All posts in summer

Since the current heatwave shows no signs of abating, it feels like the right time to post my tips for humidity proof hair. I have very thick and naturally wavy highlighted hair that also blows out smooth very easily. My hair has not looked that bad this summer so I feel like I have finally […]

The only good thing about July is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it’s finally here. I especially love the beauty and skincare offerings. You can try new products and stock up on your favorites at great prices. I’ve put together some of things I already ordered and a few things I think you might like. […]

I’m getting ready to spend the 4th of July in Europe like everyone else on Instagram but there are a lot of the great sales happening here in the US if you are staying local. & OTHER STORIES – Up to 50% off select styles ANN TAYLOR – 50% off your online purchase (exclusions apply) with code CELEBRATE […]

If you are lucky enough to get invited to someone’s home or boat this summer, you definitely want to take a hostess gift so you get invited again next year. As I’ve mentioned before, I love giving and ephemeral gift like food or wine with something that will they will have once the others have […]

En Vacances 2021

08 . 17 . 21

I always find it amazing that the whole of Europe can be en vacances at the same exact time. I exaggerate of course, but only slightly. I haven’t done a color post in a while so this one is inspired by holidays spend on Greek isles and Italian beaches. @valerieleberichel @aerin Belted lace-trimmed cotton dress […]

This Fourth of July post has taken me longer to finish than anticipated since I kept adding items. I wanted the whole family to be included since celebrations this year are going to be over the top so I’ve put together over 50 fun items in red, white, and blue to get you ready for […]

I’ve had many requests to put together some dresses and accessories to wear to summer weddings, events, and parties. This was a little harder than I thought it would be since many dresses were sold out of sizes. Even pre-order dresses were already sold out. But I think I’ve pulled some chic options for day […]

I keep joking that I’m cut off from shopping every time something is delivered but that didn’t stop me from shopping up a storm in May. A few readers have said they like when I share what I bought so I thought I’d finally put a post together. This embroidered cotton dress is the perfect […]

Last week, the heat was still on in my building because it was so cold. Now, it’s so hot that I’ve had to turn on the air conditioning. I’ve been frantically trying to get my summer wardrobe together now that everything is open and back to normal in New York. If you need help too, […]

The new summer 2021 collection from Sézane just launched today and I could easily see them in an Eric Rohmer film. The timeless French girl look always works for summer and I’ve already placed my order. The best part is that shipping is free over $200 and there are free returns if something doesn’t work. […]

It’s going to be 80 degrees here on Wednesday. Time for a pedicure and a new pair of sandals. I’ve picked out 24 of my favorite pairs if you’re ready to change out of your sweats and put on some chic shoes again. I’m personally not ready to wear heels again but I saw many […]

A Change of Direction

07 . 29 . 20

It’s always around the end of July that I start to get sick of my colorful summer clothes and begin to reach for neutrals. It’s also around this time that I try to take advantage of the final days of sale season. There are still a a lot of good pieces left this year. I’ve […]

Palazzo Sacchetti

07 . 17 . 20

Since we can’t travel the world right now, the next best thing is to travel virtually. Today, Gucci showed their Gucci Epilogue collection at the Palazzo Sacchetti in Rome and I took a deep dive into its historic beauty. Palazzo Sacchetti is one of the most beautiful late Renaissance buildings in all of Rome. The […]

As I’ve mentioned before, it’s hard to feel inspired to blog when you can’t go anywhere or do anything. New York just cancelled all large events that require a permit through September which means no fashion week or design events that make autumn in the city so exciting. I’m going to try to plan a […]

Summer by the Sea

07 . 06 . 20

The Coronavirus crisis caused many companies to get creative. Ralph Lauren Home tapped photographer Matt Albiani to photograph their summer collection at his house Sea Roost in Montauk. I stayed at Sea Roost last year and can attest that it was the perfect backdrop for nautically inspired tableware and Aran sweater inspired blankets and pillows […]

Quarantine felt like the slowest time ever but now it feels like summer is flying by. The Fourth of July will be here in a week and a half and if you need anything patriotic for your family, I’ve got you covered. You can never go wrong with a Ralph Lauren Cotton Flag Sweater. Striped […]
