When I was in London a few years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Ben Pentreath‘s very elegant office and chic shop Pentreath & Hall. Unfortunately, Ben was traveling so we weren’t able to meet but I feel like I’ve gotten to know him by following his Instagram account. It chronicles his London life but […]
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 […]
As I mentioned, I’m getting ready for an exciting photo shoot of my apartment. I’ve been trying to make some changes so it won’t be boring for you. I’ve also been looking back at some of my favorite interiors for inspiration. I’ve posted Cameron Kimber‘s old home in Sydney before but it still looks so […]
I haven’t met designer Andrew Brown yet in real life but he’s another one of my favorite Instagram friends. So I was beyond excited to learn that his Birmingham, Alabama home was just featured in the August 2015 issue of Veranda magazine. And I’m not just saying that because my book Creativity at Work is […]
I think everyone who lives in New York dreams of packing up and leaving the rat race at some point. Not many people actually do it but Sara Ruffin Costello and Paul Costello actually made the move to New Orleans five years ago and never looked back. The best part for them has been the […]
Even though I was in Paris in March, I feel the itch to plan another trip. Perhaps it’s because it’s Bastille Day and photos of the City of Light are all over the internet. But even when I’m not scheduled for travel, I like to look at the apartments on Haven in Paris for inspiration. […]

I’m planning a trip to Italy this autumn which is just one of the reasons I love following J.J. Martin and her site La Double J. It highlights her vintage clothing and accessories for sale but also some of the chicest women of Milan. One that caught my attention recently was a feature on Pupi […]
It was five years ago that I first saw the New Jersey house of Dransfield & Ross founders John Dransfield and Geoffrey Ross and it looks just as good today. I love that One Kings Lane is able to give a more in depth look into interiors during their house tours than most magazines. And as I’ve mentioned before, […]
I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party for Bonpoint in a gorgeous West Village townhouse last year. (You can see the photos in my post Beautiful Bonpoint Dinner.) Now you can see the rest of the six-story home of Annabel and Jos White thanks to House & Garden magazine. The sitting room furniture was […]
Belle Magazine doesn’t have a website but they do send out an email everyday which is where I saw the beautiful photo above. It is from the Sydney home of Ronan Sulich and Margaret Nolan and was featured in the October/November 2013 issue and was photographed by Michael Wee. It was also featured on Marie […]
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 […]
I’m headed to Sag Harbor tomorrow and I can’t wait for a little respite away from the city. It’s my favorite place in the Hamptons since it’s more low key and relaxed than other areas. All the architecture out east is lovely but for some reason it looks even more charming in Sag Harbor. Maybe because the […]
I had the pleasure of stopping by the Trademark Resort 2016 preview yesterday and I loved their chic showroom as much as the clothes. Founders Pookie and Louisa Burch walked me the collection that they explained was inspired by the 1970’s but interpreted in a modern way. Because resort lands in stores in November, it […]
This London flat was described by House & Garden as tiny but compared to what they try to pass off as apartments in NYC, it’s positively palatial. It was designed by Ann Boyd after she decided to downsize after she realized she was spending more time at her country house. To expand the space, she […]
The May 2015 issue of Vogue has a lovely feature on fashion designer Peter Copping who took over the helm at Oscar de la Renta last year. Copping and his partner Rambert Rigaud, an amazing florist, and their two cats have landed in the West Village after moving from Paris. They both have beautiful Instagram accounts […]
Even though I don’t live in California, C Magazine is one of my absolute favorite magazines. Their home features led to an entirely separate magazine C Home which I love finding in my mailbox. After falling down a rabbit hole from one photo of Bruce Gregga’s Montecito home on Pinterest, I found out that it was […]
