I’m arrived in Sag Harbor today for much needed getaway. It’s my favorite place in the Hamptons and always makes me so happy.  I already checked out the new Jayson Home Pop Up Shop, Bloom, and all the charming houses along Main Street. I’m staying at Baron’s Cove again which has also become a favorite place […]

I had France on the brain after yesterday’s chateau post and so did One Kings Lane.  They posted an entire feature on the Secrets of French Decorating and I’m picking out my favorite pieces for to add a Parisian chic touch to your home.

It’s wedding season and another big fashion wedding is taking place in Capri this weekend. Yesterday, Italian fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia married Swedish real estate developer Oscar Englebert in a frothy Alexander McQueen gown.  The celebrations will continue tonight with another big party that promises to be over the top.  You can follow all the fun at […]

I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve done most of my recent shopping online. When I found myself with some extra time on Madison Avenue yesterday, I decided to take a stroll through Barneys. I’m really glad I did because I found some great pieces on sale from Gabriela Hearst. Her pieces are all inspired […]

I was just in Connecticut last week admiring the houses and today I found another one to lust after on One Kings Lane. Brett Heyman is the founder of the accessories buyer Edie Parker and while her family has a modern apartment in the city that matches her brand, her family’s house in Connecticut is […]

The Ritz Paris finally reopened this Monday after a four year renovation project by the French architect and designer Thierry Despont. As he told The New York Times,“It needed a redo, but maintaining its essence and strong identity was essential, and my vision was to keep the Ritz exactly as it was but better.” The […]

If you’re looking for a summer read that’s more interesting than the usual chick lit and very hard to put down, I highly recommend Lesley M.M. Blume’s new book Everybody Behaves Badly. Lesley and I were Instagram friends before randomly meeting in January at the Chateau Marmont when I was in Los Angeles she and her family had […]

I’ve seen glimpses of Who What Wear co-founder Katherine Power’s home on her Instagram account but it was nice to see a full house tour on designer Jenni Kayne‘s blog Rip & Tan this weekend. The neutral color palette reminds me of Katherine’s wardrobe and she tells Jenni that her home style and persona style “are […]

Drive de Cartier

Father’s Day is two weeks away. If you haven’t thought about what to get the father in your life, I highly suggest the new Drive de Cartier watch. It’s so chic, I actually wouldn’t mind owning it myself. While it’s a new design, the elegant styling means that it’s poised to become another classic Carier watch […]

I’ve seen the home of Washington, DC based interior design Darryl Carter before but I’m loving the new in depth look on One Kings Lane today. While the decor is mostly neutral, it is definitely not boring due to the mix of antiques and interesting objects. Just check out the headless horse in the entry. […]

Wedding of the Year

05 . 30 . 16

While most of my Instagram feed this weekend was filled with holiday weekend festivities in the US, the rest was focused on a gorgeous wedding that will definitely be hard to top this year. Lady Charlotte Wellesley married Alejandro Santo Domingo in Granada, Spain. The British bride’s father is the 9th Duke of Wellington, descendent of […]

Victoria Hagan‘s Grand American Salon living room at the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House marks her return to the show house after many years away. It feels like a modern interpretation of her blue and white beach house rooms that is perfect for city life. The inspiration was one of her own Instagram photos […]

The weather is finally heating up and I’m sweating just thinking about the temperature hitting 90 degrees today. But have no fear, the 11-piece beachwear Hatch Plage Collection will keep you cool all summer. (Plage means beach in French.) Founder Ariane Goldman was inspired this season by a trip to Marrakech with her husband last […]

The color that I kept seeing all over Italy during my fall 2015 trip was green. So it’s no wonder that Sawyer Berson‘s Italian inspired Petit Salon at the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House is also green. It’s a nod to infinitely inspiring Villa Necchi in Milan which I also visited during my travels. The […]

While I was in Peru, my friend David Lawrence posted Instagram photos from The Row‘s new store at 17 East 71st Street in New York. Lucky for me, it’s located in my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and I can’t wait to stop by this week. As you know, there is nothing I love more […]
