I’m still under the weather and having all sorts of technical difficulties today.  (When it rains, it pours.)  Makes me wish I had a place to escape to like designer Daniel Romualdez.  Not only is his new weekend home in Connecticut chic but it used to belong to fashion designer Bill Blass.  I love that […]

The consensus is that we’re all tired of seeing the same girls on every street style site.  That’s why I found J.J. Martin’s real style refreshing.  She’s the Italian Editor at Large for Wallpaper (talk about dream job!) and always looks like she’s wearing her own clothes not pieces given to her by fashion houses.  I keep […]

What’s black and white and red all over?  It’s interior designer Alexa Hampton‘s space in the Hickory Chair showroom in High Point.  She wanted to do something bold that was classic and modern at the same time and she got it.  I especially love the tape and upholstery tack detail along the walls and neoclassical […]

Everyone who came to my very first book signing at the new Design Legacy showroom in High Point commented that it was the perfect backdrop.  It was filled with pops of my favorite color orange that matched the book cover.  But it was also filled with their fabulous mix of vintage and new accessories, furniture, […]

During fashion week, I read that Vanessa Traina was a newlywed.  I didn’t realize she had gotten married so a quick Google search ensued.  I found beautiful black and white images of her wedding to artist Max Snow on Purple DIARY by Oliver Zahm online and wondered if it would be published in Vogue. Today […]

Of all the scenarios I thought would play out at High Point Furniture Market, getting sick did not figure into the mix.  A nasty cold has completely felled me and ravaged my throat.  Until I can get it together, I’m leaving you with photos from the townhouse Jeffrey Bilhuber redesigned for Trey Laird and his […]

I’m off to North Carolina today for the High Point Furniture Market.  You can follow along in real time on twitter and instagram as I scope out the showrooms for the chicest new pieces for the home.  I’ll also be posting while I’m away so you won’t be left alone.  If you’re at High Point, […]

One of the shows I regret not attending during fashion week in New York was Barbara Tfank.  My friend Blue Carreon saw it and raved not only about the clothing but also the venue.  It was shown in an Upper East Side apartment of interior designer Michael Smith and was a perfect pairing.  You can […]

I’m knee deep in preparations (styling, cleaning, hiding magazines) for a photo shoot in my apartment Friday.  That is definitely the reason for lighter posts this week. If you need something more to read, I highly suggest heading over to Lonny magazine to read the October issue.  It’s chock full of fabulous interiors including this […]

I like to dress up when I travel because you never know who you might see.  I think this is even more important as I embark on my book tour.  Now you can shop some of my chic travel picks at Barneys.  Happy Shopping!

I’m thrilled to announce that my very first book signing will be this weekend at the High Point Furniture Market.  Creativity at Work will not be released until October 30th so this is your chance to get an advance copy and sip a glass of champagne in the brand new Design Legacy showroom.  They are […]

I live for the days when I find a new issue of Australia Vogue Living on the newsstand.  It’s always full of interesting and chic interiors and the September/October 2012 issue features my new favorite home.  I also found a few other pics on a blog that allow you to see a little more of […]

I love anything with a good patina.  Not quite as much as John Derian though.  His new East Village apartment featured in T magazine is a study in how to renovate without making everything look brand new while diminishing the possibility of an electrical fire. In his hands, a former sculpture studio has become a […]

The weather is turning cooler in most of the country and that means fall shopping.  To help you get ready for autumn, DIANI Boutique has generously offered Habitually Chic readers 15% off full price goods (with the exception of Isabel Marant) and sale items (with the exception of the final sale 60-90% off section.) Use […]

I don’t know what I love more about this kitchen designed by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, the blue color, the herringbone floors, or the miles of display cabinets.  To quote Rachel Zoe, “I die.” Bon Weekend!  Photos by  Line Thit Klein

Paris fashion week is fini and so are all the spring 2013 shows.  I can barely make it through New York fashion week so I don’t know how the editors make it through a whole month. The Paris street style looks were filled with a lot of black but also a lot of great coats. […]
