I was away at book signings both times it snowed in New York last month but it looks like I won’t be missing the big snow storm that’s hitting much of the country this week. Here’s to a white Christmas and a winter wonderland. Bon Weekend! Photo from here. Photos from tumblr and pinterest.
I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never been to San Francisco so I’m getting excited about my upcoming trip. There are so many great interior designers in the city including Stephen Shubel. I was checking out his new website and all my favorite projects of his including this loft that also served as his office. […]

Don’t forget that I will be signing books this Sunday at Archivia Books. If you can’t make it to the signing, you can call them to […]
I don’t know what I love more about this kitchen designed by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, the blue color, the herringbone floors, or the miles of display cabinets. To quote Rachel Zoe, “I die.” Bon Weekend! Photos by Line Thit Klein
I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a rainy night in New York this week than with a vintage French film. Les Choses de la Vie (The Things of Life) from 1970 is part of a series saluting director Claude Sautet a the Film Center Lincoln Center. It stars Romy Schneider as Helen, […]
I usually prefer the beach over the mountains because I think there are less spiders. But when it’s hot and humid, a lake house does look inviting. As long as you pack some bug spray. Bon Weekend!
I wish I was at the beach eating ice cream today. Instead I’m working on final edits for the book which goes to print on Monday. (Hooray!) But since the sun is finally out, I might sneak over to the park this afternoon. I’ll be back tomorrow with some fun posts for Father’s Day. Until […]
While I was reading the real estate ads in Hamptons Cottages and Gardens yesterday, an ad for a house in Southampton caught my eye. “Grosvenor Atterbury design featured in Elle Decor with timelessly styled details, leaded glass, a dining/sunroom with casement windows, master suite with fireplace, billiard room and covered porch.” At only $5.995 Million […]
I’ve been stalking Amazon.com for months to see if they had uploaded the cover image to Grace: A Memoir by Grace Coddington. When it finally posted, I was excited to see that my book won’t be the only one with an orange cover this fall. Her cover also seems to be a nod to the old […]
There are so many amazing art exhibitions and events beginning this weekend that it feels like Christmas all over again. Yesterday, I popped into the Gagosian Gallery on Madison Avenue to see the gorgeous Picasso and Françoise Gilot: Paris–Vallauris 1943–1953 exhibition. This is the fourth Picasso show at Gagosian and the first uptown which was […]
This has been one of those weeks. I feel exhausted and ready to relax. But that has to wait until I finish hiding stacks of magazines before a magazine editor comes to scout my apartment. And then there is still a few last things to do on the book. It never ends. Hope you get […]
I figured if people were going to be pinning my pictures on Pinterest, I might as well create my own boards. So far I’ve only uploaded my favorite color posts but there will definitely be more to come. Bon Weekend!
When I spoke on the panel at the Americas Mart in Atlanta in January, I was asked what trends I was seeing online. I answered that I was noticing that more and more people were taking time to unplug. I definitely saw some people roll their eyes and scoff at my observation. Last night at […]

If you’re looking for a Christmas present for the person who has everything, I highly suggest a Mark Shaw photograph. My favorites includes model posing in interiors but the most amazing are models posing with famous artists in their studios. Those were the days. Bon Weekend!

It’s no secret that I love orange. From burnt to bright, it always makes me happy. It always looks great with neutrals like in the room by Jeffrey Bilhuber above, but also with pale and charcoal grey. Bon Weekend!

This post is also a repeat but since it’s from May 2008, you might not remember it. The garden is featured in a lovely book Exceptional Gardens that was originally published in Belgium. The name really says it all and it’s filled with gorgeous green gardens around Europe. Also a reminder to get out and […]
