Fashion week has begun in Paris and all the Instagram photos have me slightly regretting not returning to the City of Light to attend. Although, I’m sure my Air France flight would have been cancelled so it’s probably for the best. When I do go back, the first place on my must visit list is Le […]
I’m usually not a fan of new construction but I am quite impressed with the design of 224 Mulberry Street I saw on Curbed today. It was developed by Flank to complement the other buildings in the neighborhood and as though it were in a landmarked district. Although, I’m sure most of the other buildings […]
Today marks the first day of fall and the chill in the air means it’s officially sweater weather. C magazine featured some of the best knitwear of the season in their September issue. If the Oscar de la Renta Cable Knit Sweater above is a little out of your price range, you could try the Ivory Cable […]
An image on Pinterest led to this interesting and masculine apartment in Bilbao, Spain. It belongs to Mikel Larrinaga and was featured in Singular Magazine and Nuevo Estilo. While it’s not my style overall, I love the collected look of the art and the neutral colors punctuated with black accents. It’s one of those apartments that makes […]
Sorry for the light posts this week. I’m still trying to get caught up from my summer abroad. I have some great posts planned for next week to make up for this so make sure you check back. In the meantime, I’m sharing a photo I posted on Instagram this morning. Hyacinths are usually only available […]
I mentioned Ralph’s Coffee last week but thought you might want to see a few photos. The new cafe is located on the second floor of the new Polo Ralph Lauren store on Fifth Avenue and it’s worth the trek. You can eat in their chic seating area or get something to go after shopping […]
My favorite seasonal quote is the one from The Great Gatsby below, “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” While autumn doesn’t officially start until next week, it has gotten crisp in New York. Not only is everyone happy to no longer be sweating but they are also happy to […]
Also out this weekend is the Men’s Style issue of T Magazine. I already picked up a copy and let out an audible gasp when I saw the photos of the Connecticut home of Sir John Richardson inside. The London-born Richardson started his career in the art world by opening the New York office of Christie’s […]
Just a reminder that the WSJ. Magazine will be included in the Wall Street Journal newspaper on Saturday, September 13th. It’s the Men’s Issue which is chock full of stories that will appeal to everyone including a cover feature on Pharrell Williams. I already an advance copy, and one story that I really appreciated was a profile of […]
My new favorite street style subject is C magazine fashion editor Annina Mislin. Her style is an interesting combination of conservative and daring. While I would never wear a bra top and open shirt on the street, I admire her moxie and her abs. Someone needs to find out her workout routine and post it […]
They save the best for the last day of fashion week and that includes the Ralph Lauren runway show. It never disappoints, but then again, nothing that Ralph Lauren does ever disappoints. He hosted a very chic and unique party in Central Park on Wednesday to launch his new Polo Ralph Lauren for women collection […]
In case you happened to miss it, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue and the most important woman in the fashion word, answered 73 Questions online today. The most important take away is to never wear head-to-toe black. You can watch it here and see her office that was decorated by Carrier and Company.
As much as I love attending runway shows, you often miss the details when the models are wafting past you and the person in front of you is taking pics on their ginormous iPad. So it was lovely to see Oscar de la Renta post a multitude of detail photos of the clothing and accessories from their Spring 2015 […]
As everyone knows, some of the best looks each fashion week aren’t on the runways. The street style looks are also looking much better this season. Maybe it’s because it’s been so hot. I think the weather has also been the reason we’re seeing so much white after Labor Day too. Gotta get it in […]
Fashion designer Adam Lippes presented his Spring 2015 collection in his duplex on Washington Square Park on Saturday. It was the perfect backdrop to his elegant and interesting designs. Too bad all fashion shows aren’t this chic. To view all the Adam Lippes looks for Spring 2015, check out Style.com and to read more about […]

It’s only Day 2 of New York Fashion Week but we’ve already seen a lot of great looks. It’s so hot and steamy in the city right now that I wish I could wear most of them right now. A white dress should be at the top of your shopping list for Spring 2015 but […]
If you ever saw the documentary, Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, you know that personal shopper Betty Halbreich has a great sense of humor. The 86 year old (yes 86!) has written a book about her life that is not only funny but also poignant and inspiring. I had the pleasure of meeting her last night […]
New York Fashion Week kicked off last night with a fete at Gracie Mansion and I noticed a theme among a few of the designers. Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Carolina Herrera all wore grey and white. A great way to transition your white pieces for after Labor Day. I’ll be attending all […]
The French call it la rentrée. In America, we call it “back to school.” Whatever you call it, it’s time to stop goofing off and get back to work. Hopefully, you have a chic desk to help you get over your depression that summer is unofficially over. If not, maybe these will inspire you to […]
