Most of the time, my Google Alerts don’t actually alert but today I am very happy that they did work.  Otherwise, I would not have known that The Telegraph named Habitually Chic one of The 20 Best Interiors Blogs. I’m extremely honored to be included with Apartment Therapy, Lonny, and The Selby among others. I also […]

I was running between uptown and downtown today so I’m behind on editing my photos from High Point.  Until those are ready, I leave you with this chic townhouse.  It’s owned by Delphine and Reed Krakoff and was just featured in Harper’s Bazaar. To read the entire story, click here.  You may remember it from Vogue […]

Keeping with our neutral theme of yesterday is the Oly Studio showroom in High Point.  They debuted a lot of great new products this market Thibault Lounge above with claw feet and magnetic bolsters that always stay put. The wall decoration added to the beauty of the showroom. The new Astro Shelves are a great […]

I love this outfit that was photographed by Facehunter during fashion week.  The color combination makes a lovely ensemble and also decorating scheme.  The pop of black adds a little punctuation to neutral shades like camel, brown, ivory, and white.   The best part of using these shades in a room is that you can […]

I came across this very chic home in Spain designed by Isabel Lopez Quesada.  I love the rustic wood and natural touches like the river stones above.  Definitely looks like a mix of Belgian and Swedish design than anything Spanish but it seems to work. I’m surprised we don’t see more of this talented interior […]

I realized recently that I haven’t been giving enough love to my male readers.  And yes, I do have them.  What better way to say I heart you than with a fall fashion and decor melange that was inspired by Jenna Lyons’ dining room above.  All the fashion photos are by my favorite street style […]

I love Diptyque candles and their great black and white packing.  Their black and white store design however didn’t really make me want to stay and shop.  All that is about to change starting with the Bleecker Street store redesign to help celebrate the iconic brands 50th anniversary.  Christopher Jenner of Jenner Studio UK took […]

I’ve had the minty color of the coat above that Tommy Ton photographed during fashion in my head for weeks.  I used to associate it more with spring but I’m loving it all year long now.  J.Crew has many pieces in this chic color in their new catalog so now we can easily add it […]

I have no idea who designed this apartment but I can tell you that it’s located in Paris.  I just love the beautiful architectural details and living room colors.  Sometimes that’s all it takes to make me happy. And an Yves Klein coffee table doesn’t hurt. UPDATE: A few eagle eyed readers recognized that the […]

I apologize for the lack of post yesterday.  Today for those of you who subscribe.  I started a post and then the day got away from me.  I was going to finish it this morning but then accidentally deleted the photos in the post.  While I work on redoing that one, I leave you with […]

The third space in the Hearst Designer Visions Show House was designed by Thomas O’Brien of Aero Studios for Veranda magazine.  He was inspired by the 1987 firm Someone to Watch Over Me starring Mimi Rogers and Tom Berenger.  A bit more by the song of the same name and the prewar glamour of the […]

Jed Johnson Associates is a wonderful design firm in New York but the one I had the least familiarity with at the Hearst Designer Visions Cinema Style Show House.  It was nice to be able to see their work up close and learn more about then.  While I knew that Jed Johnson had died in […]

One of my favorite events every year is the Hearst Designer Visions Cinema Style Show House.  They usually hold it in a newly constructed residential building and the three chosen designers are paired with a Hearst magazine and choose a film as inspiration for their spaces.  Since the building this year is 1212 Fifth Avenue […]

One of the reasons I always wanted to move to New York was Studio 54.  Growing up, I would hear stories of this magical place where like in New York itself, anything was possible including seeing Bianca Jagger riding a white horse.  So when I was recently asked if I would like to attend the grand […]

I am always adding items to my life wish list and owning an apartment in Paris is definitely one of them. You can’t see that much of Julie de Libran‘s Saint Germain de Pres apartment but part of the appeal is definitely the location and her enviable closet.  As the Design Director of Louis Vuitton, […]

While the rest of you are hopefully sleeping in on this beautiful Columbus Day, I’m off to Chicago.  I want to thank everyone who sent recommendations and suggestions for the city.  The Architecture Foundation Boat Tour was mentioned by so many that I will definitely try to schedule one during my visit. Danke Schoen! Photo […]
