It was about 900 degrees in New York today. Alright, it was actual 91 degrees but it felt hotter due to the humidity. This is always the time of year when I want to burn my summer clothes and start wearing transitional fall pieces in cooler weather. Since that’s about 6-8 weeks away, I’ll settle […]

While the Peruvian Connection fashions I saw being photographed in Peru in May won’t be in online and in store until later this year, the Fall 2016 collection is available now. It’s filled with pima cotton and baby Alpaca pieces that will perfectly transition to cooler temperatures. While the exact coat above won’t be available […]

Wonderful White Lace

06 . 30 . 16

I wear dresses all summer but after seeing The Duchess of Cambridge looking gorgeous at Royal Ascot in a beautiful white lace dress recently, I think I need to add one to my wardrobe. Usually everything she wears sells out immediately but since this one is a little more on the expensive side, so the exact dress […]

I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve done most of my recent shopping online. When I found myself with some extra time on Madison Avenue yesterday, I decided to take a stroll through Barneys. I’m really glad I did because I found some great pieces on sale from Gabriela Hearst. Her pieces are all inspired […]

I’ve seen glimpses of Who What Wear co-founder Katherine Power’s home on her Instagram account but it was nice to see a full house tour on designer Jenni Kayne‘s blog Rip & Tan this weekend. The neutral color palette reminds me of Katherine’s wardrobe and she tells Jenni that her home style and persona style “are […]

Summer Sale Selections

06 . 01 . 16

Essentially everything is on sale online right now so I hope you have been shopping. If you need any inspiration, I put together a few outfits of my favorite pieces to get you started. Now that summer is finally here, how great would this Bright Orange Dress look with a little tan. Because the dress is […]

The Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer which also means the start of summer events like graduations, weddings, and other parties. If you still don’t have your outfits planned out, Nordstrom St. John has you covered. They offer a wide assortment of dresses, separates, and accessories for one stop shopping. Nordstrom also offers free […]

The weather is finally heating up and I’m sweating just thinking about the temperature hitting 90 degrees today. But have no fear, the 11-piece beachwear Hatch Plage Collection will keep you cool all summer. (Plage means beach in French.) Founder Ariane Goldman was inspired this season by a trip to Marrakech with her husband last […]

The Row in New York

05 . 23 . 16

While I was in Peru, my friend David Lawrence posted Instagram photos from The Row‘s new store at 17 East 71st Street in New York. Lucky for me, it’s located in my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and I can’t wait to stop by this week. As you know, there is nothing I love more […]

Chance in Mexico

05 . 04 . 16

Since Julia Leach moved to California, I haven’t seen her so it was a treat to see her two days in a row last week. One was to see the preview for her new Mexico inspired Chance capsule collection that launches on Cinqo de Mayo. Julia’s love of Mexico began in the 1970’s when she first traveled to […]

Suited Up

04 . 29 . 16

This was an exhausting non-stop week. So exhausting in fact that I feel asleep during a LED light treatment at Dr. Wade‘s office this afternoon. Part of my week was filled with meetings that had me thinking that maybe I need to buy a new suit. In a stroke of lucky timing, the new May 2016 issue of the […]

Going Gingham

04 . 26 . 16

How cute and chic are these photos of Jenna Lyons? J.Crew challenged her to wear gingham five ways for five days.  The results were photographed in her office, with her son at Morgensterns Ice Cream, her home, on the street, and at The Meadow. At least I think that’s her home.  I’m still wondering which […]

Chic Shirtdresses

04 . 13 . 16

The weather is beginning to warm up which means I’ll soon be able to wear my favorite staple, the shirtdress. I own them in every color and style but keep adding more to my wardrobe.  As soon as I saw Everlane‘s new Striped Cotton Poplin Shirtdress above, I knew it would be another perfect addition. […]

After two days of warm weather, we are expecting snow tomorrow. I guess I’m going to have to wait a little while longer to wear my new spring finds from J.McLaughlin. J.McLaughlin Britt Linen Shirt – My closet is full of blue shirts but that never stops me from buying a new one each spring. […]

Johanna Ortiz in Paris

03 . 11 . 16

There is nothing I love more than when fashion and interiors come together. No where was this done with more elegance than at the Johanna Ortiz fall presentation in Paris. Johanna is a very chic Colombian designer who creates feminine and sexy designs that still manage to remain ladylike. Because of her South American heritage, there […]

It’s cold and rainy in Paris this morning, so I’m dreaming of warmer weather and the new spring collection at J. McLaughlin is making me dream even harder. I love all the pretty colors and fun patterns that are perfect for work and weekend. I want to be wearing all of them while enjoying some sunshine. To help […]

Emerson Fry is Back

03 . 02 . 16

After a warehouse move and a brief hiatus, Emerson Fry is back with a new light and breezy collection for Spring/Summer 2016. The pieces are mostly white, black, and nude with a little pattern thrown into the mix. It’s making me want to plan another warm weather trip and it will probably make you want […]
