As excited as I am for autumn, I am feeling a little sad that summer is coming to an end. There were a few places I wanted to travel and didn’t make it to including Maine. The state motto says, “the way life should be” and this house in Maine decorated by Susanne Kasler looks […]
Since architect and interior designer Daniel Romualdez doesn’t have a website or an Instagram account, I really appreciate it when he shares one of his homes with a magazine. I was delighted to flip through the new August issue of Vanity Fair to find a feature on his Montauk retreat. The property right off the […]
The Duchess of Cambridge wore another pretty white lace dress to Royal Ascot in June. Last year, it was by Dolce and Gabbana. This year, it was a custom white lace dress by Alexander McQueen based on Alexander McQueen Lace Mini Dress that still available in one size here. Since her exact dress is not available, […]
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. – F. Scott Fitzgerald Wishing everyone a lovely 4th of July holiday.
If you happen to be in the Hamptons for the Fourth of July holiday, you might want to make a stop at the Goop MRKT in Amagansett. Goop MRKT is billed as “a tangible, shoppable incarnation of what goop is all about.” The summer pop up shop, open until August 20th, will be “stocked with everything […]
What is more summery than a great straw bag that can take you from the city to the beach. My lovely friend Heidi Wynne is offering Habitually Chic readers 20% off her entire website with code CHIC20 and free Fed Ex ground shipping on all domestic orders. The 20% discount can be applied to sale […]
Today is the first day of summer and if you’re still looking for a place to getaway out east, you might want to check out Matt Lauer’s Sag Harbor home that just received another price cut at Corcoran. The six bedroom, six bathroom 8,000-square-foot home was designed by architect Daniel Romualdez, while the Muriel Brandolini […]
Last week, I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the new One Kings Lane pop up shop in Southampton from president Debbie Propst. The store is located at 11 Jobs Lane in what was the old Southampton library that has been empty for years. The large building gives OKL the opportunity to create rooms to […]
I took hundreds of photos today at the new One Kings Lane store in Southampton. Until I get a chance to edit them, I thought I’d show you the beautiful lunch that One Kings Lane hosted for us after the store visit at the Wolffer Estate Winery in Sagaponack. It was simple and chic and would […]
It was a beautiful weekend in New York. At least, Friday and Saturday were beautiful. That’s my photo of Central Park above. But it also looked like a beautiful weekend in other parts of the country and world according to Instagram. Here are some of my favorite summer landscape photos. Enjoy! @marthastewart @annstreetstudio @aureliebidermann @carolynmurphy […]
I’ve never been one for bright colors, especially not when it’s insanely hot as it was in New York last week. As the temperature rises, I find myself pulling out anything white and light. I also appreciate neutral decor in the summer too. It’s as cool and refreshing as a scoop of ice cream. Vanilla […]
We’re expected to hit 90 degrees in New York today. It’s finally time to pull out your summer clothes. But it’s also a good time to transition your home for warmer weather. Nothing says summer more than wicker and rattan and Atelier Vime in Provence has beautiful vintage pieces that would look chic in any type […]
Longtime readers will remember my love of dresses. They are an easy item to throw on for a meeting or a casual weekend event. Add a different belt, shoes and bag and you have a totally different look too. That’s why I ordered this Everlane Linen Shirtdress the minute it launched online. I can already […]
In most of America, $175,000 would buy you an entire house. In the Hamptons, it will only get you a one month rental in this house in Sag Harbor Village for August only via Corcoran. While most of us can’t afford that price tag, we can peek into the home remodeled by David Kleinberg for a British politician […]
The weather in New York has been vacillating between hot and cold. That hasn’t stopped me from buying four new pairs sandals for spring and summer. In my defense, they were all 40-50% off and everyone knows you have to buy what you need before you need it or else it will be sold out. […]
I really wish the Spring/Summer 2017 Hatch Collection had been available when I was packing for my last trip to Mexico. The flowing dresses are perfect for the warmer weather so I’ll just have to wait until spring finally arrives in New York. Hatch Collection is billed as “chic, timeless and comfortable wardrobe essentials to wear […]
I’ve had the Hamptons on my mind all day. The frigid weather is making me wish it was summer again and a massive fire on Main Street in Sag Harbor has me thinking of all my friends out east. Then Hamptons magazine editor-in-chief Samantha Yanks posted a photo of a friend’s home in Sagaponack this […]
