I came across P. Johnson Femme tailors on Instagram today and immediately fell in love with their chic jackets as well as their look book that was photographed in Paris. The collection of single and double breasted blazers and trousers are part of the women’s tailoring line from P. Johnson Tailors for men who are […]
Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend! I know a lot of people will be leaving the city this weekend but there are a lot of things happening for those who have decided to stay or those who will be visiting. I’m not really that into orchids but Jeff Leatham, famed artistic director of the […]
After writing this blog for 12.5 years, I’ve seen a lot of amazing properties but I don’t think any of them have blown me away as much as Mount Algidus featured in the October 2015 issue of House and Garden magazine. The beautiful home is located on a spectacularly isolated 53,000-acre cattle station on New […]
Interior designer Suzanne Kasler was tasked with designing the Great Room in the 2020 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach but the room was far from great when she first saw it. The large double-height asymmetrical room was devoid of architectural details and light. “What was great about the space was the volume, […]
Although it’s freezing in New York today, I’m dreaming of spring. Since I work for myself, I don’t have to dress up every day so jeans are a staple for my day to day wardrobe. When it’s still chilly, I pair them with a cashmere sweater, wool coat, and sneakers. When it warms up a […]
The 1978 film Interiors was on TCM tonight. I find it terribly depressing but interiors make it worth watching. It struck me that the interiors of this Hancock Park house decorated by interior designer Christos Prevezanos and featured on ArchitecturalDigest.com has a similar neutral palette and paneling. It feels like this is the house they […]
Last night, I attended the most festive party to celebrate the new collaboration between Aerin Beauty and Love Shack Fancy. It was fun to see the dresses and products in person before they officially launched today. The highlight of the evening though was meeting the owner of Le Mas des Poiriers which is where the collaboration […]
Make sure you pick up the March 2020 issue of The World of Interiors to see the chic Normandy home of Tory Burch. The manor actually belonged to her new French husband Pierre-Yves Roussel but left a lot to be desired so Tory turned to Robert Kime to help pull it together. I was a […]
This is one of my favorite photos I’ve taken in Paris because it shows how you can wear sneakers with different outfits and at different ages and still look chic. When I first moved to New York, sneakers were not a thing you wore outside of the gym. It was all about freezing in bare […]
We’ve made it through January. It was the longest month ever but I have a feeling February will fly by so I’ve pulled together a few things happening now and later in the month to give you time to plan ahead. Don’t forget that The Winter Show will be close on Sunday, February 2, 2020. […]
January, the month that feels like it has lasted for a year, ends on Friday. That means that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’ve put together a gift guide filled with presents for your friends, family, or yourself. The top images is from Max Sinsteden of the Valentine’s Day cookies he made from […]
I love seeing the Atelier Vime wicker furniture at their 18th-century hôtel particulier but it was nice to see their pieces in an apartment in Saint-Germain during Paris Design Week. It shows that you can incorporate wicker into any type of interior and mix it with different design styles. After touring the apartment of the […]
We had a look at the Captain Osborne Edwards House at 27 Suffolk Street in Sag Harbor in 2018 when it was listed for sale and via photos on Instagram. The six bedroom home designed by Steven Gambrel was just posted to his portfolio so now we have a full look at the beautiful home. […]
The winter sales are still going strong but I fear the end is near. MatchesFashion has 20% off a wide selection of sale merchandise and Net-a-Porter just added 20% off to more of their “Sale Must Haves”. I’ve picked out some of my favorite pieces that still have a numerous sizes left in case you […]
Every January has a date designated as Blue Monday. It signifies a day when holiday celebrations are over, the weather is cold and dreary, and credit card bills for the gifts are due. It also doesn’t have to be a depressing day if you don’t let it. It’s a bank holiday for many people so […]
I didn’t plan a trip for this long holiday weekend and I’m kicking myself now that the temperature has dropped and snow is on the way. I’m going to use the indoor time to get caught up on work and watch movies. When the weather clears, I look forward to finally trying Veronika (above) the […]
People love to hate on gallery walls. Sometimes rightly so. If they are put together with artwork that has been collected from different periods with beautiful gilt frames and French mating, the result can be quite elegant. Such is the case with the apartment that Richard Rabel renovated and decorated for Alan Wintermute, a specialist […]
I was first seated next to interior designer Mario Buatta at an event over ten years ago. He couldn’t have been more excited to have a fresh person to surprise with his fake cockroach prank. Decorating should be fun and it was refreshing that he didn’t take it all so seriously even though he worked […]
What a week. It started out fine but went downhill quickly when my wifi stopped working. This resulted in multiple appointments to get it repaired which then culminated in a technician drilling a hole through my front apartment wall to run a new line into my apartment. I think this means my ongoing internet connection […]
The number one New Year’s resolution every year is to lose weight. Research says that it takes three weeks to form a new habit so keep that in mind as you begin a new workout plan. Even the smallest step in the right direction helps. Experts agree that even just five minutes a day to […]
