I was honored to be asked to co-host a benefit for Pancreatic Cancer Research next week and hope all of you will stop by to support this important cause.  The event will take place from 7:00-11:00pm on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at the Tribeca Grand Hotel Church Bar.  To RSVP, please email Amina Akhtar, aminaakhtar@mac.com.

Even though Pantone has declared Tangerine Tango the color for 2012, I still think yellow is going to be just as big.  From shades resembling an egg yolk to pale lemon, it’s bright and cheerful yet chic. Yellow and black usually reminds me of a bubble bee or Steelers uniform, but it’s starting to grow […]

After a brief reprieve of warmer temps on Saturday, we’re back to feeling the winter chill in New York.  Perfect time to revisit my trip to Morocco and luxurious stay at the Four Season Marrakech.  The hotel had only been open for a few short months when we arrived and we were the very first […]

Just a reminder that everyone’s favorite period series Downton Abbey returns to PBS this Sunday, January 8th.  I was lucky enough to attend a screening of the first episode and Q&A with some members of the cast last month.  I also was a naughty girl and then watched the entire season 2 online because I […]

My love of orange is no secret.  Especially burnt orange. I saw a space so beautifully decorated with the color yesterday that it inspired me to put together another little compilation inspiration post.  Enjoy.  All photos from tumblr

I was very impressed with the dignified and classy way that Demi Moore handled the recent collapse of her marriage to Aston Kutcher.  It’s also nice to see her happy and looking gorgeous in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  More importantly, I hope Ashton sees the cover of this issue everywhere he goes for […]

Over the holidays, my friend Jessica and I visited an amazing exhibition organized by the Marlborough Gallery downtown in the old Mercantile Exchange building. Le Cabinet de Curiosités, is a show conceived and curated by Thierry Despont, where “contemporary art converges with 18th- and 19th-century antiquities in a setting that blurs the confines of time and […]

If you are a long time reader, then you will know my love of the book Write It Down, Make It Happen.  Instead of making New Year’s resolutions that just get broken a few weeks later, why not outline your goals for the year. I just went back and reread my New Year, New Goals post […]

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring […]

Photographer Sophie Elgort linked to this article on twitter and I thought it was definitely worth posting here.  As we start the New Year thinking about how we can be more organized or on time, perhaps we should start by working on being happy.  Most of my friends will attest that I’m a pretty happy glass half […]

I could spend hours taking photos and editing them before posting but they will never get as much attention as an inspiration compilation post.  So why bother fighting it.  My friends at Flair Home also asked for more posts “for the boys” so I’m going to try to be better about making everyone happy.  I […]

Helen Frankenthaler December 12, 1928 – December 27, 2011 I was saddened to learn of the death of abstract expressionist artist Helen Frankenthaler today at the age of 83. She was born into a wealthy Upper East Side family and worked steadily as an artist for more than 50 years.  She was influenced by art […]

My friend Martha posted this list of 10 Secrets to Success on her tumblr last week.  Her father left it on her dresser for her when she came home for the holidays. As we prepare for the New Year, I think it’s an excellent list to get us off on the right foot and turns […]

Sorry for the absence.  I stayed in New York this holiday and was off enjoying myself.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah wherever you spent them.  My father suggested recently that I tell the story of the Christmas that Santa left me every present a five year could have ever imagine […]

The most exciting about my new apartment is that it has room for a large Christmas tree.  Even better was that Green Valley Christmas Trees was kind enough to send me one. I haven’t put up a tree in a few years and it was so much fun unpacking all my old ornaments.  I especially […]

I’d like to wish all my Jewish friends and readers a very Happy Hanukkah!  Enjoy some latkes for me! All photos via Martha Stewart

When I was in Louisville, Kentucky recently, I was lucky enough to stop by the shop of interior designer Lee W. Robinson.  It was already decorated for Christmas and looked like Santa’s very chic workshop. I bought a few things for myself and friends for the holidays and can’t wait to go back.  If you […]
