Lonny
Luxe & Lucid was on hiatus last week. My home laptop was corrupted by a virus (good times),
so I wasn’t able to blog. Here’s a quick post until the next in-depth Luxe & Lucid installment …
Although it breaks my heart to watch so many shelter mags shutter their production, I am happy to report
that one forward-thinking and stylish girl has come to the rescue in our time of need. Michelle Adams has
launched LONNY, a new online design magazine. Currently into its second issue, the “e-zine” is winning rave
reviews and already has 10,000 fans on Facebook. I am beyond impressed with its stylish content, beautiful
photography and easy-to-use web format. It takes A LOT to impress me, so let me assure you that this is one chic
periodical and well worth a bookmark. I’ve “torn out” some of my favorite pages from Lonny - volume 2 below.
The Cover
Every page is printable, email-able, blog-able.
A gorgeous spread on the Hotel Keppler. A definite contender for my next trip to Paris.
The article on uber chic Haus Interior is a showcase for the magazine’s slick, stylish photography.
I pretty much love everything in their Gift Guide.
This is a dressing room in J. Crew’s upper east side shop.
It could have been a Huntley & Co. design!
A detail from Kate Spade on 5th Avenue.
I don’t know what I’m looking at, but I love it.
