Do all housewives have generally bad taste?
And did anyone else recognize Bethenny as a former contestant on Martha Stewart: The Apprentice??? I didn't hear any mention of that.
I love the chain like effect on the pillow cases. Very impressed by that.
