I’m very lucky that Estee Lauder sends me products to review because I often fall in love with crazy colors that I would never have tried on my own. I’ve been getting compliments on their red lipstick so I thought I would share it and a few of my other favorites with you.  I think New Year’s […]

Chic and Cozy

12 . 29 . 10

I made it safely back to New York but the snow is still piled high on every street corner.  Makes me wish I had a fireplace and a fur blanket like in the home of Spanish designer Tony Espuch.  Looks like a great space to throw a New Year’s Eve soiree as well! Photos by […]

Chic at Work

12 . 28 . 10

Sometimes I miss working in an office.  I used to think up more creative outfits because I didn’t want to bore my co-workers by wearing the same thing each week.  Since the same people don’t see me everyday now, I feel like my outfits have gotten a little boring.  One of my New Year’s resolutions […]

Model Chic in Madrid

12 . 27 . 10

Hope everyone had a great holiday and those of you on the East Coast are surviving the snow.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my flight will take off on Tuesday but until then, I’m going to continue drooling over Naty Abascal’s Madrid home.  I came across it while I was flipping through Hola! magazine […]

I was thinking how nice it would be to post a something snowy on this first day of winter and magically, the perfect house came to me.  APT with LSD on Vogue.com toured the family home of Amanda Brooks in the Adirondacks.  Looks like a beautiful place to spend Christmas.  For all the details, check […]

Luckily, I managed to get out and take some photos of the wonderful holiday decorations on the Upper East Side before I became an incubus of viral plague.  New Yorkers really know how to go all out.  Enjoy!  Photos by Heather Clawson for Habitually Chic

I posted these photos two years ago in Silver and Sage but I love them so much that I couldn’t help reposting them.  The house located in New Canaan, Connecticut was built in 1885 and belongs to designer Michelle Morgan Harrison.  It was originally featured in Connecticut Cottages & Gardens and makes me wish I had a […]

Growing up, my mother used to display Christmas cards along a ribbon along a door frame.  The cards were held up by tiny little red clothes pins.  Those were the days when you would receive a pile of cards everyday in the mail.  Fewer people send out cards these days so I feel like I […]

I always buy cards from R. Nichols since they perfectly reflect my life in New York especially at the holidays.  This Christmas Taxi card is the one I sent out this year and for those of you whose address I do not know, please accept this virtual holiday greeting.  I hope you and your yours […]

Pretty in Paris Update

12 . 17 . 10

Remember this pretty apartment in Paris that I wrote about in the post Blue Monday last month?  Well, you can see more of it and who owns it in the January 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  Interior designer Chahan Minassian worked with Sally and Michel Perrin of Perrin Paris on this dream apartment on the Quai […]

Lauren’s Luggage

12 . 17 . 10

The one apartment in New York I am dying to see belongs to Lauren and Andrés Santo Domingo. The January 2011 issue of Vogue published the photo above which has me even more intrigued.  I heard that Jacques Grange helped decorate it and another article mentions her Hippo bar from Lalannes.  Maybe more photos of […]

The End of an Era

12 . 17 . 10

I was a little shocked to hear this morning that Carine Roitfeld, the editor in chief of French Vogue, will leave the magazine at the end of January.  She’s started her career as a model and later stylist for Tom Ford among others.  She’s been with French Vogue for ten years and says she has […]

I really wanted to post some of my photos from Versailles today but my computer had other ideas.  Now I have to run to a meeting at a magazine so I’m leaving you with these photos from French designer Frederic Mechiche’s flat in the Marais area of Paris.  I will try to add some details when […]

Vacancy at Versailles

12 . 16 . 10

Visiting Château de Versailles is a magical yet exhausting experience.  You can’t possibly see it all in one day, as much as you may try.  While there are lovely hotels in the town to extend your visit, there is none that will be as conveniently located as the proposed Hôtel du Grand Contrôle which is […]

I think anyone who writes a blog has a deep admiration for Martha Stewart and the empire she has built.  I remember buying the very first issue of her magazine with my mother so when I was asked if I wanted to attend the Martha Stewart Show today, I was beyond thrilled.  My friend Jessica Gold, who […]

Chic in Palm Springs

12 . 15 . 10

I was going to post something else this morning but after I woke to 20 degree temperatures, I thought we could all use a little warmth.  These photos of the  Louis Vuitton 2011 Cruise collection were taken by Mark Segel at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs and makes me want to book a trip […]
