I just discovered this gem of a restaurant in Brentwood Monday evening. After the most delicious 3 courses, I highly recommend this for weekend brunches and cozy dinner dates. When making your reservation request to sit in the atrium, Its the most beautifully decorated dinning room (You’ll feel as if you just stepped into a Nancy Meyers film) Other bonuses to look forward to at Tarven: Live jazz music on the last Monday of every month and  Pre -packed picnic boxes (See Below)  for a romantic afternoon or evening out at the Hollywood Bowl or Cinespa. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

Apolostered Silk Chair in Taroni Fabric.

I have gotten several emails from you darling Wives wondering about the gowns I create and curious to know where I get my silk fabric from. Well this post will be the answer to all of your curiosities….

Taroni silk out of Italy is the fabric I use for all of my sewing needs. Not only is Taroni one of the oldest silk companies, but is made exclusively in Italy using traditional and authentic techniques that  no longer used. They have provided fabrics that masters such as: Hubert De Givenchy, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino used to create their haute couture collections. Also current designers of today like Albert Elbaz, Karl Lagerfeld and Nicolas Ghesquiere use Taroni silk in their present day collections.

Acquiring your own silk fabrics is easy whether it be for a sewing project or materials for upholstering furniture. Depending on if your ordering a light Georgette silk or a heavy double Duchesse silk, Printed silk or Plan, Prices range from $25.00 per yard to over $100.00 per yard. (For fabric orders over 10 yards the price per yard becomes lower.)

The future of Taroni is also working on developing products such as throws and pillows that will soon be available for purchase on their website. – Miss Taryn Cox
