© 2009 SMU Jaume Plensa's Sho, 2007, at the Meadows Museum here's a pleasing paradox in the juxtaposition of the Claude & François-Xavier Lalanne by Paul Kasmin Meadows Museum's (Skira, $60) is truly one of the most beautiful and handsome neoclassical informative books in ages. Great photos. Very façade with Spanish sculptor transporting. Greg Fourticq Jr. Jaume Plensa's otherworldly, almost prehistoric, head named Sho. Catherine D. Anspon T W hen I learned that Hermès was debuting wallpaper this fall, I was faint; when I saw the Feuillage pattern designed by Raoul Dufy, which takes me back to NYC's Indochine, I fell out of my chair. As the editrix in Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? might proclaim, "Divine!" Seth Vaughan I'm going moto-chic in Balenciaga's multiseasonal beige leather jacket paired with a black Vespa. $2,650, at Forty Five Ten. Rachael Abrams Lucca's cozy faux-fur throws and pillows are made in Texas. Pillows from $280, throw $585, at Peacock Alley Design.

Amy Adams In KENNON EVETT La Réserve Ramatuelle in Saint Tropez is at the top of my list of places to stay next. I'm booking at lareserve ramatuelle.com. Ceron I've lunched in the Antwerp castle garden with the Vervoordts, so At Home with May and Axel Vervoordt (Flammarion, September 2012, $45) is on my list. Diane Dorrans Saeks D iana Vreeland insisted on burning cypress Rigaud candles in her office during working hours — but I love the Bois Précieux scent. From $38, at Stanley Korshak. Seth Vaughan Kelly Wearstler: Rhapsody (Rizzoli, October 2012, $55). I love Wearstler and her mod baroque style. We are promised behindthe-scenes views at work, at auctions, shopping, designing. Can't wait. Diane Dorrans Saeks Orlebar Brown's postcard-scene Monte Carlo print men's swim trunks. $295, at Barneys New York.

Brooke Hortenstine a sleepy little town on the coast of Maine, David Kaufman keeps alive the art and craft of heirloom-quality cotton, linen and woolen blankets at his turn-of-thecentury Brahms Mount factory. I can't resist the slate-ticking cotton version nor the charcoal herringbone lamb's-wool. $236 to $600, at Kuhl-Linscomb. Laurann Claridge Billy Fong Sez ... I loved my marching orders for this issue. It was akin to oldschool Mission Impossible. Not the recent tripe with Tom Cruise, but rather the vintage era with Peter Graves and Barbara Bain — the original Mad Men. Ms. Adams instructed us to choose style and charm — which are both core values of PaperCity — for the upcoming season. First off, one needs a drink to write such an important column, and mine was Lillet, a French aperitif that Bond uses in his classic Vesper martini. Then I need to throw on some music for inspiration, and my tracks included The Psychedelic Furs' "Ghost in You" (one of the most brilliant album covers of all time — so want a T-shirt replica to wear under a YSL vintage tuxedo jacket) and DB Boulevard's "Point of View." Here is what I find Very PaperCity right now: In a pinch, pull this quote out of your back pocket: "There is something rather unsavory about wearing black pearls to brunch." Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen in gun-metal gray, army style. If you have one, call me up, because it is my perfect accessory for the fall.
