And Other Stories

12 . 15 . 13

I’m not keen on names that are random phrases but since & Other Stories is an off shoot of H&M, it probably doesn’t matter.  What does matter is that blogger Garance Dore recently photographer street style star Giorgia Tordini and her sister Giulia in their winter collection in Stockholm, Sweden. The clothes look quite chic […]

I always think of HATCH for their maternity wear but after visiting their pop up shop on Howard Street, I realize it’s not just for moms.  At the press breakfast, both my friend Alice Ryan and Serena Dugan of Serena & Lily were wearing a navy silk jumpsuit that looked like it was from a […]

Styled to Perfection

11 . 07 . 13

One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots […]

Fashionable Backdrop

10 . 21 . 13

I always find fashion stories so much more compelling when they are set in a beautiful interior instead of a blank backdrop.  The feature with Liev Schreiber and Doutzen Kroes in the November 2013 issue of Vogue is titled L.A. Confidential but looks to be set in a contemporary townhouse in the West Village or […]

Sporty Spice

10 . 12 . 13

I like to keep my workout clothes separate from my regular wardrobe.  But the more I see sneakers worn while not breaking a sweat, I’m starting to rethink my rules.  A pair of New Balance trainers could be a chic alternative to flats for traversing the city.   via Glamour France via The Sartorialist via […]

Grey Days

10 . 09 . 13

As soon as the weather turns grey and chilly like today, I start pulling out my grey clothes.  It’s become my go since it’s less harsh than black and is the perfect complement to my hair color. As we know, it’s also a popular choice of paint color and plays well with almost every other […]

Jungle Love

10 . 08 . 13

I included a look from the Spring/Summer 2014 Hermès show in my last post which reminded me that I should take a more in depth look at the collection.  As you know, Hermès is best known for their leather accessories and bags but they also offer discreetly chic clothing to go along with said bags.  The spring show was […]

Fashionable Friday

09 . 13 . 13

New York fashion week just ended yesterday and I’m definitely still recovering.  While I take a moment to finally catch up on my emails and edit my photos, I leave you with this fashionable abode.  Domaine Home posted some photos this week and it reminded me how much I love this apartment owned by the […]

Le Sac de Sofia

07 . 13 . 13

While I was on the Vogue Paris website yesterday, I also came across this little feature on Sofia Coppola’s new limited edition Louis Vuitton SC bag exclusively for Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris. It’s an update of the design she created in 2009 in cobalt blue with fuchsia trim in two sizes that will be available in September 2013. Better […]

Chic Capucine

07 . 12 . 13

I’m a huge proponent of “to each his own” but whenever I see fashion bloggers in their technicolor outfits, endless arm parties, and unnatural nail art, I want to run screaming in the opposite direction.  I think that’s why I have an affinity for the French editors. My new favorite is Capucine Safyurtlu, the fashion […]

House of Herrera

07 . 09 . 13

It’s my dream to spend time with my ultimate style idol, Carolina Herrera.  Until that actually happens, I’ll make due with these images of her very chic studio via Vogue and her instagram feed.  Photos by Victoria Will via Vogue

Paule Ka Autumn 2013

07 . 08 . 13

It’s going to be 90 degrees in New York today and you know what that means, it’s time to start thinking about fall fashions. The Autumn/Winter 2013 Paule Ka campaign with model Angela Lindvall was just released today and has me excited for cooler weather and chicer clothes.  I’m also excited for the French brand’s […]

Miller’s Oath

06 . 14 . 13

If you’ve ever walked around midtown during lunch time, you know American men love themselves a baggy suit. It’s too bad they don’t realize that good tailoring can make you look at least 10 pounds thinner and even 10 years younger. If you or the man in your life could use a little sartorial sprucing, […]

I had the pleasure of attending an intimate dinner last week to celebrate the collaboration between everyone’s favorite online stationer, Paperless Post, and Oscar de la Renta. The twist being that now you can purchase physical stationery and invitations to be mailed at the post office and not just via email. The resulting pieces take […]

Color Me Happy

04 . 15 . 13

I’ve realized this spring that my mood is directly proportional to the weather.  I’m afraid this week does not bode well in that regard so I thought we could probably all use a little color to cheer us up. Enjoy! Atlantic Pacific Alexander Kori Girard Fendi purse by Phil Oh  Tina Seidenfaden Busck’s gallery. Miroslava […]

Once again, I know it’s spring and I’m supposed to be all about color but I am still being inspired by black and white.  I mean, aren’t the black and white striped window treatments in the Milestone Hotel in London above amazing?  How could you not be inspired by them.  Enjoy!

Splurge vs. Steal

04 . 08 . 13

Speaking of skirts, I had my eye on the Chloe Inverted Pleat Skirt (on the left) at Barneys for a while.  But $850 seemed a bit much to spend on a tan skirt that I would probably drop gelato down the front of on the first warm day of spring.  (Have I mentioned there is a […]
