EDITORS LETTER
CRYSTAL GENTILELLOCO-FOUNDER & EDITOR IN CHIEF
IT SEEMS THAT EACH HOLIDAY SEASON
arrives quicker than the last. And this year,
we couldnt help but get wrapped up in the
holiday cheer early. Welcome to Rues Ulti-
mate Holiday Gift Guide - were so excited to
share it with you!
WE BELIEVE that these weeks should be
lled with love, joy, and laughter- not anxiety.
So, with this issue weve done everything
we can to help you get through the busiest
shopping time of the year. Weve curated
gift guides for everyone on your list- from
the tech fanatic in your life (page 32) to your
stylish best friend (pg 28), and everyone in
between.
OF COURSE, it wouldnt be a Rue Holiday
issue without some DIYs to make your days
merry and bright. If youre in need of a little
more decor around your home, youll love
Scot Meacham Woods gorgeous holiday
wreath (pg. 78). Or, warm your soul with
deliciously darling Holiday Cider (pg. 74). And
of course, we made sure to share the best
entertaining inspiration (pg. 110) and deco-
rating ideas (pg. 92) for those of you who
nd yourselves hosting a holiday party in the
weeks to come.
AS WE REFLECT BACK ON 2012, we count
your support amongst our greatest bless-
ings. From the entire team at Rue, we wish
you the happiest of holidays. May this sea-
son bring you a bounty of peace, love, and
good cheer.
SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR with some veryexciting changes and surprises from Rue!
Sincerely,

NEW YORK, NY 10028
DE VERA OBJECTS is a huge source of in-
spiration for me. I have received many gifts
from De Vera and given a lot of gifts from
there as well. They are one of the stores in
the city that has the most exquisite objects
and jewelry and the most interesting, abso-
lutely one of a kind things.

YOU CAN USUALLY FIND ME HERE on the week-
ends. Its a multi dealer antiques mall and the best
part is you never know what youre going to find
there. The inventory and merchandise is constant-
y evolving and you can find something spectacu-
ar for $10 or $10,000. Its just a really fun place to
shop.

NATES TIPSfor Surviving the Holidays in Style
INVESTin things you can have inyour home year round like clear glass,
mercury glass, and metallic accesso-
ries. Buy things that dont necessarily
overtly say holiday but read as festive.
EDITyour space right before the
holidays and look at it with a fresh eye.
Get rid of furniture and accessoriesyou dont use. Before you start enter-
taining take a last look and do a clean
sweep of the space.
LIGHT a candle. People really re-
spond to the smell of a space, so pick
up a great scented candle but make
sure it is not something that is too over
powering. Subtle is best.
EDITORS NOTE: FLAMELESS CAN-
DLES ARE GREAT FOR THOSE HARD
TO REACH SPACES.
STOCKyour guest room for those
out-of-town visitors. Leave bottled
water on the side table, clean or new
sheets on the bed, and a book on the
nightstand. And why not pre-set the
DVR to shows you know they love and
watch at home? Theyll feel right at
home!

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE
DESIGN MASTERMINDS
ON GILT, GIFTS, AND
GETTING COZY.
HI, TOM! WERE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AS
PART OF RUES 2012 HOLIDAY ISSUE. TO START
WOULD YOU MIND SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABO
YOURSELF, AND YOUR HISTORY AS A DESIGNE
As the Creative Director of Gilt Home, I curate
the sites product assortment as well as the
overall design, look, and feel of the site. To g
you a bit about my background: I have my ow
interior design business outside of Gilt Home,
and prior to joining Gilt, I was the Editor at
Large of domino magazine. In the past, Ive al
served as the VP of Art Advisory at Deutsche
Bank and as a Specialist in Contemporary Art
Sothebys.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AS CREATIVE
DIRECTOR OF GILT HOME WHAT DO YOU LOV
MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB, AND WHATS A TYPI-
CAL DAY LIKE FOR YOU?
What I love about being at Gilt Home is that
every day is different- there really isnt a typi
cal day for any of us! On any given day, I cou
be working on new pieces for the Gilt Home
Collection, a product line I designed that just
launched on our site a few weeks ago; teamin
up with our buyers to curate new brands and
sales; meeting with the art directors to deter-
mine how we want to shoot upcoming editoria
discussing how the site looks with our mer-
chandisers and graphic designers; or heading
to trade shows and appointments to meet with
new designers and brands.

Lindsey Adelmans Halo Candlesticks are high on my wish list this year. Each candlestick rests on a

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE
DESIGN MASTERMINDS
ON GILT, GIFTS, AND
GETTING COZY.
HI, TOM! WERE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AS
PART OF RUES 2012 HOLIDAY ISSUE. TO START
WOULD YOU MIND SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABO
YOURSELF, AND YOUR HISTORY AS A DESIGNE
As the Creative Director of Gilt Home, I curate
the sites product assortment as well as the
overall design, look, and feel of the site. To g
you a bit about my background: I have my ow
interior design business outside of Gilt Home,
and prior to joining Gilt, I was the Editor at
Large of domino magazine. In the past, Ive al
served as the VP of Art Advisory at Deutsche
Bank and as a Specialist in Contemporary Art
Sothebys.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AS CREATIVE
DIRECTOR OF GILT HOME WHAT DO YOU LOV
MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB, AND WHATS A TYPI-
CAL DAY LIKE FOR YOU?
What I love about being at Gilt Home is that
every day is different- there really isnt a typi
cal day for any of us! On any given day, I cou
be working on new pieces for the Gilt Home
Collection, a product line I designed that just
launched on our site a few weeks ago; teamin
up with our buyers to curate new brands and
sales; meeting with the art directors to deter-
mine how we want to shoot upcoming editoria
discussing how the site looks with our mer-
chandisers and graphic designers; or heading
to trade shows and appointments to meet with
new designers and brands.

Get to know theNEWEST THING IN SOCIAL
MEDIA with Luvocracy Creative Director,
CHRISTINE MARTINEZ LOYA.
LETS START WITH THE BASICS, SHALL WE?
WHAT IS LUVOCRACY?
Luvocracy is a new platform for social shopping based
on the simple concept that the best products in our
ives come through the recommendations of peoplewe trust. We all have that go-to person for makeup
advice, or know a friend that has exquisite taste in
home decor -- Luvocracy brings all these people and
heir product recommendations together in one easy-
o-shop place.
WE LOVE THAT WORD OF MOUTH CONCEPT. HOW WILL
LUVOCRACY CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE SHOP?
Now you have access to a world of products, hand-
picked by people you know and admire. Best part:
when someone buys one of your product recommen-
dations from Luvocracy, you earn a commission on the
sale! This is our way of rewarding our members for
heir great recommendations.
SOUNDS LIKE A NO-BRAINER TO US! LUVORACY SEEMS
LIKE THE PERFECT PLACE TO START SOME HOLIDAY
SHOPPING.
Yes! One way to view Luvocracy is as a personalized
gift guide. For example, I may know a lot about home
decor, but I dont know much about mens fashion or
gifts for kids. Luckily, I trust people on Luvocracy that
do! Browsing their collections puts me only one click
away from buying a great gift.

MARK AND GRAHAM WAS FOUNDED on the need for a more modern approach to monogramming.
Gone are the days of mass-market clich keepsakes. Instead, were welcoming what they refer
to as the next generation of personalization. The design is simple and classic, yet the typogra-
phy is modern and fresh. From their broad range of unique fonts, to the addition of symbols (like
ampersands and hashtags), there is a perfect monogram for every customer.
WERE ABSOLUTELY MAD ABOUT MONOGRAMS, WHICH IS WHY WERE SO
PLEASED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR FAVORITE NEW BRAND. SAY HELLO TO

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS IS THE EVERYDAY ZIP POUCH-
made of supple leather and a contrasting silk lining. It is chic and practical, while
the addition of color and typography give it a personality all its own. Or, choose a
Linen Wine Bag (paired with your favorite bottle) for a thoughtful hostess gift. Of
course, a gift-focused brand comes with perks! Each purchase comes in a beautiful
linen box wrapped in a signature steel grey ribbon.
THE TEAM AT MARK AND GRAHAM wanted the experience- start to fnish- to be un-
matched, and theyve done just that. Theyve quickly become a fun resource that
helps you create personal gifts that will stand the test of time. Mark and Graham is
a place where gift giving isnt stressful, but a delight! And of course, allow yourself
to indulge, too. One for them, two for you!

GONE ARE THE DAYS OFbor-
ing wreaths with a simple red bow. Rues
Editor in Chief Crystal opened her doors
to Scot Meacham Wood, of SMW Design
and the blog The Adventures of Tar-
tanscot. The result? A whole lot of fes-
tive cheer. Starting with a plain wreath
(available at most retailers) as his blank
canvas, Scot transformed it in a mat-
ter of moments. Using magnolia leaves
and shimmering baubles- the once plain
greenery is now a fabulous (and sparkly)
way to welcome the holidays.
TIP:
Trim the magnolia leaves so that the stem
long enough to fasten them to the wreath
but short enough to remain hidden.

THE TEXTUREof the wreath should
be completely transformed with the leaves.
If youre longing for a simple, nature-inspired
look, you can consider this DIY complete. But
if youre like us, a little embellishment is next
on the list. Gathering your favorite holiday-
inspired garnishes (Scot went for shimmering
white to accent the greens), work your way
around the wreath- attaching these the same
way you did the leaves. Make sure to space
them out and let the gorgeous textures show
through. Last? Sit back and enjoy your gor-
geous handiwork.

MARYSIA DOBRZANSKA REEVES USUALLY HAS HER HEAD IN THE SAND, but for a
few weeks this year, the swimwear designer has transformed her Little Italy loft into
a snowy winter wonderland. Despite having relocated to New York City only a year
and a half ago from Charleston, Marysia, her husband, and their daughter who
have another little one on the way have already created a home that looks well
collected and full of personality. With numerous family photographs and quirky ac-
cessories, contemporary and vintage furniture, open shelving, and a neutral pal-
ette, it makes the ideal base for magical holiday decor.

DURING TWO NON-STOP DAYS OF DECORATING, Marysia re-imagined her exposed-brick interi-ors which double as an office for her label, Marysia Swim with evergreens, branches, and
homemade Polish treats. We live and work here, she says, so I wanted to keep it clean and
not too homey looking. Going from a 3,000-square-foot home to a loft wasnt easy, but I really
-
8/22/2019 Rue December

enjoyed sizing down and only keeping my very favorite things. Much like her jagged-trimmedmaillots, Marysia opted for a few statement-making visual elements, such as birch tree branch-
es framing her living and dining rooms and evergreen garlands adorning her window and door
thresholds. Our apartment has 18-foot ceilings, so I play with height when decorating for the
holidays.

IN THE GLOW OF HER CLEAN-BURNING, ethanol fire-
place, string-light-wrapped branches are elevated to
an almost-holy status, but Marysias conservatively
dressed Christmas tree is the favorite. With a decid-
edly modern touch, she planted it in a late 19th-century
Japanese hibachi made from a tree stump, which was
found by her astute, art-dealer brother-in-law. The treein general is so symbolic, and since childhood I got so
excited looking at all the things that went on it, she
admits. My daughter is thrilled to do it as well. I let her
go crazy with her little white tree in her room, too. She
loads it up and is so happy with herself. It makes me
happy to watch her.
AS FOR THE TABLETOPS, Marysia loves to spread the
decorations throughout every surface of her home,
whether its handmade a nativity set on a childrens pla
set or a sprig of evergreens on the kitchen shelves. I
love using evergreens in addition to white ranunculus,
garden roses, and peonies, she says. I like playing
with the hardness of the greens and the delicate texture
of flowers. I was also looking to add white berries to th
mix but I only found orange and red. A reserved white,
green, and brown palette is calming goes well the
space, Marysia says. I do love red as a color and used
to play it up much more, but I guess Im using a less is
more kind of theory.
ITS ONLY NATURAL THAT MARYSIA applies this minima
ist, monotone look to her artful line of bikinis, cover-
ups, and beachwear, as well. She reveals: I love inte-rior design so much that I find myself drawing from tha
into my collections rather than the other way around. I
guess I like to do things a little unexpectedly with my
decorating; the same goes for my fashion design. Ex-
pect the unexpected from the designer whos expect-
ing, we guess.
