It’s a multi-media exhibition: fancy footwear with heels of dizzying heights mixed with short films by big names like fashion photographer Steven Klein and artist Marilyn Minter. Here, a few of my favorites:

Always a fan of communication, just like Mr. Mayer (yes, I was one of those chatty teenage girls who obsessed with my friends about, like, everything via phone for hours), I chuckled while rifling through her snarky-meets-sophisticated collection of canvas bags.

And, when it comes to New York, these are a handful of my favorites.
Because in this town, let’s face it, you can never have too much style…or too much love.

Let the creativity flow. I’m loving this bespoke collection from Grey Area.

Designed by mostly New York-based artists, each of the seven eco-friendly yoga mats brings art into our daily yoga practice with totally eye-opening, avant-garde imagery.

One of my favorites is the Eric Cahan Mat (directly above).  Taken from his Sky Series, it shows the East Hampton sunset as captured by the artist at exactly 7:22pm, exploring the relationship between light, color and space.  Who doesn’t love a dreamy beach sunset?

Launched at buzzy Art Basel Miami Beach in partnership with lululemon, you can grab your favorite at South Beach Morgans Hotel properties like The Delano, Shore Club and Mondrian and shop the collection on Grey Area’s site.

This is one viewing party that just can’t be missed.
