Last week, I was surprised by an email from Marcelo Bengoechea who I hadn’t heard from since 2009 when I first posted about the woven photographs by his late brother Fernando Bengoechea. He had revived the work started by his photographer brother who died in the devastating Tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean in December […]

While quarantine has been hard for everyone, there are some bright spots. Photographer François Halard is holed up at his house in Arles and posts a photo of a room or a vignette every day. He’s on day 27 now and I look forward to each and every one of his images. His house is […]

Once Upon a Time…

02 . 16 . 20

I have been off my blogging game this month so I thought I would post some fun things over the long President’s Day weekend. If you followed me on Instagram Stories during award season, you know I posted a lot of photos of Brad Pitt. I think people thought I was more obsessed with him […]

Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend! I know a lot of people will be leaving the city this weekend but there are a lot of things happening for those who have decided to stay or those who will be visiting. I’m not really that into orchids but Jeff Leatham, famed artistic director of the […]

I can’t think of a better time to post about beach themed art than the day I leave for Nantucket. If you’re looking to decorate your summer rental, make a change, or help a graduate with their new apartment, Society6 and Saatchi Art have you covered. Society6 offers affordable art prints framed and unframed, as well […]

Porter magazine just announced today that Daria Werbowy will grace different two versions of their fall 2015 issue. It won’t be out until next week so until then, I’m going back to look at the beautiful photos that Mikael Jansson shot of her in Sweden for Interview magazine. Even though she’s a tall model with […]

I was honored to be asked by Sotheby’s to host the Young Collector’s event this week as well as participate in a fun interview with four other tastemakers. The Contemporary Living: Photographs, Prints, Design sale is currently on view before the auction on July 22nd at 10:00am. It’s filled with approximately 250 objects from the 20th & 21st centuries, including […]

Artful Arrangements

03 . 22 . 15

I’m running out of room for art in my apartment.  The only room with available wall space is my bathroom so I’m contemplating an arrangement of black and white photos.  The floor is black and white tile so I’ve worked around that theme and added in touches of blue.  I’ve just not decided yet if […]

Double Take

01 . 25 . 15

  Men’s fashion week has been taking place the last few weeks in Europe.  The Fashion Director of Esquire magazine, Nick Sullivan, has been making the rounds and also posting some fun “double take” photos on Instagram. Not sure if they are taken at the time or combined in PhotoShop but the photos combine an […]

Merci Beaucoup!

01 . 14 . 15

Yesterday was a very exciting day.  I hit 50,000 followers on Instagram and want to thank you all for your continued support and encouragement.  Instagram is my happy place and unlike some people, I only post photos I’ve personally taken with my iPhone which makes this milestone that much more special.  It’s hard to find […]

Finding Vivian Maier

06 . 23 . 14

I was aware of the photographer Vivian Maier because the publisher of my book Habitually Chic: Creativity at Work, powerHouse Books has published two books of her work, Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits and Vivian Maier: Street Photographer. I wasn’t aware that her recognition as a photographer only came posthumously after I saw the trailer for the documentary […]

Judith describes Jennilee Marigomen, the […]

Full of Grace

04 . 23 . 14

If you watched The September Issue, you know Grace Coddington is a fan of photography.  It’s no surprise then that the online auction house Paddle8 has tapped the legendary Vogue editor to curate a collection of photographs for an upcoming auction.  Instead of fashion photos as you might expect, she has pulled together “No Clothes“, […]

More is More

I ran into Terron Schaefer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer for Saks Fifth Avenue, at the Five Year Anniversary party for the WSJ.Magazine during fashion week.  He said he was thinking of me because he need inspiration for his new apartment.  As you might have seen from my book where his office […]

I’m excited to announce that I have curated a Habitually Chic Collection of photographs for Sonic Editions. It includes some of my all time favorite photos, as well as some new ones of the celebrities and places I love. I remember being a tad jealous when The Impossible Cool for Sonic Editions was announced so […]

Celine Soulmate

02 . 23 . 13

Celine bags aren’t just loved by the ladies. I found the wonderful blog We Could Grow Up Together after spying the photo of one of his Celine bags above somewhere on the internets.  The author, Kwannam Chu,  is a peripatetic photographer and creative director who chronicles his life, travels and work in his own unique […]

Back in Black

11 . 23 . 12

Black Friday is the phrase used to describe the shopping day after Thanksgiving when retailers go from “in the red” to “in the black” which refers to making a profit.  For me, it’s the day that makes me glad I don’t live near a mall.  This post is my chic homage to Black Friday with […]
