This has been a trying year to say the least but it’s given many of us time to pause and realize what we have to be grateful for now. This year and every year, I am thankful for all my loyal blog readers and Instagram followers. I am also grateful for all the lovely people […]
Long time readers know that grey is my go to color for fall and winter since it’s the perfect complement for my hair color and doesn’t show lint like black does. It also pairs well with tan, brown, burgundy, navy, and black. November is also when I pay homage to my favorite shades of grey […]

The time before Thanksgiving is usually full of meal prep and excitement but this year is obviously feeling much different. I’ve put together some new shows and openings to keep your mind off the news. I couldn’t finish season three of The Crown because I thought Olivia Coleman was overdoing it as the Queen but […]
I’m lucky that we have so many wonderful places to visit within driving distance of New York City. One of the most buzzed about is the Mayflower Inn and Spa in Washington, Connecticut which I was lucky enough to stay at for a weekend earlier this month. The classic 35-room hotel which is part of […]
The Net-a-Porter sale started today and there is a large selection of fashions, bags, shoes, accessories, jewelry, beauty products, and kidswear on sale up to 50% off. I placed my order early this morning and I suggest you do the same before your favorite pieces sell out. Vince belted checked brushed wool-blend coat Two-tone cable-knit sweater Silk […]
This second holiday gift guide was supposed to be posted last Friday but I just didn’t have time to work on it before my weekend trip to the Mayflower Inn and Spa. I’m happy that so many of you enjoyed the first one and I hope your gift recipients will be happy too. The embroidered […]
One good thing to come out of this terrible year is the new Jil Sander Uniqlo Collection. The Evening Standard calls it, “A hit of luxury on a budget from the queen of minimalism” and I have to agree. Although, the prices aren’t inexpensive, the quality of the double faced wool coats looks very expensive. […]
It’s raining in New York so it feels like the perfect time to escape virtually to Provence to take a look at Les Ramades, the Provence home of Betty and François Catroux. It was on the market last year for $11.5 Million because François wanted to be near the sea and had bought a place […]
If you are looking for something to distract you from the election vote count, I highly recommend The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. It stars Anya Taylor Joy, who you might remember from EMMA, as “orphaned chess prodigy Beth Harmon who struggles with addiction in a quest to become the greatest chess player in the world.” […]
Most of my ancestors came to America from England in the 17th-century. Sometimes, I think about what my life would be like if they hadn’t left. Would I have a lovely accent and live in house filled with chintz ? I sort of wish I was in this heavenly house in Hampshire right now instead […]
I wrote the post Outfits Inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s Wardrobe on The Morning Show almost exactly a year ago and I keep thinking about how much of what Jennifer’s character, Alex Levy, wears would be perfect for working from home. When I first posted about her outfits, I scoured the internet to find the exact […]
I know some of you will think this holiday gift guide is too early and others will be excited so you can start shopping now. I’m posting a week earlier than usual because retailers are worried about shipping delays as more people than ever will be shopping online for gifts this year. Many friends and […]
I had such a nice time in Newport, Rhode Island recently and inspired many followers to plan their own trips. But I know many of you can’t travel now so I thought I would post a virtual visit to The Breakers for you. It was interesting to visit the mansions during the pandemic and one […]
We’ve had some beautiful weather this October and I made sure I went out for walks on all the sunny days. It was so nice to see so many homeowners and businesses decorate for fall and Halloween. The city is bustling and seems back to normal which feels so good. I can’t wait to see […]
I think it’s finally going to be cold enough to wear my heavy sweaters this week and this one is the one I look forward to wearing most of all. Wait until you find out how much the clutch costs too. Structured Shoulder Cable Knit Sweater – This sweater is the perfect update to the traditional […]
I’m excited for this week because there are a few new movies debuting online including Rebecca on Netflix today, On the Rocks on Apple TV on Friday, and The Undoing on HBO on Sunday. I watched the adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier’s novel Rebecca today starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, and Kristin Scott Thomas […]
I was wondering if Net-a-Porter was going to have a sale this fall and their Friends and Family Sale was worth the wait. There are so many great pieces that are 25% off in their special edit and you don’t need a code to save. The discount is automatically applied when you add the item […]
When my friend and I visited the Berkshires in August, we stopped by the Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. I posted on Instagram that designers should visit since I found the simplicity of design and color choices infinitely inspiring. It looks like one of them actually took my advice. Tory Burch photographed her Spring […]
British fashion designer Peter Copping mentioned to me a few months back that he and his French husband Rambert Rigaud were creating a home line named after their beloved 15th-century manor house in Normandy. La Carlière has just been featured in the Financial Times How to Spend It and it’s just as good as I suspected. The […]
