The Dries Van Noten store on Quai Malaquais is one of my favorite places in Paris. I always tell people to go inside to look around even if they can’t afford anything since the flowers, fashion, and interior design is infinitely inspiring. Down the way at 9 Quai Malaquais is the equally impressive men’s store […]
I’ve posted about the fashion brand Another Tomorrow a few times but had yet to see it in person until yesterday. I had the pleasure of attending their Fall 2020 press preview and had a personal walk-through of the collection by founder Vanessa Barboni Hallik at their new store at 384 Bleecker Street. She founded […]
The Carolina Herrera boutique on Madison Avenue just received the chicest renovation and redecoration. The store opened in the year 2000 so it was overdue for a refresh. The neutral interiors are now full of light from the new windows and colorful furniture that I suspect is attempt to lure in younger shoppers and not […]
On Thursday morning, I headed downtown to preview the new Hermès store in the Meatpacking District. The area used to actually be where they packed meat in New York. You would almost break an ankle on the cobblestones when you went to Pastis or Florent. Now those iconic places are gone and the cobblestones have […]
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the new One Kings Lane store in the downtown Soho neighborhood of New York. The store doesn’t officially open to the public until Friday, November 2nd but many people already were trying to open the door to get inside to shop. Once you look through my photos, you’ll […]
One of the places I always stop in Sag Harbor is Bloom. Except for the one time I went out with a guy I was dating who rushed me through shopping and I missed saying hello to owner Mona Nerenberg. She was so disappointed that I vowed it would never happened again. The first time […]
Amanda Brooks was supposed to move to her husband’s native England with her family for just one year in 2012. Not only are they still there, she just opened a lifestyle shop in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds. Cutter Brooks carries a carefully curated mix of vintage items like fair isle sweaters and new pieces from Atelier […]
I love the John Derian stores on East 2nd Street but they are a destination and not a place I walk by regularly. That’s why I am so excited about his new store that just opened at 18 Christopher Street in the West Village which is one of my regular haunts. The front of the […]
As soon as I saw this Gramercy Park apartment on Clever, I knew I wanted to share it with you. It belongs to Michael DePerno and Andrew Fry, the founders of the Plain Goods store in New Preston, Connecticut. At 800-square feet, it’s not actually that small but it does have small areas like the […]
One of my biggest regrets while visiting Milan was forgetting to visit the Bottega Veneta store filled with frescoes. While the new Bottega Veneta Maison store in New York doesn’t have frescoes, it does have everything else you could possibly want in its 15,000 square feet. Three 19th-century townhouses at 74o Madison Avenue have been […]
I know many of you will be visiting New York this holiday season so I wanted to share a few great pop up shops and one permanent store open now. When you run out of time for online shopping, you still have a lot of wonderful options in the city. It was a fun treat […]
If you follow me on Instagram, then you will have seen these photos already but I wanted to make sure I share Roman and Williams GUILD NY with everyone. GUILD NY is the new lifestyle space by Roman and Williams at 53 Howard Street that includes a flower shop, restaurant, and mercantile space that all meld […]
Shopping online is easy but if you want to find presents in person, I suggest heading to Jayson Home in Soho. They are full of books, candles, objects, furniture, and more. I love visiting their Chicago store and we are so lucky to have them in New York now. Stop by and say hello or […]
I think we can all agree that it’s been a stressful year. If you want to go to bed and pull the covers over your head, you can now buy some very chic and reasonably priced bed linens at the new Hill House Home store on Bleecker Street. The line was founded by Nell Diamond […]
Jayson Home, the beloved Chicago store, has just opened in downtown New York. It is so exciting to have their mix of new and vintage finds in the City that Never Sleeps. You can now find anything you need for your own apartment, a client project, or the perfect gift at their new location. You […]
As you might remember, I hosted a joint Habitually Chic 10 Year Anniversary and Williams-Sonoma Home new Chelsea store opening party last week. So many people came out that it made for a very fun evening. For the event, Williams-Sonoma Home asked me to choose my top 10 must have items in the store. They […]
My friend Alice first introduced me to The White Company years ago but for some reason I never visited their stores in London. Now I don’t have to travel across the pond to experience their stylish and timeless products. Their new store on lower Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron district carries a myriad of candles […]
