Indian Summer is a lovely occurrence if it doesn’t involve 80% humidity.  We’re sweating here in New York which makes it difficult to wear fall clothes.  When the weather breaks, I’ll be looking for an olive green parka like these in the latest issue of Vogue magazine.  They are perfect for the city or country living […]

My first thought when I heard that the English fashion designer Peter Copping was named the new creative director of Oscar de la Renta was, I wonder what will happen to his amazing Instagram account.  Peter has been based in Paris as the artistic director of Nina Ricci where he posts gorgeous flowers from Rambert […]

The fall books are starting to arrive and my absolute favorite is Marella Agnelli: The Last Swan. Although she was born into a aristocratic family, her life really began when she married Gianni Agnelli in 1953. The book written with her niece Marella Caracciola Chia is part memoir, family album, and home and garden tour. […]

Ok, let’s try this again. Due to a typo and a glitch with the entry form, many of you thought Josephine Home giveaway had already ended.  I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff over the years but I would never post a giveaway you couldn’t enter. If you have already entered, there is no reason to […]

I was talking to someone recently about what luxury means.  We both agreed that it doesn’t always have to mean something expensive. For me, luxury means the little things that brighten my world like fresh flower. In New York, we’re lucky to have a bodega on every corner selling flowers so it’s easy and inexpensive […]

Even though it’s still October, everyone is breathless in anticipation for the Sotheby’s auction in November of the Property from the Collection of Mrs. Paul Mellon, otherwise known as Bunny Mellon.  Over 2,000 items will be up for sale from the Mellon residences which will benefit The Gerard B. Lambert Foundation, a charitable entity established by Mrs. Mellon in […]

I was very excited to read today that the New York home of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles  is featured on and in the November 2014 issue of World of Interiors.  The apartment was designed by Studio Peregalli and looks just as colorful as his old apartment but also more English. I don’t think it’s out yet here […]

I was lucky enough to see Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs this summer at the Tate Modern in London and today I saw it in New York.  Even though the new exhibition that opens at the Museum of Modern Art on October 12th contains much of the same art, it still feels exciting and new.  One […]

I wish I was revisiting Paris in person but I’m only revisiting the architecture online.  While I don’t love everything about this apartment in the 9th arrondissement by Double G, I do love the boiseries, herringbone floors, and fireplaces, especially the one in the bathroom.  But when I was living in Paris, I heard that […]

I know a lot of you love my outfit posts so I’m going to try to start posting more.  The only problem is that I subscribe to the “quality not quantity” rule of thumb when it comes to shopping for clothes for I end up wearing the same things a lot. My wardrobe is made […]

The New York Times Fashion section just posted this photo on their Instagram.  They caught the actress Louise Grinberg leaving the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris. I love everything about this look from her hair to the ladylike blouse and grey cable knit sweater and pants paired with the burgundy bag.  It’s the perfect […]

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?” – Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables    Photo by me.

My friend Heidi Wynne came over recently to show me her new cashmere collection for fall. Now that the weather seems to finally be turning cooler, I thought I would share her very chic new offerings with you.  As you know, I couldn’t live without her wraps.  I wore them almost everyday in Paris and […]

I was wondering why the October issue of Vogue magazine was so late to the newsstand.  Perhaps the cover line about “George Clooney’s Ravishing Bride” has something to do with it. His wedding to Amal Alamuddin just took place in Venice, Italy this past weekend.  But it’s lovely Reese Witherspoon who graces the cover is […]

Singing sensation and sometimes wild child Lily Allen seems to have settled down now that she’s married with two children.  She and her family have moved to the charming Cotswolds area about two hours from London.  Vogue featured the home in their September 2014 issue but I’ve also found a few more photos of the […]

This fashion month might be the best yet for street style.  There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]

In honor of Paris Fashion Week and in anticipation of the Hotel Ritz reopening next year, I thought I would post these chic photos of Kate Moss taken before the closure by Tim Walker for Vogue. Everyone is hoping that they haven’t ruined the iconic design so it will be interesting to see how Thierry W. […]

Someone recently asked me what was new for menswear for fall.  The best thing about men’s fashion is that it doesn’t really change.  A man could buy a well made piece and keep it for a lifetime.  But if you or the man in your life needs a little upgrade, definitely check out Drake’s of London. Their […]

Every time I think that T magazine can’t possibly out do themselves, they manage to surprise me.  Featured in the Design Issue that will be included in The New York Times this Sunday, September 28th is the New York apartment of designer Stephen Sills.  While it is well known and has been published before, it is my […]
