I did not have time to post a lemming yesterday, so here's one for Caturday: from Quail Ceramics, the Squash flower vase. It will smell nice if you put nice flowers in it? "...a handcrafted and hand-painted piece from an enchanting collection of vases and bud vases. Designed to infuse any space with charm and whimsy, its playful design and intricate details make it a delightful accent for mantels, countertops, or cozy nooks, bringing a touch of joy and vibrancy to your home", 5" high, $56 at Beautyhabit.

When Donatella Versace took over the house of Versace

When Donatella Versace took over the house of Versace in the aftermath of her brother Gianni’s murder, most observers privately assumed that her reign would be no more than a postscript.

She proved everyone wrong. Versace is now defined as much by Donatella as by Gianni.
