I’m still smitten with Britain after the Royal Wedding and wish I had planned a trip to the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show. Since that isn’t happening, I’ve been consoling myself by looking at English Country Houses. I fell in love with this Queen Anne style estate in Herefordshire owned by interior designer Edward […]

Most private clubs have a strict “no photos” policy. I was so afraid of getting my hosts kicked out of 5 Hertford in London that I didn’t dare pull out my camera, not even in the loo. Now, the pink ladies lounge of Annabel’s club is the most posted room on Instagram and the entire club […]

It’s been reported that Harry and Meghan, the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are keen to have children as soon as possible. You could see Harry turn to Meghan and smile when family was mentioned during their wedding ceremony. I wouldn’t be surprised if the palace announced a pregnancy later this year. When the […]

Are you going to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle on Saturday?  I’ll definitely be watching but it’s a shame her family drama is overshadowing the big day. It will be too wet in New York to throw a royal garden party to celebrate, but I’ve put together some lovely items […]

While New York seems to be in the middle of a rainy season, England seems to be enjoying a beautiful spring. I know this from Instagram so I thought it would be fun to post my favorite photos in honor of the upcoming royal wedding. Enjoy! @benpentreath @eugeniaexplores @alexander.hoyle @amandacbrooks @alexander.hoyle @mrsalice @alexander.hoyle @meanderingmacaron @mccormickcharlie […]

The second Gal Meets Glam Collection of dresses have just debuted today. They are more amazing options for summer parties and weddings or just every day wear. Once styles are sold out, they will not be replenished because a new collection will launch each month. So if you see something you like, scoop it up!  […]

I’ve been to Versailles twice but didn’t make it to Le Hameau on either trip. The recently renovated and reopened Maison de la Reine will make it a first priority on my next visit. Marie-Antoinette had Le Hameau built by Richard Mique from 1783-86 as a place to escape court life and host small gatherings. […]

It felt like we had a week of spring in New York and then went straight to summer. One good thing about the warmer weather is that it’s finally sandal season. I went a little crazy buying sandals recently and I can’t wait to wear them all. I’ve put them together with some other chic […]

In another fit of spring cleaning, I decided to get rid of more magazines. I was going to throw out a stack of World of Interiors until I started to leaf through them. I came across this beautiful Paris pied-à-terre designed by Isabel López-Quesada that I don’t remember seeing before. The owners asked the interior designer […]

I had a hard time trying to decide what to name this post because it’s actually about a few different but related things. First, Delphine and Reed Krakoff have decided to part with some of their collection of art and furniture at Sotheby’s 23 May 2018 in the sale A Collection That We Dreamt Of: Art and […]

If you are in New York this weekend, you will definitely not lack for things to do, especially if you like art. There is so much going on that I’m a little exhausted already but I still have two more exhibitions to see. Hope you can make it one or all but definitely wear comfortable […]

One of the driving principles of who I post on Habitually Chic is that the person must be nice. And not just nice to me. One person who is niceness personified is interior designer Michael Herold who designed by foyer at the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. I arrived later than expected to the […]

Are you ready for Mother’s Day?  If you’re having trouble figuring out a gift, how about some beauty and skincare products that your mom/grandma/wife/sister/friend might not buy for themselves. The perfect one-stop place to shop for gifts or a beauty refresh for yourself is Cos Bar. They carry all the best brands and newest products […]

Interior designer Alexa Hampton is known for classical design elements and no where is this more apparent than in her “Olympia Folly” living room in the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Her vision for the room was a draped and tented space that opened to reveal a folly. De Gournay created the custom mural […]

New designers at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House are often given small or awkward spaces. It feels like a test. Will they complain or knock it out of the park so they can graduate to a bigger space down the road? Sasha Bickoff was given a plain white staircase that she turned into a […]

It was at the 2015 Kips Bay Decorator Show House that I first met interior designer Philip Mitchell and his partner Mark Narsansky when I fell in love with Philip’s Stairway to Heaven. We’ve become such dear friends that we were joking earlier this week that it feels like we’ve known each other forever and […]

I have donated to Housing Works for years and I love supporting this wonderful organization. When pr powerhouse James LaForce invited me to sit at his table for the Housing Works Groundbreaker Awards Dinner last night, I immediately said yes. Before dinner, we were able to check out the Design on a Dime vignettes designed […]

Fashion designer Misha Nonoo’s duplex apartment was in great shape when she and her former husband bought it from interior designer Nate Berkus in 2013. After her divorce, she pared things down with help from Andre Mellone while keeping many of Nate’s design elements. Her home is featured in the new May 2018 issue of […]

As many of you know, I wear dresses not skirts so I was very excited for the new Gal Meets Glam Collection of dresses that debuted last Friday. Julia Engle, the influencer behind the Gal Meets Glam blog, and her husband spent many months commuting between their home in Charleston and New York to work […]
