Best known for her stint as a real housewife
on Bravo's RHONYC, what stands out for me
about those seasons more than Ramona's big
eyes and Bethenny's skinny rise to fame are
Kelly Killoren Bensimon's
chic NYC apartment and stylish house
Kelly's mom, Lesley is a personal friend
and a talented interior designer who shared
a beautiful residential project with me here.

A model/actress/author, Kelly
hails from the town where I live
and has this tres jolie sense of playful living
mixed with the unexpected (and jelly beans).

Made from her Hermes scarves.
Here's the detail that hints we could hang:

Since glimpsing and loving those cushions,
I have collected 35" designer silk scarves to create my own.

Check out the horse room divider!
No images of her upstairs bedroom,
but it is heavenly with its glossy white floors
and a library of shoes and bags.

Moving on to her East Hampton pad,
she maintains a clean and laid back vibe,
with sexy accents and art everywhere.

The decor changed in here a little bit
perhaps because the home was staged for sale.
