One person who I think wears black well and makes minimalism look interesting is street style favorite Isabelle Kountoure. She is an editor with a German and Greek background who has great personal style. Her shorter hair cut is something I may also have to show my stylist. I’m flying back to NYC today, so […]
As the weather cools down and the rain returns, I find myself reaching for anything black in my closet. It’s the color that many wear in Milan which is where I’m returning today so in that honor, I give you a compilation of the absence of color.
After being unplugged for a few days, I’m back in business in Florence. Before I highlight a few of the things I’ve done so far, I do want to address my last post. I think there comes a time on every traveler’s journey where they lose their “stuff” so to speak. My time came in Rome. […]
I arrived in Rome this afternoon but wish I had gone straight to Florence. The Hotel Locarno has turned out to be a huge disappointment. I will never stay here again. There is barely any wifi and I can’t get any work accomplished and no one really seems cares. This will teach me never to go […]
Buongiorno from Venice! I apologize for a lack of post yesterday but the wifi in our hotel isn’t working. Normale. I’ll try to write a post from the high speed train to Rome on Friday or after I arrive in the Eternal City. In the meantime, I suggest you follow along on Instagram where I’l be […]
I’m off on the train to Venice today. Until I have time to write a post, I suggest you check out this very chic apartment in Paris designed by Studio Ko. It was featured in T magazine this weekend. I love that you can read it online like the real magazine if you happen to […]
I’m currently wrapping up my whirlwind trip to Milan and will be heading to Venice Monday morning. I’ve seen so many beautiful things in Milan and had a really great time and will hopefully blog about them soon. I remember reading this interesting article on Dr. Boardman’s site Positive Prescription about how just the anticipation of a trip can […]
I was already working on a post of writer and editor J.J. Martin’s Milan home when I was invited to a party last night to celebrate the launch of her new La Double J Editions dress collection with Mantero at Potafiori with Matches Fashion. The long seasonless dress comes in seven vintage patterns from Mantero’s archives. The […]
Now that autumn is here, I can’t wait to wear my favorite fisherman knit sweaters. I think most people wear them with jeans but I love the idea of pairing one with an ivory skirt or wide leg trousers as seen in the WSJ. magazine above (Coach, Carolina Herrera, and Max Mara). The October 2015 […]
I’m off to the airport to catch my Alitalia flight to Italy tonight, the same airline that Pope Francis arrived in yesterday. I was a little sad to be missing the Pope’s visit to New York until I found out he’s staying on East 72nd Street. Between his visit, the UN General Assembly, and the President […]
I was very excited to read this morning that Amanda Brooks’ blog I Love Your Style (also the name of her first book) is back up and running. Amanda is one of my favorite Instagram friends and I love following her not so new life on Fairgreen Farm in England. Her blog would delve more […]
All of my trips run more smoothly when I plan out my outfits in advance but it’s even more important for my trip to Italy. I’ll be arriving in Milan for fashion week which will include lots of shows and events. Then I will travel on to Venice, Rome, and Florence.The weather will fluctuate from the 50’s […]
Fall officially starts on Wednesday and there is already a little chill in the air. While I love spring, autumn is New York’s best season. I can’t wait for the leaves to turn and the light to lower. Here’s a little inspiration to get you excited too. All photos from tumblr and Pinterest.
It’s been unseasonably warm in New York this week so I am still wearing my summer dresses. I hope it cools off soon so I can finally start wearing jeans but the weather didn’t stop many from wearing denim during fashion week. Mira Duma, above, made it her uniform. I especially love those who dressed up their […]
My final show each fashion week is Ralph Lauren. I like to think of it as saving the best for last and it always ends the week on a high note. While the red, white, and blue color palette might seem all American, the lyrics that played while Mr. Lauren took his bow was “I love […]
As Hatch Collection founder Ariane Goldman says, “Your style should be your companion through it all…effortless through everything: before, during and after.” And there is nothing more effortless than the Hatch Collection for fall. I love the cozy knitwear and relaxed dresses that can all be layered and even belted for those without a bump. The […]
I can’t think of a chicer way to start a Monday than attending the Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2016 runway show at The Frick Collection. It was the perfect venue and the intimate space meant that every attendee had a front row seat. I was able to see all the pleating details and embroidery up close as well as […]
I absolutely love Merchant Ivory films so it’s not surprising that I would love the home that the duo shared in Hudson, New York. They bought the 1805 Federal 19-room home built for Jacob Rutsen Van Rensselaerin 1975 for about $105,000. It’s filled with furniture and mementos from Merchant Ivory films such as Jefferson in Paris and […]
The reaction to my bow tie blouse post was definitely mixed. I think some people had a hard imagining how they would wear one. I would wear the blouse with jeans and a blazer exactly like the outfit in this photo. Except for maybe the over the knee boots which make everyone look like a pirate. It’s […]
Most of you know that One Kings Lane sells chicly curated furniture and accessories online but I’m sure not as many know that you can now shop the One Kings Lane Studio in person in New York. The Studio is a new showroom located at their Hudson Street headquarters set up like a large apartment which […]
