Summer hasn’t even officially started yet and the city is already hot and sticky. Good thing that Emerson Fry just debuted their Core Dress today. The low back tank dress comes in five colors and can be styled in a multitude of ways. You can keep it light and let it hang loose or belt […]
It feels like everyone is pregnant right now from my friend Sheena and Oscar PR Girl Erika Bearman, to Kim Kardashian. I can imagine that their goal this summer is to be as comfortable as possible while feeling uncomfortable and Hatch has them covered. The new Hatch Plage collection is full of light gauzy dresses and separates […]
Right now, everything is on sale everywhere. Well, maybe not everything but there are a lot of amazing fashions on sale at Net-a-Porter, Barneys, and Bergdorf Goodman online. I’m sharing a few of my favorites and the best part is that you have the entire summer left to wear them. One of the brands that […]
The Memorial Day holiday is the unofficial start of summer and trips to the Hamptons. There is no person who epitomizes weekend chic more than Aerin Lauder so I thought it would be fun to take another look at her style and her lovely Hamptons home. While the inside is decorated for year round use, I […]
Everyone I spoke with this week said they thought Memorial Day was next weekend. If the early holiday has left you unprepared for summer, Heidi Wynne has you covered. She is generously offering HC readers free shipping and 15% off site wide with code CHIC15 until June 10, 2015. Heidi has a wide array of straw and […]
It feels like the weather has bypassed spring and moved straight to summer. I would be more excited about the warmer temperatures if I felt like my closet was also ready. If you’re in the same boat as me or just want to add a few new chic pieces to your warm weather wardrobe, I […]
When I was thinking about what to post for the Labor Day holiday weekend, I couldn’t think of anything better than these photos of model Hilary Rhoda and Masters of Sex star Teddy Sears in Maine. They appeared in American Vogue in November 2013 and Vogue Australia in January 2014 and epitomize preppy American chic. If […]
“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything […]
I’ve been home for a week now and feels really good to be back. I love that I can shop on Sundays and get anything I want delivered at any time. It’s also been great to see my friends and my favorite people in the neighborhood. Oh, and yes I got an amazing manicure and pedicure […]
I think we all agree that the rule “no white after Labor Day” is a bit antiquated. That being said, I would put away anything that looks really light and summery. I will keep out my favorite white jeans and pair them with a grey blazer or a black silk blouse instead of something […]
I only have a few more weeks left in Paris so I’m trying to pack it all in before I go. I still can’t believe I haven’t made it to all the museums yet. I’m also headed to London on Saturday for five days to meet up with a friend who will then come back […]
I usually like to end the week with a personal Bon Weekend post about Paris but it’s too hot to think here. I appreciate open French windows and fresh air until it reaches 90 degrees. Then I start to miss American style arctic air conditioning. Although I have to say it’s no where near as […]
Every year I write a post on straw, wicker, and rattan and this year is no different. There is nothing better than natural fibers in the heat of summer. I’ve been seeing so much great vintage French wicker furniture in Paris since I’ve been here. It makes me wish I had a place to put […]
Wishing all of you back in the US, a very happy Fourth of July! Have a hot dog for me! May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country! – Daniel Webster Cameron Diaz wearing Ralph Lauren in Seveneteen magazine in 1990. Aerin Lauder […]
Seeing as the US is headed into the July 4th holiday this weekend, I thought it would be fitting to get back to some American themed posts. An email from Lonny recently alerted me to the fact that Katherine Hepburn’s former estate in Old Saybrook, Connecticut had come on the market again. The 15 room […]
“I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles.” – Cole Porter I had planned a different post today but I was sidetracked by a long walk, a visit with my friend Eleanor, and the World Cup. We’ll be back tomorrow with a longer post but until then, a few photos from Paris in the summer […]
I like the fashions at Club Monaco but ever since they updated the design of the stores, I go just as much for interior inspiration as I do to shop for clothes. Now they have combined the best of both worlds with their new pop up home shop in Southampton. There is a mix of […]
