All posts in autumn

We’ve had a heat wave in New York this week so I personally can’t wait for autumn. Fall is is the city’s best season. Fashion week starts right after the Labor Day holiday which is always exciting. There are also many great art exhibitions, design events, and chic auctions. I can’t wait to wear cashmere […]

It’s finally feeling like fall in New York. The chillier temperatures mean it’s time to think about fall footwear and there’s no better place to start than Nordstrom. The free shipping and returns make it easy to try as many pairs as possible. I’ve put together my favorite boots, sneakers, and flats to to get […]

There is nothing I love more than taking long walks in the West Village and the Upper East Side to photograph seasonal decorations. The autumn doors this year were some of the best. Enjoy! “I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sunburnt leaves.” – Ann Drake Photos […]

Not sure how many of you remember that I used to reside in Boston. I lived on Temple Street in picturesque Beacon Hill from 1996 until 2001 when I moved to New York. I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t been back for a visit in the last 16 years so I’m very excited to be […]

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

It’s still hot in New York so it’s not coat weather yet. But I’m of the mindset that if you buy them, it will come. My coat closet is already packed but I can’t help buy at least one new coat each season and I can’t think of a better place to go for coats […]

Every morning, I’m afraid to turn on the news or look at Twitter. I feel depressed and helpless and unsure of the world. I don’t know what to do except give you a place to escape if you feel the same. Besides the Autumn poets sing A few prosaic days A little this side of […]

Blazer Brigade

09 . 19 . 17

If there’s one thing you buy for your wardrobe this fall, make it a blazer. More specifically, a blazer that’s glen plaid, checked, flannel, houndstooth, or tweed. The are the perfect layering piece when the weather is starting to cool down but it’s yet cold enough for a coat. As you can see from some […]

Transitional Outfit

09 . 09 . 17

It’s been feeling very much like fall in New York lately so I’ve started transitioning my wardrobe earlier than usual. Many of you have requested more outfit posts so I thought I’d show you what I’ll be wearing this weekend. Silk Wrap Blouse – There is nothing I love more than pairing an ivory silk blouse […]

I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track. They’ve already come back but as Americans go back to school and work after this long Labor Day weekend, it’s […]

Cuyana New York Pop Up

09 . 04 . 17

The day after I mentioned visiting the Cuyana showroom in San Francisco, I received an email alerting me that they are popping up in New York this week. Even better is that they will be in my neighborhood. The pop up will feature Cuyana pieces for fall 2017 as well as their most popular staples. […]

I was reminded of the Oscar Wilde quote this morning, “And all at once, summer collapsed into fall” as I woke up to 55 degree temperatures. It’s definitely time to get your fall wardrobe together and Sienna Miller is the perfect inspiration. Every time she left the theatre in New York and London, she was […]

Nordstrom Fall Finds

08 . 10 . 17

We’ve had a little cooler weather in New York recently which had me thinking of fall. It’s usually around this time of year when I want to burn all my summer clothes and start over and there’s no better place to start than Nordstrom. They have the best selection online already and their free shipping […]

I’m currently in Birmingham, Alabama for a days for a work trip. After I’m finished, interior designer Andrew Brown has generously offered to show me around and take me antiquing. I’m looking forward to seeing the town but before I left New York, I took a long walk through the city to enjoy the changing […]
