I’ve been thinking about getting a new rug for my living room and lucky for me, ABC Carpet & Home is having a Silk Rug Sample Sale. The sale features exquisite hand-knotted one-of-a-kind silk rugs from their well-known Aquasilk, Color Reform and Aura collections up to 50% off their original prices. If you’ve ever decorated […]
There are a lot of chic shops in New York but the recently renovated Rug Company showroom has them all beat! They have more room for their fashionable rugs and pretty pillows which now share space with lots of vintage furniture and accessories. I especially love the photographic wall hangings which I was told are […]
April is definitely not the cruelest month this year. There are so many great things to see, do, watch, and try whether you are experiencing beautiful spring weather or are hiding out from April showers. I’m sure many of you are familiar with Matouk linens and will be excited to know that they just opened […]
The New Moon in Capricorn today is a great day to restart your new year and a perfect time for a little wardrobe refresh. Since I didn’t post my usual “what I bought” post for December and Paris, I thought I would combine some of the favorite things I bought at the end of last […]
The time change comes at the beginning of every November and yet I still struggle with it every year. As soon as it gets dark at 5:00pm, I find it so hard to work and be productive since it feels like 8:00pm. I also have a trip to Paris coming up so there is the […]
It is a bit exciting that so many new hotels are opening in Paris and now you can add Le Grand Mazarin to that list. The 50 rooms and 11 suites that look like they take their color schemes directly from a box of Ladurée macarons. They were designed by London based interior designer Martin […]
I already posted my What I Bought for Fall post but since then I’ve added a few more pieces. They are some items I posted in my Instagram Stories but since many people won’t go looking for them in my saved Shopping highlights on my bio page, I thought I should post them here as […]
Summer is not my season and there is nothing I look forward to more than autumn in New York. Fall is the city’s finest season. There is energy and excitement in the air again as everyone returns to the city and fashion week begins. There are always many anticipated art exhibitions, design events, and auctions […]
The annual Dermstore Anniversary Sale is when I stock up on my favorite skincare products and try new ones. The sale includes skincare, makeup, haircare, devices, and brands like Augustinus Bader, Sunday Riley, EltaMD, Avene, Paula’s Choice, La Roche-Posay, Obagi, Christophe Robin, and more. If you could use a spring refresh, you can save up […]
It’s time for our annual Humidity Proof Hair post and the beginning of Leo season couldn’t be a better time, since Leos like Jennifer Lopez are known for their flowing locks. I actually started this post last week but I had some personal things to clear off my plate first. This post might actually be […]
This is always a quiet time for shopping as I anxiously await fall fashions to arrive in stores and online. The things I’m eyeing, buying, and trying right now need to be able to transition to September and October when it can still be quite hot. It’s now that I start choosing pieces that are […]
I love the magazine How to Spend It, although, they just had an unfortunate rebrand to just HTSI. I’m sure this acronym means nothing people who are not familiar with the magazine included in the weekend edition of the Financial Times. They have a regular interview feature that was also called How to Spend It […]
“In all of our projects”, says interior designer Timothy Corrigan, “we strive to create spaces that are comfortably elegant: where people feel that they are someplace special, while simultaneously feeling completely at ease. To that end, outdoor fabrics were used on the upholstered seating, along with a stain-resistant hide rug, to live up to the […]
I bought quite a few things for my April trip to Paris when the forecast was showing warmer weather but I ended up not packing any of them when it became clear that it would be rather chilly. I had the cool grey weather this year that I was expecting last year but it was […]
April is my favorite month and not just because it’s my birthday month. Everything is in bloom in New York and Paris and there are some great new exhibitions and shows and films to watch on the days that are rainy. N.B. I started this post before I left for Paris but was too busy […]
Thank you for all the lovely messages about my first gift guide this season. I’m back with even more chic and fun gifts for the entire family. Happy Shopping! If your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews need some new sleepwear this holiday season, Petit Plume has the nicest option. I especially like this Baby’s, Little […]
I waited all summer for September to arrive and I can’t believe it’s already over. Time flies when you are having fun! New York is back and even better than our pre-pandemic days. There are new restaurant and store openings, premiers and parties happening all over town. There are also so many television shows filming […]
