I was going to post something else today but then I thought those of us experiencing grey skies and snow showers could use a burst of color.  Bon weekend! via AD Espana Cacharel Furbish via The Glitter Guide Sterling Style design by Frank de Biasi Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Vintage via Inaluxe via Frassy […]

One of my readers emailed me for advice on choosing a new bag.  She was trying to decide between a Celine Phantom tote and a YSL Muse bag. I told her that I think Celine bags have become a new classic and it would stay in style longer. As you can see from these examples, they […]

I still have Paris on my mind so why not post a super chic flat by Studio Ko.  As you know, the only time I like clean lined contemporary furniture is when it’s surrounded by fancy boiserie paneling. I also love that the upholstery picks up the color of the gilt mirrors.  Those giraffes are […]

The best part of Paris Fashion Week are all the amazing venues.  I may not be there to enjoy them in person but I love seeing them each day on Instagram.  The Alexander McQueen autumn/winter 2013 show was held in the Grand Foyer of the L’Opéra Comique yesterday which perfectly complimented the intricately beaded dresses and […]

All the tweets and photos from Paris Fashion Week have me itching for a trip to the City of Lights. If tax time wasn’t coming up (what’s a refund?) I’d be on an Air France flight tomorrow.  Since I’m stuck in the City that Never Sleeps which is also currently freezing, I’ll make do by […]

Every search on the internet ends in a trip down the rabbit hole but it usually turns out for the best.  That’s how I found this duplex apartment in Madrid designed by one of my favorite designers Lorenzo Castillo.  From what I can gather from my limited Spanish, it might be for his brother Santiago […]

I was trying to find who designed the bedroom in this apartment last week to no avail.  Then today, I stumbled upon it while looking for something else.  Don’t you just love when that happens? Turns out it is the Madrid apartment of Ramon Garcia Juardo and his partner Paco Pocovi who live and work together.  It […]

When I spotted Sasha Adler’s Chicago apartment in the March 2013 issue of ELLE, I remembered that I had an entire folder devoted to the the Nate Berkus Associates design directors.  The other being Lauren Buxbaum.  Not only are their home chic and stylish but their personal style is pretty perfect too. I joked once […]

When it comes to shopping for each new season, if you snooze you lose.  I’ve learned this lesson the hard way by missing out on quite a few pieces so now I shop early…and often.  The new Emerson Fry Spring 2013 Collection just went online today and the sunny California vibe is is welcome respite […]

What are we supposed to do now that awards season and Downton Abbey are over?  I supposed we should go out for some fresh air and exercise or we could stay home for three more nights watching Parade’s End on HBO.   The Tom Stoppard written five part mini-series starts tonight and runs through Thursday. […]

I bet some people don’t even realize that Elsa Peretti is a real person and that she’s still designing her eponymous collection for Tiffany & Co. She began her career as a model before branching out into jewelry design.  There is a great new interview with the Italian designer in the new issue of Time […]

Not all the stars attend the Academy Awards ceremony.  Some go straight to the Vanity Fair Oscars party like Rose Byrne who looked amazing.  I just got my hair cut Friday but after seeing her chic shoulder grazing do, I wish I had gone shorter.  I’m also loving her bright bright pinky red lipstick.  For […]

The 2013 Oscar awards ceremony may have fallen flat due to Seth MacFarlane but luckily most of the red carpet gowns hit it out of the park.  Best actress winner Jennifer Lawrence has a contract with Dior so it was no surprise that she wore Dior Haute Couture.  I wish I had a photo of […]

Celine bags aren’t just loved by the ladies. I found the wonderful blog We Could Grow Up Together after spying the photo of one of his Celine bags above somewhere on the internets.  The author, Kwannam Chu,  is a peripatetic photographer and creative director who chronicles his life, travels and work in his own unique […]

On Valentine’s Day, I won this amazing red Celine Phantom bag from Vaunte.  I never win anything and I still can’t believe I won a Celine bag.  I’m not telling you this to gloat but to remind you that you can’t win if you don’t play.  A good reminder for contests and life! Bon Weekend!  […]

I’ve been reading Who What Wear since they launched in 2006 so it was a huge treat to be able to meet the founders and tour their offices when I was in Los Angeles last month.  Even more exciting was visiting the fashion closet.  As we all know, everyone thinks that the fashion world revolves […]

I LOVE this color block outfit (it’s Prada) that Amanda Seyfried was wearing that was posted on Who What Wear today.  It’s freezing again in New York and this ensemble is getting me even more excited for spring.  It also reminds me of a few other things I’ve seen recently.  I have been stalking these […]
