The first time I met Starrett Ringbom was when she was working in public relations for Jonathan Adler. She was wearing a high waisted pair of vintage leather pants that belonged to her mother on a pouring down rainy day. I was dressed for the weather and did not look as chic. The first time I […]
Andrea Stanford, Design and Interiors Editor of C Magazine, is one of the chicest women I know. She’s also one of the happiest. I always joke it’s because she lives in sunny Los Angeles. But just because she lives in a warm climate doesn’t mean she doesn’t go all out for the holidays. Andrea told […]
Everyone laments the state of travel these days but what we lack in chicness, we definitely make up for with amazing advancements in tech products. I have two back to back trips coming up so I thought I would share some of my favorite go-to products and some new finds for traveling. There is no […]
Who says Valentine’s Day has to be only about couples?! I think you can celebrate with and buy gifts for your best friend, sister, mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother, and yourself.

I love receiving fashion designer Jenni Kayne‘s blog Rip + Tan, named after her children. It’s full of healthy recipes, interesting profiles, and eco-friendly advice. Maybe it’s because she and her family live in California. I’m also still in awe of her organizational skills that were on display in Martha Stewart Living magazine. So there […]
I couldn’t think of a more fun person to contribute a California chic and casual gift guide than interior designer, entertaining expert, and store owner Nathan Turner. As many of you probably saw of the show Million Dollar Decorators, he’s extremely funny and down to earth. I really think they should create a show […]
Even though Dina Fierro is a beauty blogger in addition to recently being the Vice President of Social/Digital at HL Group, she is the only person I trust when it comes to technology advice. She was the person who who turned me on to Frends headphones and anytime she links to an article on Twitter, […]
There was no question that interior designer Ryan Korban would be the perfect person to write a luxury holiday gift guide. He is known for his glamorous interiors not just for the home but for retail stores such as Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. What I love most is that his look is sexy and elegant […]
Since I’m currently traveling, I thought it would be appropriate to post the holiday travel gift guide. When I was thinking of who I could ask to contribute their travel gift suggestions, Julia Leach, the founder of Chance was the first person who came to mind. She always seems to be off somewhere and they only […]
I’ve slacked off on holiday gift guides for the past few years. To make up for this, I’ve asked some of my favorite people to contribute gift guides in their area of expertise. Some of them you will know and some will be an introduction but I guarantee you will love all of their choices. Aerin Lauder […]
Speaking of the holidays. I was excited to be asked to curate a holiday gift guide for One Kings Lane that includes lots of chic gift ideas for your friends and family, as well as yourself. It also includes a few of my gift giving tips to help you navigate what to get for everyone […]
If you’ve ever tried to navigate midtown or anywhere else in New York during the holidays, you will understand why I love online shopping. Especially, when you can order gifts for everyone on your list. I am especially loving the Nordstrom owned site, HauteLook which features great brands at up to 75% off. Even better […]
