All posts in autumn

We’ve had some beautiful weather this October and I made sure I went out for walks on all the sunny days. It was so nice to see so many homeowners and businesses decorate for fall and Halloween. The city is bustling and seems back to normal which feels so good. I can’t wait to see […]

Even though it’s autumn in New York, I’m thinking about springtime in Paris thanks to Emily in Paris and some other things going on this weekend and month. You will enjoy them no matter where you live. I’m finishing up my last day of Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet so I’ve been home all day binging […]

I can’t believe it’s October already. As sad as I am to wish away this year, the closer we get to 2021 makes me happy. This has been a rough year and every time I think it can’t get any worse, something manages to surprise me. On the bright side, the cooler and drier air […]

As promised, I’m going to try to post more flat lay outfit posts especially since some of my fall purchases are still in stock. A few pieces are no longer available but I’ve included similar options that in some cases are even better. Fisherman Knit Sweater – This one is from Heidi Wynne who is […]

The classic Aran fisherman knit sweater is a forever classic that always looks good for fall. While it was too warm on Nantucket to wear mine, I’m hoping that it will be feeling more crisp and cool for my upcoming trip to The Mayflower Inn. I’ve put together some traditional style sweaters and a few […]

The weather in New York usually stays warm until October so you can definitely wear white jeans past Labor Day if you style them for the season. That means putting away your pastels and straw beach bags and replacing them with neutrals, darker colors, and heavier fabrics. It’s the time to start wearing camel, suede, […]

La Rentrée or the reentry period after summer is my favorite time of year because it means that life begins again in earnest in New York. Usually, fashion week kicks off with big events and then the fashion shows start. In the following weeks, there are press previews, lunches, design events, cocktail parties, art exhibitions, […]

One of the most exciting collaborations for fall 2020 is Giuliva Heritage x H&M. I’ve been following Giuliva Heritage since the came onto the scene but their beautiful tailored pieces can be very expensive. The Giuliva Heritage x H&M collection has the same great look but at much more accessible prices. They suiting separates and […]

October in New York

10 . 28 . 19

This has been one of the nicest Octobers I can remember in New York. I’ve taken as many walks as possible to enjoy the sunshine and take photographs. Luckily, there seemed to be less gross Halloween decorations this year and more elegant seasonal decor. Here are some of my favorites from the Upper East Side […]

Sweater Weather

10 . 15 . 19

The temperatures in New York have been very cold each morning so my sweaters have been in heavy rotation. I’ve been layering them under blazers or light jackets since it usually warms up each afternoon. I’m especially loving fair isle sweaters for fall and have already bought two. I’m still trying to find a new […]

The temperature has finally dropped in New York and I’ve already pulled out my Heidi Wynne pieces. Her collection of chic and luxurious cashmere scarves and cozy fisherman knit sweaters are perfect for keeping warm and adding a pop of color to any outfit. The unisex style makes them great for men too. But if […]

October is one of the prettiest times in New York. Well, not right now because it’s wet and cold. But hopefully soon the leaves will change and pumpkins will be put out on stoops and all will be right with the world.

I had a friend and former client ask me for fashion advice and wanted another post on how to style white jeans for fall. The weather seems to stay warm until October lately so you can definitely wear white jeans past Labor Day if you style them for the season. That means putting away your […]

I’ll admit that it felt like this summer flew by but I’m still very ready for la rentrée, which is what the French call the reentry after their August holidays. I can’t wait for sweater weather, leaf peeping, and fall events like the Lee Radziwill auction at Christie’s in October. If you’re not excited for […]
