If yesterday’s airport travel outfit doesn’t work for you, I have a few other options for you today. I’m currently trying to get my ducks in a row for my next trip the Hamptons and my July trip to London so these are some of the things I’ve been eyeing, buying, and trying for May […]

The 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival is taking place in France right now and the airport arrival outfits in Nice are better than the fancy red carpet looks. Some of my favorites this week include Brie Larson in a chic Celine jacket, Uma Thurman in a tan suit, and Natalie Portman and French actress Laura […]

I bought quite a few things for my April trip to Paris when the forecast was showing warmer weather but I ended up not packing any of them when it became clear that it would be rather chilly. I had the cool grey weather this year that I was expecting last year but it was […]

I’m headed to Paris tonight (I’ll already have arrived by the time those of you with the email subscription read this post) and I can’t wait to get back to my favorite city. I spent a month there last spring to celebrate my birthday but this trip will only be two weeks. I’m extra excited […]

Dorothée Meilichzon’s redesign of Charles de Gaulle airport Terminal 2G was finished almost a year ago. I have only just seen it because flights from JFK land at Terminal 2E and Terminal 2G is the Schengen (Euro Borderless Zone) terminal which means the terminal for flights or connections for Europe. It’s an interesting design. I don’t know […]

I’ve been trying not too buy too much for spring or because I really don’t need many pieces. But I am headed to Palm Beach soon and picked up a few things that work for both so I thought I would share them. In case you haven’t taken a look lately, Banana Republic is looking […]

I’m headed to Palm Beach soon to photograph the Kips Bay Decorator Show House and I’m already planning my outfits. My inspiration jumping off point is the blue shirtdress that Tilda Swinton wears in A Bigger Splash which is based on the french film La Piscine. I was amazed to find this Striped Cotton Midi […]

Last week, many of my followers on Instagram were lamenting that a lot hotels in Paris are already booked up for this year. Lucky for all of you, I can announce that the new Château des Fleurs five-star hotel will be opening on 14 April 2023. I don’t think anyone else knows about yet so […]

I’ve sent out almost 450 Paris Guide orders just since the beginning of the year which is no surprise since Paris continues to be the number one travel destination in the world. The number one question I’m always asked is what to wear in Paris during specific months of the year. It’s definitely harder to […]

As I get ready for my upcoming trip to Paris, I want to pack comfortable clothes that do double duty and I’ve found the best pieces at Talbots. This grey cashmere turtleneck can be worn with these knit wide leg trousers in addition to jeans and skirts. These pants are so comfortable I could even […]

I’ve posted the directions on how to buy my Paris Travel Guide for 2023 in Instagram stories and in one of my Bon Weekend posts but it seems to be getting lost. Since people are always messaging me and asking how to buy it, I thought I should create a dedicated blog post so it’s […]

My dear friend Andrew Brown, and interior designer based in Birmingham, Alabama, celebrated his birthday in Zanzibar this year. I was so inspired by his trip that I decided to create outfits based on the colors of his photos. I started with the burnt orange terracotta tiles as inspiration from the first photo take in […]

I love living uptown but we are seriously lacking in the hotel department. That’s why I’m very jealous of the new hotel, Nine Orchard, that just opened downtown. DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners has transformed a 12-story Lower East Side Beaux-Arts landmark building into an elegant hotel and culinary destination. Originally built in 1912, the […]

I know I have slacked off on the blog since before I went to Paris. During the pandemic, it was hard to post because of brain fog but I’m not sure why I can’t get focused lately even though I have so much to post. I’m in Sag Harbor this week so there will be […]

I haven’t died. I’ve just died and gone to Paris. Sorry for the lack of posts. Three weeks is the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging in the 16 years of Habitually Chic but hopefully you will forgive me since I have been celebrating my birthday in Paris with friends. I had grand plans to […]

The questions I’m asked most often on Instagram are “where should I go in New York” and “do you have a guide”. People haven’t been to the city in years due to the pandemic so they are planning trips and want to know where to stay and most often, where to eat. I don’t have […]
