Why don’t you check out some of these amazing museum exhibitions this weekend now that they weather has turned cold! I still can’t believe I haven’t been down to the New Museum to check out the first American retrospective of artist Elizabeth Peyton‘s artwork. There are over 100 of her works on display so you […]
When the Design Director of Bilhuber and Associates, Kevin Isbell, asked me to be his plus one to the book launch party for Defining Luxury:The Qualities of Life at Home, I didn’t have to think twice! Jeffrey Bilhuber is already a design legend and his new book is beyond gorgeous! The photographs by Trel Brock […]
As I alluded to in my Gossip Girl inspired post, the November issue of Domino has a great feature on bloggers and while I not profiled, I was very honored to be included as one of their noteworthy blogs. I won’t ruin it and tell you who made the cut because I am sure they […]

Which up and coming designers and bloggers were spotted at the Domino Book of Decorating launch party at The Conran Shop tonight and who will be featured in the pages of the November issue?

I guarantee that no client could get a hold of their interior designer last night to discuss their decorating emergency because everyone in the industry was at the Williams-Sonoma Home store opening party! The place was packed with more than 800 guests and I ran into old friends and made a few new ones during […]
I don’t know if I ever mentioned before that the Bachelor started his own finance company in March and also happens to work on Wall Street so needless to say, things have been a little tense around the Bachelor Pad for the last few weeks. I’ve also had to finish up the living and dining […]
Another great marriage of art and fashion are the limited edition Homage to the Square scarves from Hermes that depict six of artist Josef Albers paintings from 1964 and give new meaning to the phrase “wearable art.” The German born Albers, is most well known as a Bauhaus artist but he also designed furniture and […]
Someone left a comment once to “get back to design” when I posted about fashion but the point of my blog has always been illustrate that art, design and fashion are all intertwined. No one is this more evident than in the home of fashion designer Amy Smilovic who decorated her home in Greenwich, Connecticut, […]
I’m usually really bad at posting when I’m tagged but since Vicki of the blog French Essence and My French Life was nice enough to include me in her tags, I thought I should make time to participate. The rules are that I have to list “six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.” So […]
One of the things I love about The Book of Decorating from Domino is that there is a beautiful watercolor rendering of an interior on the title page to each chapter. I collect vintage watercolors and am always in awe of anyone who has mastered the techniques, especially John Gibson. John creates renderings for many […]
I received my advance copy of The Book of Decorating from Domino yesterday and I definitely think everyone will love it! There are tons of great interiors from the magazine all in one place now and many new fabulous designs too. The Decorator’s Handbook in the back is the perfect reference guide for the average […]
It was 46 degrees this morning and it got me thinking about all the great indoor activities available in New York and museums are at the top! One of the new exhibits that I am excited to see is Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night at The Museum of Modern Art. It looks […]
I have a lot of readers who live outside the US so I thought they and others who don’t read Bazaar might be interested to see the other Juicy abode. This one is a 1939 Georgian colonial in Beverly Hills that had more than a little help from interior designer Peter Dunham to pull it […]
I never quite get as much done as I think I will over the weekend which includes cleaning out my old magazines. I was trying to get rid of the ginormous September fashion mags to make room for the November issues that are already arriving but I only managed to go through a few. Luckily, […]
I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of interesting people at the Flair party including Ray Attanasio who is one of the owners of Balsamo Antiques in Pine Plains, NY near Hudson. At first I thought it was just a antiques shop but after checking out their website, I realized that they also practice […]
My favorite friends at Flair had a very chic little cocktail party the other night to introduce their Italian founder, Franco Mariotti, to New York and to celebrate the new exhibition of photography by Christopher Draghi. If you haven’t been downtown to visit the store, you must stop in soon since they have all new […]
In my haste to get my fabulous flea market finds into a cab and out of the rain, I accidentally left my silver edged glass cake plates with Eddie’s even more fabulous flea market loot. He was kind enough to send them over today and to my surprise he included a little gift, Martha Stewart’s […]
