Even though it’s supposed to be 93 degrees in New York today, I’m thinking about fall fashions. I look forward to cooler temperatures when I can wear jeans again. My favorite item to dress them up a little is a bow tie blouse. Luckily for me, there are quite a few options to choose from […]

Fashion week begins right after the Labor Day holiday so there is always lots of outfit planning that happens this time of year. One woman whose style I always look to for inspiration is the Stylebop.com fashion director Leila Yavari. She describes her own style as “clean, monastic, and modern” which clearly doesn’t translate to boring. I […]

When I was cleaning out stacks of old magazines recently, I tore out a feature on fashion designer Peter Som‘s apartment from years ago.  It got me wondering when we might see it profiled again and funny enough, it was featured on Lonny.com last week.  Turns out that Peter expanded the apartment in the last […]

I’ve already started to organize my closet for fall. While doing so, I’ve been trying to put some new outfits together.  I’m very excited for the first crisp September day so I can wear these new pieces from J. McLaughlin. Dont forget, J. McLaughlin is generously offering HC readers 15% off full price merchandise from August 27-30, 2015 with […]

I think the best time to shop for fall fashions is when everyone else is still laying out on the beach. You get exactly what you want in the size you want and thanks to J.McLaughlin, you can also get a special discount. The purveyor of classic American sportswear since 1977 is offering HC readers […]

After three days of 90 degree temperatures, I’m even more ready for fall. I can’t wait for cozy coats and sweaters and trips to European cities like Vienna. The Austrian city is where Bergdorf Goodman Pre-Fall 2015 Magazine photographed these very chic fashions including the Andrew Gn coat above. I’ve never been to Austria but I’m […]

I’m definitely ready for fall fashion but I did buy one last white summer dress. I wore it yesterday to The Cloisters and I hadn’t even made it into the entrance before a young man with a foreign accent told me he liked my flowy dress.  It looks like something you’d see a girl wearing in […]

I don’t have children but if I did have little girls, I would definitely dress them in Florence Fancy.  The very chic clothing line was founded by mother of two, Nancy McCormick, who was “inspired by the classic designs of European children’s fashion, craftsmanship, and grace.” I stopped by the Upper East Side boutique and showroom yesterday […]

I’m taking the day off today. Well, not really. I still have a lot of little projects and errands on my “to do” list to prepare for the photo shoot in my apartment next week. But I am taking a break from the blog. While I’m away, I highly recommend you check out the Nordstrom […]

The new August 2015 issue of Vogue has a fun feature on Tory Burch and her new Sport collection. It was shot by Bruce Weber at her Southampton home and includes her three sons with former husband Chris Burch, as well as her three step-daughters, two of which, Pookie and Louisa Burch, are the founders […]

I’ve been wearing a lot of black this summer so I’ve decided to switch things up and add some olive green to my wardrobe.  I love that the color plays nice with others like brown and tan as well as black and even pink. When I was on the Madewell site I found this Silk Stich-Edged […]

I’m not sure why Madewell waited until after Bastille Day to launch their second collaboration with Sézane but better late than never. The French brand was founded by Morgane Sézalory and inspired by vintage designs. She says of the Madewell et Sézanne pairing, “We both have brands for real women in real life, but with some soul. […]

I have a lot of events coming up in the next few months so I’m starting to plan ahead. The first place I’m starting is St. John at Nordstrom. They always have ladylike styles that aren’t boring and can be styled in a multitude of ways. I prefer to wear dresses for events since they are easy […]

The worst part of the fashion calendar is that when you actually want to buy summer clothes, you’ll find nothing but in the stores but wool coats. If you’re still in need of key pieces to get you through warm weather any time of year, head to Chance where you’ll find everything you need.  The […]

A small piece from the WSJ.Magazine online has led to a new design crush in Gabriela Perezutti Hearst. The Uruguay-born designer started with her first line Candela but now has a new line Gabriela Hearst that she describes as a collection “for a woman, not a girl. Someone who knows what she wants.” Although she’s lived […]

While I’m in the Hamptons, it feels like everyone else I follow on Instagram is in Italy right now. Some are on holiday but most are in Florence for Pitti Uomo, the most important menswear tradeshow on the calendar each year. It’s a chance for the men to have their day in the sun and strut […]

Summer hasn’t even officially started yet and the city is already hot and sticky.  Good thing that Emerson Fry just debuted their Core Dress today. The low back tank dress comes in five colors and can be styled in a multitude of ways.  You can keep it light and let it hang loose or belt […]
