Why don’t you check out the new work by James Nares at the Paul Kasmin Gallery before the show closes on February 21, 2009. These new paintings are exciting to view since they “incorporate iridescent pigments” which reflect light and look more dynamic than his paintings that use solid pigments.
I had a Martha moment this week and decided to make a batch of cookies to give to my friends for Valentine’s Day. The recipe is based on my favorite White Chocolate, Cranberry, Macadamia cookies that I used to pick up as a special treat. Everyone enjoyed them so I thought you might like the […]
Rose are red, Violets are blue, I hate Valentine’s Day! But I love you! Photo by Francois Halard from Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People
It’s one thing to chat via email with a fabulous designer or just post images of their work that you love but it’s quite another to get invited to their office to speak with them in person! When architect Peter Pennoyer did just that recently, I jumped at the chance! Peter is known for his […]
This has been a busy week and I have lots to write about but until I can post them all, I wanted tell you something exciting that I learned at a very chic dinner party I attended last night. This year’s Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse will be held this Spring on 71st Street and will […]
I spent most of Tuesday in Soho shopping for clients and spent a lot of my time checking out the amazing sale at Aero. There are some fabulous deals to be had so I recommend checking it out since most of the prices are below cost! Happy Shopping!
I have a new obsession and it’s Elma Blint jewelry! I had the pleasure of meeting Elma at her table at the Brooklyn Flea Market recently and found her to be delightful and her jewelry to be beyond chic and surprisingly affordable! Elma took the time to explain vermeil and why the gold on my […]
Natori Home has just launched a new “luxury towel” collection with Loftex that complements their existing bedding collection and features Asian inspired patterns including the Natori Family crest! The invitation to their showroom party was one of the fabulous beach towels and now I’m even more ready to go to the beach! Thanks Natori! And […]
I received the final issue from Domino today with a lovely little note from the PR team. Knowing that it would be the last one I would excitedly open as if it was a present on Christmas morning made me a little sad. I will treasure all my back issues and want to thank everyone […]
Fashion Week begins on Friday and already everyone is in a twitter especially since some shows and parties have already been cancelled or scaled back. Everyone is also buzzing about the new documentary The September Issue which chronicles Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her team as they put together the 5 pound September 2007 issue. […]
Everyone drooled over Julie and Luke Janklow’s white townhouse when it was featured in Vogue and now it can be yours for $25 Million. The gossip on Page 6 was that the couple was divorcing and it was confirmed when the 25 foot wide 8,100 sf home was put on the market. It seems like […]
I was looking for photos of this Richard Meier designed beach house months ago and was surprised that there were no images on Google. The home was designed for Peter Morton the ridiculously wealthy head of Morton’s Restaurant Group which owns the Hard Rock Cafe among others. His son Harry made headlines when he dated […]

I skipped my winter Favorite Things post because it was all just too depressing to think about and by this point, I am ready to burn all my winter clothes so why not focus on resort. Besides, I’ll need something to wear in St. Barths and I like to plan my outfits in advance, even […]
The temperature in New York today was 5 degrees with the wind chill and I’ve had enough. I’m ready to pack my bag and run away! I’ll probably just end up going to Los Angeles to visit friends but where I really want to go is St. Barths. I’d love nothing more than to sit […]

No matter how many times Hollywood tries to remake one of Jane Austen’s classics into a film, I can never quite enjoy them. All I see are perfect movie stars and make believe. That’s why I will always prefer the BBC versions. They always draw me and make me forget that I am watching a […]
