As we all know, Thanksgiving is as much about food as it is about giving thanks. My kitchen is the size of a wet bar so obviously I won’t be doing the cooking this year. I dream of having a normal sized kitchen which is why I’m always pinning them on Pinterest. I also love […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And I’m not talking about the holidays! The biannual Net-a-Porter sale has started and I’ve picked out all my favorite pieces to create four seasonal mix and match outfits to help get you started on your shopping. I love the color of this blue oversized wool-blend bouclé […]
It’s no surprise that interior designer Ken Fulk‘s book was titled Mr. Ken Fulk’s Magical World because he really is a magician. No where is this more apparent that his newest creation the Saint Joseph’s Arts Society in an old historic church San Francisco that sat empty since an earthquake. The private arts and social club has […]
Today I heard there are only 39 days until Christmas. I’m definitely not ready and if you aren’t either, we have our first favorite things gift guide of the season to help get you started on your shopping. I love this set of 4 Aerin Holiday Salad Plates. They would make a great gift with […]
I love old houses and especially those in the United Kingdom. I realized recently it’s probably because they usually stay in one family for hundreds of years so each generation adds something that gives them a collected look rather than a decorated one. It’s even more amazing that one actually decorated by the legendary interior […]
I love seeing my favorite people on Instagram have their homes featured in a magazine. I posted about Jack Laver Brister two years ago in my post Instagram Chic: Trad Chap and now his home in Frome, Somerset in England that he shares with his partner Richard Nares can be seen in House & Garden. It’s the […]
Aerin Lauder and her brand Aerin Beauty have partnered with Colombian fashion designer, Johanna Ortiz, to create an exclusive lipstick and beauty bag collection in botanical and bug prints inspired by Colombia. The three lipstick colors include a neutral, a bright orangey coral, and, a perfect red color in patterned packaging that would make a […]
It’s a busy and fun time in New York right now. There are a lot of chic events, exhibitions, and store openings that you should definitely check out this weekend. Goop has had pop ups in New York and the Hamptons but they have just opened Goop Lab, a permanent store at 25 Bond Street. […]
The holidays are coming up whether we’re ready for them or not. If you’re overwhelmed by the prospect of finding presents for everyone on your list, there is no better place to start than Mark and Graham. Many of their pieces made it into my holiday gift guides last year and will again this year. […]
Long time readers know that I wear a lot of grey fashions in the fall and winter. The color looks good against my honey/caramel hair and it’s not as harsh as black. It also shows a lot less lint. While I’ve already been wearing grey sweaters, I have just pulled out my heavier grey wool […]
Every fall, I try to put off wearing boots as long as possible since I know I’ll be wearing them until March. There are much colder temperatures forecast for this weekend and even possible snow flurries coming soon so I don’t think I can put them off much longer. I’ve been adding a few new […]
While I was in Philadelphia this weekend, one of the places I made Heidi Wynne visit with me was the nation’s oldest residential street, Elfreth’s Alley. The street dates to 1702 where thirty-two Federal and Georgian residences built from 1728-1836, stand as reminders of the early days of Philadelphia. We weren’t the only ones interested in […]
This week has been exhausting so I’m looking forward to getting away to Philadelphia this weekend. I haven’t been to the City of Brotherly Love since college so I can’t wait to experience all the city has to offer just a quick train ride away from New York City. Heidi Wynne moved to Philadelphia a […]
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the new One Kings Lane store in the downtown Soho neighborhood of New York. The store doesn’t officially open to the public until Friday, November 2nd but many people already were trying to open the door to get inside to shop. Once you look through my photos, you’ll […]
The holidays are quickly approaching and that means lots of entertaining of friends and family. To get your home ready for guests, there is no better place to shop than Walmart. They have a wide range of furniture and home decor products such as sofas, coffee tables, and bar carts, that work with any interior […]
When I invited to Charlottesville at the end of September, it seemed serendipitous since I had already been looking into trips to Virginia to tour Monticello, the home of statesman Thomas Jefferson. I added a few days onto the trip and made plans to visit with interior designer Andrew Brown. He wasn’t going to arrive […]
As you know, I love the French fashion brand Sézane but did you know they also have a brother brand for men? Octobre Editions began one October day with the simple idea, “to get back to the basics of menswear, the distinctive pieces that are always needed and that we take so much pleasure in […]
We’re having a Nor’easter of all day rain in New York today. Perfect time to bake my family’s famous pumpkin cookies. They’re soft and delicious and you can edit the ingredients to suit your tastes too. Pumpkin Cookies 1 cup sugar 1 cup canned pumpkin ½ cup room temperature butter 1 tablespoon grated orange peel […]
While I love English manor houses, they aren’t exactly practical for most people which is why I love rectories, vicarages, and parsonages. They are the smaller homes that were reserved for members of the clergy located next to the local church. Since they are a more manageable size, they are usually more relatable and offer […]
