Copa Villa in U City

Located near U City's cute Ruth Park golf course is the perfect mid-century neighborhood....Copa Villa.  If you are looking for the street, it is Dalkeith Lane. I love the entrance sign and the funky houses.

Park East Tower Posh

Imagine watching the Forest Park Balloon Race from the fashionable Park East Tower in the CWE. Janet and Veta invited us to a gathering in their super swank condo to watch the balloons take off while "Up Up and Away" blasted in the background.

Notice the Russell Young paintings of Frank Sinatra and Jane Fonda that command attention in the living room. These are from Russell Young's "Arrest Shot" series. I want one.

Fever Fashion Show

The Fever Fashion Show was at 555 Washington on Saturday PM. Saks Fifth Avenue put on the event to benefit Wings.

Solar Purse

I know this has nothing to do with houses and gardens...in fact the male readers are completely left out.  I thought this solar purse sounded interesting.  You can charge your electronic with the power it generates.
