Rouge members discount is 20%, VIB is 15%, and Insider is 10%. Members earn their status through purchases made but I think […]

If you still don’t have your spring wardrobe sorted, the Halsbrook Friends and Family Sale is the perfect time to do some shopping. From now until April 8, 2022, you can save 25% off your order with the code FF2022 (exclusions apply). I’ve picked out a few outfits to get you started. This Smythe Navy […]

The recent cold snap in New York is having a devastating effect on the spring buds and blooms. I’m afraid this might not be the prettiest or mildest spring so I’ve put together a lot of things to do and watch inside until it fully warms up. If you are a member at The Metropolitan […]

The questions I’m asked most often on Instagram are “where should I go in New York” and “do you have a guide”. People haven’t been to the city in years due to the pandemic so they are planning trips and want to know where to stay and most often, where to eat. I don’t have […]

I’ve been working on this post about the fashions that Sienna Miller wears in the upcoming Netflix series Anatomy of a Scandal before it is released on April 15, 2022 since I’ll be away then. It will also give you a jump start on buying anything she wears before anyone else even knows about the […]

Did you watch the film Windfall that was just released on Netflix? I did and immediately fell in love with the house where it was filmed in Ojai, California. The film is about a man who breaks into a tech billionaire’s empty vacation home only to have things go sideways when the arrogant mogul and […]

After a long cold winter, the weather has finally warmed up here in New York. It’s time to refresh your wardrobe and get outdoors and enjoy the longer days and nicer weather. To prepare you for spring, my friend Heidi Wynne is offering a special reduction of 15% off on her classic collection of linen […]

Spring has finally arrived but that means beautiful sunny weather mixed with cold and rainy days. We’ve got you covered if you want to be out and about or hunkered down at home with something to watch or read this weekend. Filmmaker Sofia Coppola doesn’t seem to grant many interviews so I was excited to […]

The weather is getting warm in New York so it’s time to post about my favorite outfit again. A white top with jeans is chic yet comfortable and can be worn anywhere. If it’s chilly, add a blazer or light coat. If it’s hot, switch out thee flats for sandals. It can go from work […]

I just happened to see an email in my inbox on Friday announcing that the house seen in the film Basic Instinct is for sale. The iconic film was released on March 20, 1992 so perhaps they are trying to take advantage of the 30th anniversary. In my opinion, there are some issues with the […]

The switch to Daylight Saving Time this weekend means we are about to spring forward to more light and warmer weather. After this past winter, I’m ready to add some colorful shoes to my wardrobe and Saks Fifth Avenue has the best styles to choose from right now. I’ve picked out my favorite pairs of […]

Would you like to own an historic French chateau that can also earn you money as an event space? If so, I present the Pavillon de Musique in Louveciennes, France that can be your for 60,000,000 Euros. Before I get to the details, I thought it would be interesting to outline how I came upon the Pavillon […]

One of my favorite sales is the annual Dermstore Beauty Refresh Sale which is when I stock up on my favorite skincare products and try new ones. The sale includes skincare, makeup, haircare, devices, and brands like Sunday Riley, EltaMD, Avene, Paula’s Choice, La Roche-Posay, Obagi, and more. If you could use a spring refresh, […]

While it feels like world is about to end there are a few good things happening this month. In addition to new exhibitions, shows to binge, and clothes to buy, the US returns to Daylight Saving Time which means it will stay light out later and hopefully make everyone feel a little better. Also, I’ve […]

I apologize for the lack of posts for the past week and a half. I was having issues with the website, I also had a friend in New York, and then war was waged on Ukraine by Russia. Every time I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, something else happens. […]

Anyone in the market for an abandoned fixer-upper 16th-century palazzo in Italy with frescoes by Niccolò Contestabili? I first came across Palazzo Damiani through the instagram account of Paolo Abate. Luckily, he mentioned the fresco artist which led me to the real estate listing. It has 15 bedrooms so perhaps you could turn it into […]

Think Pink

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve put together some pretty pink pieces to brighten up your day. XOXO, HC Prettiest pink silk-georgette midi dress. There is nothing more romantic than pink Manolo Blahnik embellished satin pumps. Something a little more reasonably priced is this pink suede shoulder bag. I love this pink handmade wool coat […]

Cour des Vosges

02 . 13 . 22

While I was working on my posts about the film France and 24 Place des Vosges, I came across a very chic hotel. Cour des Vosges sits at 19 Place des Vosges and is the only hotel with views of the square from every room. The 17th-century historic site is known as the Hôtel de […]

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that you never know what might be behind those large wooden doors in Paris. The last time I stayed in the City of Light, I rented an apartment at 8 rue du Pas de la Mule which happens to sit right next door to 24 Place des Vosges, the location […]
