If Gary Cooper were alive today, he’d probably be photographed by all the street style bloggers outside the men’s shows during fashion week.  He might even have his own menswear blog.  I jest on that last statement of course but it is true that he did really have “enduring style” as the title of the […]

I’ve been loyal to Tom Ford sunglasses for years but I’m thinking it might be time for a switch. Or at least some new additions so I can mix things up. I ran across the German brand Mykita today on Style.com and might have to check them out.  Their sunglasses are not only favored by […]

I had a lovely brunch date today with everyone’s favorite comedic Canadian interior designer, Tommy Smythe.  Afterward, we perused the vintage offerings at the Garage Flea Market where we found a lot of amazing items that would have perfect for a bachelor pad project.  Maybe that’s the reason I felt like posting a little more […]

When I spoke on the panel at the Americas Mart in Atlanta in January, I was asked what trends I was seeing online.  I answered that I was noticing that more and more people were taking time to unplug.  I definitely saw some people roll their eyes and scoff at my observation.  Last night at […]

Sometimes I wish we could discuss artists or anyone for that matter without having to mention their gender. In the case of photographer Cindy Sherman, being a woman is an integral part of her work and therefore, cannot be ignored. Just opened at The Museum of Modern Art is a new exhibit, Cindy Sherman, which […]

I’ve heard that Bronson van Wyck and Lela Rose throw fabulous parties.  Stories don’t compare to experiencing in person the black and white extravaganza that the pair threw to celebrate Celerie Kemble‘s book Black & White (and a Bit in Between). On a rainy night, I headed down to Tribeca where I was blown away […]

The “Lady Luxe” spread from yesterday’s post was shot in two places designed by Lorenzo Castillo.  The Hotel Santo Mauro and his showroom/home in Madrid, Spain.  I really need to learn Spanish so I can read more about this talented interior designer but from what I can gather, he is also an antiques dealer and […]

While we’re on the subject of Mario Testino, how chic is this “Lady Luxe” spread he shot for the March issue of British Vogue. Let’s not get caught up on the fact that model Karlie Kloss seems to be floating or falling in every picture.  If you lived in a place that spectacular, you wouldn’t […]

I love the opportunity to peek into the homes of people whom I admire.  As my photography hobby becomes more important in my life, I am always looking at the work of others as inspiration.  Mario Testino is a photographer who is not only talented but seems to really enjoy himself as witnessed in The […]

It was a bit of a boring show but the Oscars didn’t disappoint in the fashion department.  I knew Meryl Streep was taking home the Oscar statuette when she showed up in a glittering gold Lanvin dress above.  It was a perfect match but there were a few other lovely ladies who get my vote […]

One sure fire way to be photographed by the street style photographers during fashion week is to wear color. Mr. Newton captured the inspiring outfit above in Milan for Harper’s Bazaar and I love the combination of neutrals, aqua, orange, and purple.  It not only looks nice as an outfit but also in art and […]

While out and about yesterday, I popped into the Ralph Lauren Ladies Mansion to see what was new at Ralph Lauren Home.  They had changed out the rooms for their new spring collections and I was blown away by Rosecliff which reflects “the casual grandeur of the coastal Northeast.” They think of everything to make […]

Yesterday, a friend mentioned noticing via Google how many posts I’ve written on Tory Burch.  I only write about people worth writing about especially when they create aesthetically pleasing products and/or interiors.  Both is true of Tory Burch and I love that her homes and stores inspire many with their great use of color and […]

I don’t recall seeing any photos of the Consuelo Castiglioni’s main residence but there are some great photos of her family’s home in Formentera, Spain.  I have never had a reputation for minimalism but in some instances I definitely think less is more, especially when the point of a place is rest and relaxation.  I […]

I think it was the married straight male magazine editor Glenn O’Brien who once told a woman who mentioned loving Marni that she was lucky she was married. It’s not exactly considered sexy. Although, I think it does look good on those Italian women with tan little arms and legs like its creator Consuelo Castiglioni. […]

It was really cold and snowy for part of New York Fashion Week which was a good excuse for the fashion flock to pull out their furs.  And with so many designers showing fabulous furs on the runway for fall, it definitely made me want to pull mine out too. I especially loved fur coats […]

I spent part of the morning catching up on all my favorite website including T magazine where there was a great story on Olatz Schnabel. Since splitting from artist Julian Schnabel, she’s moved into a new home and the wall colors are extraordinary.  They also reminded me so much of some of the great street […]
