Habitually Chic®'s Logo  

My friend Heidi Wynne came over recently to show me her new cashmere collection for fall. Now that the weather seems to finally be turning cooler, I thought I would share her very chic new offerings with you.  As you know, I couldn’t live without her wraps.  I wore them almost everyday in Paris and […]

Red Hot Reese

I was wondering why the October issue of Vogue magazine was so late to the newsstand.  Perhaps the cover line about “George Clooney’s Ravishing Bride” has something to do with it. His wedding to Amal Alamuddin just took place in Venice, Italy this past weekend.  But it’s lovely Reese Witherspoon who graces the cover is […]

Singing sensation and sometimes wild child Lily Allen seems to have settled down now that she’s married with two children.  She and her family have moved to the charming Cotswolds area about two hours from London.  Vogue featured the home in their September 2014 issue but I’ve also found a few more photos of the […]

This fashion month might be the best yet for street style.  There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]

Puttin’ on the Ritz

In honor of Paris Fashion Week and in anticipation of the Hotel Ritz reopening next year, I thought I would post these chic photos of Kate Moss taken before the closure by Tim Walker for Vogue. Everyone is hoping that they haven’t ruined the iconic design so it will be interesting to see how Thierry W. […]

Drake’s London

Someone recently asked me what was new for menswear for fall.  The best thing about men’s fashion is that it doesn’t really change.  A man could buy a well made piece and keep it for a lifetime.  But if you or the man in your life needs a little upgrade, definitely check out Drake’s of London. Their […]

Petite Chic

Every time I think that T magazine can’t possibly out do themselves, they manage to surprise me.  Featured in the Design Issue that will be included in The New York Times this Sunday, September 28th is the New York apartment of designer Stephen Sills.  While it is well known and has been published before, it is my […]

Fashion week has begun in Paris and all the Instagram photos have me slightly regretting not returning to the City of Light to attend. Although, I’m sure my Air France flight would have been cancelled so it’s probably for the best.  When I do go back, the first place on my must visit list is Le […]

I’m usually not a fan of new construction but I am quite impressed with the design of 224 Mulberry Street I saw on Curbed today. It was developed by Flank to complement the other buildings in the neighborhood and as though it were in a landmarked district.  Although, I’m sure most of the other buildings […]

Sweater Weather

Today marks the first day of fall and the chill in the air means it’s officially sweater weather. C magazine featured some of the best knitwear of the season in their September issue.  If the Oscar de la Renta Cable Knit Sweater above is a little out of your price range, you could try the Ivory Cable […]

Bilbao Beauty

An image on Pinterest led to this interesting and masculine apartment in Bilbao, Spain. It belongs to Mikel Larrinaga and was featured in Singular Magazine and Nuevo Estilo. While it’s not my style overall, I love the collected look of the art and the neutral colors punctuated with black accents. It’s one of those apartments that makes […]

Sorry for the light posts this week. I’m still trying to get caught up from my summer abroad. I have some great posts planned for next week to make up for this so make sure you check back.  In the meantime, I’m sharing a photo I posted on Instagram this morning.  Hyacinths are usually only available […]

I mentioned Ralph’s Coffee last week but thought you might want to see a few photos. The new cafe is located on the second floor of the new Polo Ralph Lauren store on Fifth Avenue and it’s worth the trek.  You can eat in their chic seating area or get something to go after shopping […]

My favorite seasonal quote is the one from The Great Gatsby below, “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” While autumn doesn’t officially start until next week, it has gotten crisp in New York. Not only is everyone happy to no longer be sweating but they are also happy to […]

Sir John’s Sanctuary

Also out this weekend is the Men’s Style issue of T Magazine.  I already picked up a copy and let out an audible gasp when I saw the photos of the Connecticut home of Sir John Richardson inside.  The London-born Richardson started his career in the art world by opening the New York office of Christie’s […]

Masculine in Milan

Just a reminder that the WSJ. Magazine will be included in the Wall Street Journal newspaper on Saturday, September 13th. It’s the Men’s Issue which  is chock full of stories that will appeal to everyone  including a cover feature on Pharrell Williams.  I already an advance copy, and one story that I really appreciated was a profile of […]

Admiring Annina

My new favorite street style subject is C magazine fashion editor Annina Mislin.  Her style is an interesting combination of conservative and daring. While I would never wear a bra top and open shirt on the street, I admire her moxie and her abs.  Someone needs to find out her workout routine  and post it […]
