Carole Radziwill's guide to animal print

Carole is one of my favorite housewives
from the Bravo franchise.

Some of us are obsessed with 
Carole's overall sense of style,

and now she's unveiled 
her newly renovated apartment.

The iconic tiger sofa 
is still the centerpiece of her decor,

 thankfully!

Whether it's fashion or decor,

Carole rocks it every time! 

Back to her new decor...

a few hints of leopard on this cozy curved couch

 under the floating stairs are perfect.

Details of the ovoid side table and well-worn sofa

upholstered in Scalamandre Le Tigre fabric. 

The view from across the room, 
and a peek at the butterfly table.

shmoozing over Carole's new book,

The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating.

Talk of the new decor and books soon turns to
   

talk of Aviva, the cray-cray.

We'll discuss Aviva later, 
after the first reunion show!

meanwhile, 
the elegant fabrics play off nicely 

with the quirky vintage accessories.

The famous tiger sofa was 

a hand-me-down from her mother-in-law, 

Lee Radziwill.  

Here's a vintage photo of Lee's apartment. 

You know, of course, 
that Lee is Jackie Kennedy's sister 

and a huge fashionista 
and style icon in her own right.

Here they are with Aviva during more peaceful times.

That sofa just looks good with everything.

a lesson from Carole....

animal print is a classic!
