I love that Architectural Digest has started posting homes “from the archives” none more so than Ralph Lauren’s Bedford mansion. I’m off to an early Monday morning meeting but you can read all about the home here and here.

Roman and Williams designed Le Coucou, the most photographed restaurant on Instagram right now and I forgot that they designed Lafayette in my last post. They have also recently designed a new hotel on Nantucket island called Greydon House. The 20-room luxury hotel is located 17 Broad Street and was originally built in the 1850’s. They set about “preserving the history and […]
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a dinner party with Everything but the House (EBTH) to help celebrate the launch of their online estate sales in New York. A lot of thought went into all the table top details and the guest list and I enjoyed working closely with my dear friend Andrea Stanford […]
October’s the month When the smallest breeze Gives us a shower Of autumn leaves. Bonfires and pumpkins, Leaves sailing down — October is red And golden and brown. ~Author unknown
I first posted the street style of Giorgia Tordini three years ago and it’s been interesting to see how her look has evolved over the past few years.

Chic French designer Joseph Dirand wanted the […]

When I changed over my closet from summer to fall recently, I decided to sell a few pieces I no longer wear on Vestiaire. Unlike any other luxury resale site, Vestiaire authenticates every piece at their headquarters before it is sent to the buyer so you can rest assured that your purchase is the real deal. […]
As you know, my dream is to buy and renovate a French chateau someday. Galerie Flore owner Flore de Brantes inherited her chateau from her father but that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done. As she tells Architectural Digest in their October 2016 issue, “With a château, there is always a project.” She and […]
The weather has finally turned cooler which means it’s the perfect time to curl up in cozy knits and cashmere from Hatch Collection. For fall, Hatch was inspired by Parisian chic style and even photographed their collection in the City of Light. But the brand works as well in the country as it does in […]
A vicarage in England has traditionally been the residence of the vicar or parish priest. They’ve since become home to lay people and many interior designers. Since they are much smaller than a typical English manor home, they lend themselves to a more relaxed and comfortable style. While I was on the House & Garden UK […]

One of my friends worked for Robert Duffy, the founder and deputy chairman of Marc Jacobs International, for many years so I always love seeing his home featured in magazines. His latest is Ferncliff Estate, an old Astor estate near Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley that is in the October 2016 issue of Elle Decor. He […]
Fashion week just ended in New York and there was a lot of great street style this season. One chic trend that appeared were tan clutches and bags. This classic color is perfect for fall so here are a couple of options if you don’t already have one in your closet. Loewe T Large Pouch […]
After years of bi-coastal living, Chance designer Julia Leach finally decided to give up her New York apartment and move to Venice, California. Any New Yorker who tells you they don’t think about moving somewhere else is totally lying. We all think about it, especially when it involves sunshine and fresh air. Julia didn’t waste […]
