In an age when there are a million online shops and flash sale sites, I love that Fab is a fabulous destination for one stop shopping. They have vintage and new products for men, women, children, pets, your home…you name it, they’ve got it.  These are just a few of my new favorite Fab finds. […]

I was saddened to hear that legendary French interior designer Andrée Putman passed away in Paris Saturday at the age of 87.  She might be best know here in New York for designing the Morgans Hotel for Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager but she also designed many spaces and products in her famous minimalist style. I posted […]

It’s freezing in New York right now and I would give anything to be in Palm Beach like Hilary Rhoda in the spring 2013 Paule Ka ads.  It was shot by Venetia Scott at the Southways estate and is channeling the chic 1960’s. You can watch a cute behind the scenes video here too. 

Before you head over to Circolo on Bond Street, make sure you stop into Paula Rubenstein‘s new venue.  You may remember her old legendary shop on Prince Street. It was so jammed packed with treasures that I thought I was going to break something every time I entered.  When the landlord tripled her rent, she quietly […]

When my friend Abigail Jorgensen asked if I wanted to come downtown and check out a new Italian restaurant for which she is doing public relations, I immediately said yes.  The restaurant in question, Circolo is located on my favorite street in all of Manhattan, Bond Street, so I really couldn’t say no.  If you’ve […]

Fashion week is coming up soon and I’m not looking forward to all the crazy colorful street style characters looking for attention.  Right now, I’m inspired by a return to black and white simplicity (with a little grey thrown in as usual).  That’s not to say I’m anti-color but I like it used as an […]

The only thing that gets me through winter in New York are warm weather trips and fresh flowers. You can buy blooms at almost every corner bodega so it’s cheap and easy to arrange them in every room.  They’re the best pick me on a grey day like today.  Photo by me from instagram. 

There were a few themes of the 2013 Golden Globes: the flu, post-baby bodies, and odes to Angie’s right leg.  The popular colors ranges from red to black and lots of blush.  There really wasn’t anyone who stole the show but here are a few of my favorites.   Jennifer Lawrence won for Silver Linings […]

I posted these tips for being happy a little over a year ago but I think they deserve a second look as we enter the new year. Happy Weekend! 12 THINGS HAPPY PEOPLE DO DIFFERENTLY Studies conducted by positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky point to 12 things happy people do differently to increase their levels of […]

Today was one of those days that took me in a million different directions.  I swear I’m going to get things together soon but until then, here are a few pics that I have gravitated toward this week. The Carolyne Roehm image above makes me wish I had a dining room so I could set […]

While perusing my favorite websites this morning, I feel in love with these pics of a gorgeous casa in Cartagena, Colombia on Into the Gloss. Editor Alessandra Codinha was a guest over the holidays and shared some pics. I have a sample of the orange and pink Manuel Canovas toile fabric above that I’ve been […]

While cleaning out some magazines as part of my New Year’s resolution to be more organized, I came across this fabulous home.  It’s owned by Harry Slatkin and his family  and was featured in the August 2012 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  You may know them from their fabulous candle company but Harry is also one […]

This post started out as a look at brass hardware and faucets but morphed into a little more. Like a magpie or Marie Antoinette, I can’t resist anything gold or shiny.  Bon weekend!

After seeing this flat in Paris designed by Gilles & Boissier, I think a move to Paris might be at the top of my New Year’s resolution list now. It’s perfect in every way especially those herringbone floors and boiseries and gilt mirrors and….you get the idea.  Bon weekend!
