I can’t believe that November magazines are already on newsstands. The latest issue of Architectural Digest features the West Village townhouse of actress Julianne Moore that’s surprisingly down to earth for a movie star. I appreciate that it looks like she decorated it herself and that is feels very personal. “I like things that have real […]
After a whirlwind week, I’m Bermuda bound this morning for a weekend of rest and relaxation at the Hamilton Princess Hotel and Beach Club. While many islands in the Caribbean are still recovering from recent hurricanes, Bermuda was left untouched due to its location which is just 655 miles off the coast of North Carolina. […]
All of my fashion friends are in Paris this week and before they left, I suggested they stop by the new Buly 1803 in the Marais. This new location not only carries their cult beauty products but also has a cafe, Grand Café Tortoni. One of my friends who visited said she preferred the original […]

Their new home, Clark House, in New Canaan, Connecticut also has a interesting past. It was purchased by heiress Huguette Clark in 1952 as a safe place to escape […]
I just learned the sad news that artist Jeremiah Goodman passed away at home this morning. I was lucky enough to meet Jeremiah for a profile on the blog and to photograph him for my book. Below is part of what I wrote after meeting him for the first time. It was really interesting to […]
It feels like everyone I follow on Instagram has been in the south of France this summer. That’s how I came across Le Mas des Poiriers. Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam stopped by the the recently renovated 18th-century farmhouse on a pear orchard (Poire is the French word for pear) in Avignon and posted beautiful photos. […]

Founders Ramdane Touhami and Victoire de Taillac have […]
As you know, my dream is to buy and renovate a French chateau someday. Galerie Flore owner Flore de Brantes inherited her chateau from her father but that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done. As she tells Architectural Digest in their October 2016 issue, “With a château, there is always a project.” She and […]
Sometimes I have to stop looking at Instagram since it looks like everyone is en vacances in Europe right now. The two hot spots I’ve noticed from my feed are Corsica and the Amalfi Coast and Russian fashionista Mira Duma has hit both this week. Not only am I loving her picture post card perfect […]
Everyone knows that space is at a premium in New York but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style in a small apartment. While Cole Wilson works at One Kings Lane and had help pulling her place together from OKL Studio designer Alex Reid, it’s still a great example of how you can […]
