As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m loving lavender right now. It feels like the breath of fresh air we need to start the month of March. I realized that the pinker shade is more lilac than lavender so I’ve put together some of my favorites in both shades. If none of these strike your […]

As you know, I travel a lot. I’ve stayed in every conceivable type of hotel from tiny boutiques to five star resorts. I’ve experienced the best and the worst that the hotel industry could dream up. I’ve been known to move furniture and obsess over design details that I wish I could change. I can […]

It’s not quite warm enough for spring clothes in New York yet but the weather is sure to be gorgeous in Charleston when I travel down south for my birthday in April. Funny enough, the new Halsbrook catalog was also photographed in Charleston. The great patterns and colors of their spring fashions look perfectly at […]

I have a degree in art history with a concentration in 18th-century European paintings. I did study the Renaissance and even had to take my senior seminar on “Caravaggio and the Caravaggesque Artists” (I’m still made I didn’t get Gauguin like they did the previous year) but wouldn’t say it’s in my wheelhouse. I’m regretting […]

When I read in the new issue of Architectural Digest that Derek Blasberg moved to the Upper East Side, I was curious if he lived close to me. I’ve never seen him in the neighborhood but he travels so extensively that it wasn’t that surprising. A quick search not only revealed that he does live […]

I need to plan another warm weather getaway since I just received a beautiful new dress from Danielle Fichera.  I love her collections because every one of her pieces is designed with sustainably sourced fabrics and made in the New York garment district. Danielle is known for her use of fil coupé fabric and I […]

I originally planned to just post Lee Radziwill’s Paris apartment to show her interior design style but then I realized it wouldn’t tell the entire story of her design progression. So I made a deep dive into the archives and spent all day Sunday outlining them. Some of her rooms have become iconic and she […]

This week was not as busy as last week due to snow and the ending of fashion week but I still managed to miss a few things. I’m hoping to catch up on some of them over the long holiday weekend. If put a few new stores and events happening around New York, Los Angeles, […]

The same day that I posted Kyle Richards’ Perfect Spring Suit, I saw model Hilary Rhoda wearing this amazing lilac outfit at King to celebrate the spring collection from Zimmermann. I’m obsessed with this shade of lilac for warmer weather but since it’s snowing today you could wear these pieces now with knee high stacked […]

When legendary interior designer Mario Buatta died last year, His last project was just published in Architectural Digest so this seems like the perfect time to remember the cheeky and talented designer. I remember sitting next to him at a dinner at least 10 years ago and being unaware of what was in store for […]

I look forward to seeing the fashion presentation from Adam Lippes each season since he shows at home with beautiful flower arrangements from Putnam and Putnam. There is nothing I love more than the intersection of fashion and interiors his Fall/Winter 2019 collection was inspired by rich rooms of the interior design firm Studio Peregalli. […]

Today was one of the best and busiest days I’ve ever had in New York. It started off with meeting my LA friend Louise Roe at the Ralph Lauren ladies mansion to experience Ralph’s Café and the Spring 2019 collection. You may remember that Ralph’s Coffee is now open at the store but they turned […]

I’ve always known that if I ever need to hire an architect, Gil Schafer would be at the top of the list. I love traditional architecture and his projects always look perfect without looking too new so it’s no wonder his new office has that same feeling. You can read all about it on ArchitecturalDigest.com. […]

It’s not spring yet but it feels like it in New York. What a difference a week makes. The lovely weather is making me think about how to transition to warmer temperatures and Kyle Richards gave me a lot of inspiration when she appeared on Live with Kelly and Ryan this morning. The dusty pink […]

It was raining when I visited the Kips Bay Show House in Palm Beach and Peter Dunham‘s room looked like the perfect place for rainy day activities. The Los Angeles based designer upholstered the walls in his Collage fabric from Peter Dunham Textiles, upholstered the sofa in his Souk fabric, and grounded the room with […]

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Broshahan is the new face of Frances Valentine, the line created by her late aunt Kate Spade. The synergy couldn’t be more perfect. Rachel not only looks like her aunt but the fashions and accessories remind me of pieces that Mrs. Maisel would wear around New York and the […]

So let’s look at the very flattering peachy pink colored bedroom suite designed by Danielle Rollins for the Kips Bay Show House Palm Beach. She said she was inspired by the Florida sunset […]
