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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

Every year, I eagerly await the first pre-fall collection from Sézane and it’s finally launched today. I don’t think the styling and photos are as beautiful or inspiring as they were last year but the collection is still filled with wonderful pieces to add to your autumn wardrobe. Happy September! XOXO, HC Johnson Coat and […]

Sale season has come to an end on Net-a-Porter but luckily there are still some wonderful pieces to be found at other retailers. I’ve put together some of my favorites sale selections that are perfect for transitioning to fall like the double-breasted wool trench coat above that is half off. As you know, I’m a […]

Fall transitional weather lasted about a day in New York before the temperatures dropped and the heat came on last week. We are all now wearing coats now and complaining about the cold. If you’re looking for coat inspiration, I highly recommend watching the film Ocean’s 8 if you haven’t already. It was filmed in […]
