I came across this list of the 10 Little Things We Can Do To Make Life Easier for Each Other on tumblr this weekend and immediately realized that it deserved to be reposted. Almie Rose originally posted it on Thought Catalog along with comments on each point. I’ve decided to add my own two cents […]
If you’ve ever tried to navigate midtown or anywhere else in New York during the holidays, you will understand why I love online shopping. Especially, when you can order gifts for everyone on your list. I am especially loving the Nordstrom owned site, HauteLook which features great brands at up to 75% off. Even better […]
I usually like to wait until after Thanksgiving to start posting about Christmas but since it’s starting to look pretty festive around town, I figured what the heck. Last week, Bunny Williams invited me to Treillage for lunch where the entire place was already decked out for the holidays. I found out that I had […]
Someone recently told me they liked that all my Chanel bags were different and unique. Meaning, I wasn’t carrying the ubiquitous black quilted 2.55 flap bag. Not that there is anything wrong with the classic Chanel style but sometimes it’s fun to mix things up. My not so secret source for all my vintage Chanel […]
Just because I am trying to remove color from apartment that doesn’t mean I don’t like it in my life. Like all good interior designers, I love a pop of red scattered through out a room. I have also been trying to find the perfect red dress for winter. It would be the perfect complement […]
If you can dream it, iomoi has probably already conceived it. The fun line runs the gamut from stationery and paper products, to home accessories and every type of bag you can imagine. The best part is that they are almost all customizable too. The latest exciting addition is the bespoke tote in which a […]
I had an appointment with Ralph Lauren Home at the Ladies Mansion this morning, more on this later, and spied a very chic book for sale. I have been trying to get my hands on a copy of Life and Work: Malene Birger’s Life in Pictures for years but it was sold out. I’m happy […]
In case you need a little last minute autumn and entertaining inspiration, this is probably the last of it until we move onto Christmas. I will be in London for Thanksgiving which seems rather ironic. I’m excited to get away but I will miss the pumpkin pie. Hope one of you will save me a […]
Since my friends and I will all be out of town for Thanksgiving, we plan to get together for dinner before we leave. Even though there are a million restaurants in New York, it’s always nice to plan a dinner party at home where you can be as boisterous as you want without bothering the […]
It was 28 degrees this morning in New York. Definitely makes me regret dropping all my fur coats off for a little TLC last week. While I was talking to my furrier Anne Dee Goldin (by appointment via adg@goldin44.com or 917-282-6626), I inquired if she could rework vintage furs into blankets and she said anything […]
I happened to be in Soho Friday with my camera so I stopped by a few stores and showrooms. I haven’t been in BDDW in a while and it’s clear I should stop by more often. The furniture is always amazing but I really loved the autumn inspired wall hangings. They also seem to hold […]
Autumn in New YorkWhy does it seem so inviting?Autumn in New YorkIt spells the thrill of first-nighting Glittering crowds and shimmering cloudsIn canyons of steelThey’re making me feelI’m home It’s autumn in New YorkThat brings the promise of new loveAutumn in New YorkIs often mingled with pain Dreamers with empty handsMay sigh for exotic landsIt’s […]
While I was styling an early Thanksgiving table this week for a photo shoot, I was lamenting the fact that I don’t have a large collection of blue and white china like my friend Alice Ryan does above. I was also kicking myself for not buying up the boxes of china I’ve seen at the […]
One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots […]
November comes And November goes, With the last red berries And the first white snows. With night coming early, And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate. The fires burn And the kettles sing, And earth sinks to rest Until next spring. – Elizabeth Coatsworth Vincent Van Gogh by John Peter […]
Last week, I had the fun opportunity to visit chic jewelry designer Lele Sadoughi in her new Soho studio. It’s filled with treasures she’s brought back from trips and vintage furniture reupholstered in fun fabrics. And let’s not forget all the beautiful baubles. I first found Lele through Moda Operandi and since then, her pieces have […]
I remember seeing this apartment on the cover of the book New Paris Style but didn’t know the designer until today. It is the home of interior designer Florence Baudoux which is a Haussmann apartment of epic proportions. The entire space is painted grey and could be dark if it were not for the tall […]
