If you are looking for a last minute holiday gift for someone you know or yourself, let me recommend presents from my friend Heidi Wynne.  She is generously offering HC readers 30% off her fabulous entire site including cashmere scarves and sweaters and even her straw bags and resort pieces perfect for a warm weather vacation […]

  I found this image on Pinterest and of course had to find the rest of the house. While it is in the Swedish Style, it is actually a home in Houston designed by Katrin Cargill Interiors. There is something about it that reminds me of Swan House which I posted earlier this week.  I […]

The annual highly anticipated Net-a-Porter Sale is now up to 70% off. There are still many amazing pieces still available so I thought it would be fun to create a few outfits to highlight a few of my favorites. The first outfit is a day look for a not so cold climate or one you […]

I was looking for holiday images when I came across photos of Christmas at Swan House.  Some show the gorgeous decorations that Dan Carithers created that were featured in an old issue of Southern Accents and some are new. They are all spectacular and make me want to book a trip to Atlanta asap. Since […]

There was no question that interior designer Ryan Korban would be the perfect person to write a luxury holiday gift guide. He is known for his glamorous interiors not just for the home but for retail stores such as Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. What I love most is that his look is sexy and elegant […]

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style In the air There’s a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights […]

I really thought I would be feeling better by now but I’m still sick. I’m starting to have cabin fever from staying home more than usual but I’m also having real cabin fever.  Pinterest was full of snowy winter cabins this morning that had me wishing I was visiting one this holiday season. It also […]

I know many of you will be visiting New York for the holidays so make sure you add The Polo Bar at Ralph Lauren to your must visit list.  It doesn’t open until next week but if it’s anything like the Ralph Lauren restaurants in Chicago and Paris, it will be a hit. The New York […]

It’s rainy, cold and grey in New York today. It matches my winter wardrobe, the mood in the city, and this color compilation post. Enjoy. Outfit in first photos via J.Crew. Stainless Steel and Rose Gold Rolex from 1962 via 1stdibs. Christian Dior

The day after I thought about asking my friend Alice Ryan Miller to contribute ideas for a children’s gift guide, she announced that she was pregnant with her third child with husband Kirk Miller. Talk about serendipity. Alice and Kirk have an precious six year old son Grey and an adorable two year old daughter […]

I’m back from Art Basel but battling a nasty cold.  Makes me wish I had stayed in sunny and warm Miami.  While I rest up and recover, I’m leaving you with a few pics of my trip. But I will have another lovely gift guide for you on Monday morning.

As someone who studied art history, I obviously have a love of everything artistic.  I will admit that even I don’t understand some contemporary art though. My visit to Art Basel has opened my eyes to many new artists and galleries.  I hope to recap my trip soon and introduce you to some of what […]

For some reason, I thought I would be able to get work done while I am in Miami.  I see how silly that was now.  Things have been crazy here so I will resume with my holiday gift guides on Sunday when I’m back in New York. Until then, I leave you with this amazing […]

I’m still recovering from my first full day at Art Basel.  I saw some amazing art and pretty much everyone from New York in Miami. There is so much to do that it’s exhausting but definitely worth the trip. It is hard though to think about Christmas when it’s 80 degrees and sunny everyday.  I […]

Since I’m currently traveling, I thought it would be appropriate to post the holiday travel gift guide.  When I was thinking of who I could ask to contribute their travel gift suggestions, Julia Leach, the founder of Chance was the first person who came to mind.  She always seems to be off somewhere and they only […]

I arrived in Miami to find 80 degree temperatures and the nicest people at the new Miami Beach Edition Hotel.  I stayed at their other hotel in London so I was excited to see how they tweaked the design for this edition. The wood and upholstery are lighter and the room feels brighter. They give […]

I’m off to Miami this morning for Art Basel.  It’s my first time attending and I’m looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. From what I hear it’s more about the parties than the actual art but I will let you know. I’m excited to be staying at the new Miami Beach […]

I’ve slacked off on holiday gift guides for the past few years.  To make up for this, I’ve asked some of my favorite people to contribute gift guides in their area of expertise.  Some of them you will know and some will be an introduction but I guarantee you will love all of their choices. Aerin Lauder […]

I almost bought a last minute flight to Paris for this weekend because my favorite brocante ia happening in the Marais.  It didn’t end up working out so instead of going to Paris, I brought Paris to me. When I was living there this summer, I fell in love with jewelry by Marion Vidal after […]

Why anyone would want to go to a big box retailer and possibly get punched in the face for a discounted flat screen tv is beyond me but to each his own. Although, I’m pretty sure there have been some fancy lady fist fights over discounted shoes at the sales at Barneys and Bergdorfs. Black […]
