Going to California

02 . 03 . 16

I am very excited to be traveling to sunny and warm California today. I’m starting off in Los Angeles for a few days. The last time I was in LA was three years ago. It rained that entire trip and I think I was so traumatized that I haven’t been back since. I’m really looking […]

Gilt Trip

02 . 01 . 16

I enjoy traveling but not the packing and mad dash to finish work before leaving. While I take care of all those last minute details, I leave you with this beautiful home of Plume Voyage magazine editor Capucine Gougenheim-Geagea. The Haussmann apartment in Paris was featured in Cote Maison and has gorgeous gilt boiseries and and an enviable art […]

I usually don’t post a red carpet recap of the SAG Awards since they sometimes seem a bit of a hot mess but not this year. There were so many great looks starting with Saiorse Ronan looking pretty in pink Michael Kors. I think she looked effortlessly beautiful with perfect hair and makeup too. I’m wondering […]

Perfectly Flat

01 . 29 . 16

I happened to stop into the uptown Madewell store yesterday after a meeting and fell in love with these two tone d’orsay Lydia Flats. They would be perfect for my trip to California next week. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in the store so I have to pick them up downtown this weekend. They […]

The Haute Couture shows have ended in Paris and of course the street style looks were very chic.  I don’t wear much navy blue but I might have to start after seeing some of these looks. C’est magnifique!

I’m headed to Paris again this March for fashion week and will once again be renting an apartment from Haven in Paris.  I usually stay in Saint Germain but I’m excited to be staying on the Place des Vosges in the Marais this year for a change of pace. While this is not the apartment […]

Sunny Days

01 . 26 . 16

The sun is shining and the snow is melting. Perfect time for J.Crew to launch their new line of sunglasses. There are six different frame styles for women and three for men ranging in price from $98 to $128. A perfect little present to buy yourself to get through the end of winter.

Every time you think Chanel can’t possibly get any more creative with their fashion shows, they manage to surprise you. The Chanel Haute Couture show at the Grand Palais today featured a very zen Japanese looking house and garden. The structure was closed during the show but opened up at the end to reveal all the models […]

I was reading something online that declared the last Monday in January to be the most depressing day of the year. It seemed a little silly until I woke up to discover four foot snow drifts and slush piles on every corner. If you are feeling blue, here are some images that might actually cheer […]

Andy Spade at Auction

01 . 24 . 16

If you’re still trapped at home due to the blizzard and have already exhausted all your usual online shopping sites, I suggest you check out Any Spade’s auction on Paddle8. He and Kate have sold their Southampton home and have decided to sell some of the contents instead of storing them. “I don’t like not […]

Chic in Sundance

01 . 23 . 16

I’m enjoying the blizzard in my cozy apartment but this house in Sundance, Utah looks like the perfect place to ride out a snowstorm and do some skiing. It belongs to Ralph Lauren executive Buffy Birrittella and was featured along with her Hamptons home in the October 2015 issue of Elle Decor. Birrittella was one of […]

Chic in Sweden

01 . 20 . 16

I came across the photo above on Pinterest and immediately wanted to see more of this home. Turns out it belongs to former model and stylist Malin Persson and her family and was featured on The Way We Play. They had been living in Rome for many years when she and her husband Damiano decided to […]

Fashion favorite Emerson Fry is moving warehouses and have decided to put everything on sale so they don’t have to move it to their new location. The entire site is discounted 50-70% and you can find some amazing deals. There are even lots of coats still available for this winter. Once the inventory is gone, you […]

Palazzo Fendi

01 . 17 . 16

Perhaps I would have enjoyed Rome more last autumn if I had been able to stay at the ridiculously chic Fendi Private Suites Hotel featured in the new WSJ magazine out next weekend. The luxury fashion house moved its corporate headquarters and reconfigured the 17th-century Palazzo Fendi with three separate architecture firms to create the boutique hotel, their largest store, an […]

After looking at photos of men in Los Angeles who all looked like bearded hipster auto mechanics, I was delighted to find these street style photos of men actually looking like gentlemen at London Fashion Week on GQ. It gives me hope but I’m still concerned about those men in LA. “You can never be […]

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is the title of a 1974 movie staring Ellen Burstyn who plans to travel from New Mexico to California with her son to live. She never makes it but my dear friend Alice Ryan Miller and her family have successfully made the move from New York to Montecito, California. It was the […]

I’ve accompanied one of my friends to the Cartier boutique three times to try on their timeless Tank Watch.  While I was there I couldn’t help but try one on myself which now means I want one too. The Cartier Tank watch was not the first wrist watch designed by the French jewelry house but it […]

The Golden Globes mix television and movie stars at tables which alcohol which always makes it feel like the most fun awards show. It starts off the season and gives us an idea of who might win the Sag Awards and Oscars. It also gives us an idea of who we can count on to […]

Film Frenzy

01 . 10 . 16

Awards Season starts in full force tonight with the Golden Globes. I’ve seen a few of the films and performances nominated which makes me more excited to see who wins. I saw Brooklyn yesterday with Saoirse Ronan and absolutely loved the sweet coming of age immigrant story set in Brooklyn and Ireland. Joy is a bit […]

One of the most popular new year’s resolutions is to clean out the closet. I really wanted to get my two closets organized over the holidays but I was just too busy. I was feeling bad about not getting to them when I read today that Mercury just went into retrograde and it’s the best time for […]
