tie one on

56 tie one onOutside, the leaves may just be starting to turn, but here at the STYLE AT HOME offices, it’s already a full-blown winter wonderland as we prepare for our December spectacular. Which, of course, has me thinking about what I want for the holidays, and at the top of my wish list is this gorgeous narrow wool tie. If every girl has to have an Hermes scarf, then the same must be said of Hermes ties for guys… With kilt-edge fringing at both ends and the in-your-face tartan design, this is a necktie for a guy who is easily bored with neckties (namely, me). Covet!

suit up!

brett2 suit up!Haberdashery always translates so well to the home, whether it’s upholstery in a somber suit-style pinstripe, or draperies in tone-on-tone silk taken from a necktie. The current vogue for geek chic has seen bold reinterpretations of menswear-inspired home textiles, and I’m wild for this grand-scale argyle pattern carpet, in a chic and sexy achromatic scheme. It’s preppy and playful, and generously sized at 8-by-11-feet.

Price: $799

Available at: The Home Depot, 800-628-0525 for stores and to order.
