A Fashionable Life will be another regular post of this blog, which I’ll try to post every Friday. For this initial post, we are all super lucky since we get a glimpse into Lauren Santo Domingo’s Southampton home currently featured in the September issue of Vogue. I love Lauren’s style in fashion and interiors, and her Southampton home is like a perfect new home that feels old, classic old indeed. Lauren worked with the distinguished classicist architect Gil Schafer. Unfortunately, Vogue article only shows the beautiful and magical garden designed by Miranda Brooks and the interiors of the barn decorated by Virginia Tupker.

Thanks to Instagram and if you follow Lauren Santo Domingo, you can get to see other areas of this charming home. To build the estate, two adjoining property needed to be combined since the 1790’s cottage on one of the lots was not allowed to be altered. By uniting the two lots, a suggestion of a series of farm buildings and garden rooms was created. Lauren requested Miranda for the garden to be completely organic and Knowing first-hand how hard it is to keep a garden free of weed and crabgrass; I just hope Miranda will let me in in secret. To read the rest of the story visit Vogue.
Santo Domingo (wearing an Oscar de la Renta coat) and her daughter, Beatrice, snuggle up on the sunporch. With its Lilou Marquand rattan shades, it doubles as a cozy dining room in inclement weather. I love how she looks at her daughter in every picture I see of them. Curiously enough Lauren opted for no air conditioning instead she chose creen doors and windows.

This bathroom is what dreams are made of. Santo Domingo’s dressing room–bathroom was originally conceived as a suite of three rooms, until an image in the 1970 tome David Hicks on Bathrooms inspired her to combine them into one. Virginia Tupker sourced the Cogolin carpet; the Josef Frank chaise is upholstered in custom Le Manach fabric.
