Now that June is here, it’s time to start thinking about the beach. I’ve put together five color palettes inspired this summer’s hottest beach reads to get you ready for fun in the sun. The first color story is inspired by How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone by Cameron Russell. It’s a bold memoir […]

I apologize that the New and Noteworthy post for May is late this month. Even though I had all the recommendations put together, I didn’t have the necessary time to write the post. But it’s so chock full of good stuff that I hope you will consider it worth the wait. Everyone’s favorite Chicago store, […]

While Memorial Day is a time we should be remembering and honoring people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, it also signifies the unofficial start of summer in the US. But it’s also a great time to shop and save during the Memorial Day Weekend Sales. I’ve rounded up all the […]

My friend Heidi Wynne’s summer photo shoot took place at the Cornelius Wynkoop Stone House where George Washington was once a guest. Built in 1767 and located in the village of Stone Ridge, in the Hudson Valley of New York, Heidi thought this historic estate was the perfect setting for her classic collection of block […]

One of my friends in the Hamptons alerted me that the historic Hannibal French House on Main Street in Sag Harbor is on the market with Compass for $18.9 Million. I’ve posted about this house many time and always photograph it when I am walking in town but it was very nice to see more […]

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring the Kips Bay Decorator Show House for 2024 and can’t believe I’ve been covering this annual event for 17 years. This year’s house at 125 East 65th Street in New York opens on May 2nd and runs until May 28, 2024. The 12,000 square-foot Georgian designed townhouse by […]

One of my Instagram followers messaged me about sandals last week. She was having trouble finding something she liked for summer so I said I’d work on a post. I hope more styles are coming this summer because I had a hard time finding anything really exciting and most sandals out right now are very […]

The weather is getting warmer and I’ve had a few requests for my annual Perfect Pairing post. A white or ivory top with jeans is chic yet comfortable and can be worn anywhere. It can go from the work day to the weekend and from walking the dog to date night. If it’s chilly, add […]

Since I moved to NYC 23 years ago, Bloomingdale’s has always been a part of my life. I visit the iconic store less in person now since it’s so easy to shop online but they also offer free services like buy online pickup in store, in-store or curbside pickup, personal stylists and personal shoppers, in-personal […]

This is a multifaceted post so buckle up. It encompasses some of the new things I bought myself for my birthday which was yesterday (April 18th) and how I’m wearing these things with pieces I already own. Sometimes, I wonder if you are bored of my posting the same Toteme trench coat I bought in […]

I’ve flirted with color recently but I can’t escape my comfort zone of neutrals. Beige doesn’t have to be boring when you mix it with chic textured accessories and Net-a-Porter has the best options whether you are heading to East Hampton or Essaouira. For the plane or car ride, I’d start with the cream Ribbed […]

ME+EM has some beautiful pastel shades of lilac and pale lemon that will brighten your spirits on even the dreariest spring day.
