Nice was the subject of paintings for many famous artists including Raoul Dufy and Henri Matisse. I’m sure they would be just heartbroken as the rest of us at the recent attack on people just trying to enjoy a Bastille Day evening of fireworks. Here are a few Matisse paintings of Nice as a tribute to the city. […]
As you know, I love visiting the flea markets in New York and Paris. I love searching for vintage treasures and antiques but I don’t have the time to go that often. (That’s my gallery wall of art above.) Now flea market style comes to me, and you, in the form of online estate sales […]
While the Peruvian Connection fashions I saw being photographed in Peru in May won’t be in online and in store until later this year, the Fall 2016 collection is available now. It’s filled with pima cotton and baby Alpaca pieces that will perfectly transition to cooler temperatures. While the exact coat above won’t be available […]
When I first saw photos of this apartment, I thought it was in Paris. Turns out it is actually located in Warsaw and was gut renovated and designed by Marta Chrapka of Colombe Design for a French lawyer who was relocating to Poland. While the backdrop is neutral like a French apartment, there is a lot […]
One of my favorite Instagram accounts is by fashion designer Remy Renzullo so I was very excited to see a profile on his Chelsea apartment on Vogue.com. He shares the space with his boyfriend Julian Taffel who works at Sotheby’s and has another great Instagram account to follow. Together they’ve created a deeply personal old […]
We have officially entered the dog days of summer in New York. The hazy, hot, and humid weather is going to wreak havoc on everyone’s hair but I have some tips and tricks to give your do a fighting chance. The first place to start is with a good hair cut. I’m currently looking for […]

I wear dresses all summer but after seeing The Duchess of Cambridge looking gorgeous at Royal Ascot in a beautiful white lace dress recently, I think I need to add one to my wardrobe. Usually everything she wears sells out immediately but since this one is a little more on the expensive side, so the exact dress […]
My friend Tim and I decided to check out the new hotel 11 Howard while we were in Soho last week. Part of the hotel includes the new restaurant Le Coucou which is collaboration between chef Daniel Rose of Spring and La Bourse et La Vie in Paris and famed restaurateur Stephen Starr of Starr Restaurants. I […]
One of the main reasons I went to Sag Harbor recently was to visit the new Jayson Home pop up shop at 3 Madison Street. The Jayson Home in Chicago is one of my favorite stores and it is such a treat to have them on the East Coast this year. The old whaling and supply store is packed […]
My dear friend Michelle Adams is having a huge One Kings Lane sale of pieces from her former homes and new furniture collection that are perfect for summer decorating. There are also a lot of great images of her beautiful new home in Michigan too. Happy shopping!
While I loved the elegant nuptials of Lady Charlotte Wellesley and Alejandro Santo Domingo in Granada, Spain in my post Wedding of the Year, I also appreciate a more simple affair. That’s why I loved the small English country wedding of jewelry designer Bibi van der Velden and Thomas de Haas just featured on Vogue. But the most important take away […]
While I was looking for a website for Will Kopelman yesterday (never did find one), I came across a feature from AD on his amazing home office suite that also includes a very chic dressing room and bathroom. The office area looks modern with white resin floors and touches of traditional furniture and art while […]
Jill Kargman is on a media blitz to promote the second season of her television show Odd Mom Out. The show is a little too over the top for me but what I do love is her apartment. Vogue just posted a few photos and the gallery wall of art by iLevel is right up […]
I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since we returned from our whirlwind trip to Peru. Peruvian Connection was kind enough to invite us down to experience their 40th anniversary photo shoot and visit Machu Picchu. Founder Annie Hurlbut has been going to Peru for over 40 years so we couldn’t have asked for a […]
Pitti Uomo, the bi-annual menswear trade show, just finished in Florence which means lots of street style photos have hit the internet. In honor of Father’s Day, here are some of my favorites from GQ photographed by Dan Roberts.
I posted these photo of bespoke tailer Kirk Miller of Miller’s Oath and his son Grey Miller on Father’s Day three years ago and they definitely deserve a repost. Alice and Kirk moved their family of five to Montecito last year so I don’t see them as often now. I couldn’t believe Grey how much taller and older Grey […]
It feels like the tide is turning. Women who aren’t stick thin supermodels or the usual celebrities are starting to grace the covers of magazines. No where is this more exiting than the July 2016 issue of Vogue with comedienne, writer, and filmmaker Amy Schumer featured on the cover and inside with photos by Annie Leibovitz. Her […]
When I was out in Sag Harbor in April, you may remember that I had the opportunity to visit Steven Gambrel‘s gorgeous project at 42 Howard Street in person. I just found out that the house is still for sale and will be having an open house on Friday, June 17th from 2;30-4:30pm. I posted photos […]
