OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. S eldom is the word "quiet" mentioned when it comes to Highland Park Village. Openings and rumors of what's to come swirl through town regularly. Here's the newest scoop, as we know it: We anxiously await the opening of Cartier in September, in a grand space next to Tom Ford. Late fall, Valentino opens; here's hoping the Italian fashion house's darling Brazi- lian brand ambassador Carlos Souza jets in for the opening. This fall, a new set of restaurants from Nick Badovinus and Julian Barsotti moves into the eatery and bar spaces adjacent to and atop Highland Park Village Theatre. Above Honor Bar, sisters Lizzie Means Duplantis and Sarah Means open Miron Crosby Next. New. Now. A love of blue and white was instilled in Aerin Lauder by her stylish grandmother Estée Lauder, who was a great collector of delft plates. Also inherited, Estée's knack for effortless entertaining — don't underestimate the element of surprise, says Aerin, such as putting Swedish fi sh in a beautiful. Lauder's new collaboration with Williams Sonoma, via her home brand Aerin, celebrates her decorating and entertaining heritage, guided by the aesthetic of her Palm Beach home. A dinnerware collection includes a riff on those delft plates, designed to mix with pretty white scalloped-edge plates and blue water goblets and blue- speckled highball glasses. Design offerings include chinoiserie and coastal-inspired pillows, bedding, hand-painted cachepots, chandeliers, and table lamps. $10 to $3,780, at Willi ams Sonoma, williams- sonoma.com.

Avant Garden has moved out of its stand-alone boutique (plans are set for the store to open a new locale in The Shops at Highland Park this summer) and has opened Avant Garden Orchid Bar and Floral in Royal Blue Grocery. What's in store? Potted orchids, small arrangements, and gift packages. And, you may have noticed the construction crews surrounding Building G — home to Chanel, Starbucks, William Noble Rare Jewels, et al. The building is undergoing extensive renovations, which we hear will include the mid-2018 debut of a private-club concept (Soho House-ish) from Brady Wood and hotelier John Scott. Mum's the word on that megawatt project for now. While renovations ensue, Chanel and Starbucks will remain open in their current locations, while William Noble moves into a temporary first-floor storefront. More details on papercitymag. com.
