I love receiving fashion designer Jenni Kayne‘s blog Rip + Tan, named after her children.  It’s full of healthy recipes, interesting profiles, and eco-friendly advice.  Maybe it’s because she and her family live in California. I’m also still in awe of her organizational skills that were on display in Martha Stewart Living magazine.  So there […]

Sleigh bells ring Are you listening In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away, is the bluebird Here to stay, is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build […]

  I couldn’t think of a more fun person to contribute a California chic and casual gift guide than interior designer, entertaining expert, and store owner Nathan Turner. As many of you probably saw of the show Million Dollar Decorators, he’s extremely funny and down to earth. I really think they should create a show […]

Even though Dina Fierro is a beauty blogger in addition to recently being the Vice President of Social/Digital at HL Group, she is the only person I trust when it comes to technology advice.  She was the person who who turned me on to Frends headphones and anytime she links to an article on Twitter, […]

If you are looking for a last minute holiday gift for someone you know or yourself, let me recommend presents from my friend Heidi Wynne.  She is generously offering HC readers 30% off her fabulous entire site including cashmere scarves and sweaters and even her straw bags and resort pieces perfect for a warm weather vacation […]

  I found this image on Pinterest and of course had to find the rest of the house. While it is in the Swedish Style, it is actually a home in Houston designed by Katrin Cargill Interiors. There is something about it that reminds me of Swan House which I posted earlier this week.  I […]

The annual highly anticipated Net-a-Porter Sale is now up to 70% off. There are still many amazing pieces still available so I thought it would be fun to create a few outfits to highlight a few of my favorites. The first outfit is a day look for a not so cold climate or one you […]

I was looking for holiday images when I came across photos of Christmas at Swan House.  Some show the gorgeous decorations that Dan Carithers created that were featured in an old issue of Southern Accents and some are new. They are all spectacular and make me want to book a trip to Atlanta asap. Since […]

There was no question that interior designer Ryan Korban would be the perfect person to write a luxury holiday gift guide. He is known for his glamorous interiors not just for the home but for retail stores such as Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. What I love most is that his look is sexy and elegant […]

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style In the air There’s a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights […]

I really thought I would be feeling better by now but I’m still sick. I’m starting to have cabin fever from staying home more than usual but I’m also having real cabin fever.  Pinterest was full of snowy winter cabins this morning that had me wishing I was visiting one this holiday season. It also […]

I know many of you will be visiting New York for the holidays so make sure you add The Polo Bar at Ralph Lauren to your must visit list.  It doesn’t open until next week but if it’s anything like the Ralph Lauren restaurants in Chicago and Paris, it will be a hit. The New York […]

It’s rainy, cold and grey in New York today. It matches my winter wardrobe, the mood in the city, and this color compilation post. Enjoy. Outfit in first photos via J.Crew. Stainless Steel and Rose Gold Rolex from 1962 via 1stdibs. Christian Dior

The day after I thought about asking my friend Alice Ryan Miller to contribute ideas for a children’s gift guide, she announced that she was pregnant with her third child with husband Kirk Miller. Talk about serendipity. Alice and Kirk have an precious six year old son Grey and an adorable two year old daughter […]

I’m back from Art Basel but battling a nasty cold.  Makes me wish I had stayed in sunny and warm Miami.  While I rest up and recover, I’m leaving you with a few pics of my trip. But I will have another lovely gift guide for you on Monday morning.

As someone who studied art history, I obviously have a love of everything artistic.  I will admit that even I don’t understand some contemporary art though. My visit to Art Basel has opened my eyes to many new artists and galleries.  I hope to recap my trip soon and introduce you to some of what […]

For some reason, I thought I would be able to get work done while I am in Miami.  I see how silly that was now.  Things have been crazy here so I will resume with my holiday gift guides on Sunday when I’m back in New York. Until then, I leave you with this amazing […]
