mondrian-icure

Caitlin has been on the go here and there and everywhere on occasion of this book with a Mondrian cake on its cover.  Perhaps i’ve mentioned it.

A wide range of people are familiar with Mondrian’s paintings and been inspired by his Compositions in Yellow, Blue and Red.  Homes have been decorated, Yves Saint Laurent did a whole line of color block dresses.

When Caitlin snuck in a trip to the nail salon between the book launch and an interview, she showed the ladies at the salon a photo of a Mondrian painting on her phone and they all recognized the reference.  She left with what I like to call the “Mondrian-icure”.  And soon after, at the East Coast book launch party met a woman with a blog called Nails + Nosh, featuring fancy manicures holding food (that typically matches).

Now you can have your Mondrian cake and nails done too.
