I want to apologize for not posting early on Monday as usual.  I was out looking at apartments…for five hours.  I haven’t had to go through this process for over five years and I am ready to keel over from exhaustion.  I did not find my dream home today but I have hope for one […]

In honor of Father’s Day, I’m posting something that I know all men and actually a lot of women would love to receive.  Enjoy! Slim Aarons Aerin Lauder via Vogue Living Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Photo by Douglas Friedman Elle Decor Photo by Douglas Friedman Absolutely Beautiful Things

I found this funny flowchart of how the music your father’s favorite music indicates what you listen to today on Mashable.  Happy Father’s Day!

There really isn’t anything geeky about these bespeckled beauties including Carrie Donovan above but there is definitely something about a pair of glasses that makes the wearer appear smarter.  I had a cab driver ask me today if I worked at Citibank. A random question to say the least but I chalk it up to […]

After months of work and planning, I can’t believe that the the Microsoft Preview event is over.  Big thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and made it a huge success!  For those of you who missed the story, Microsoft decided to try something new for this year’s Preview event to introduce their new products to […]

I spent all day yesterday styling for my Microsoft event and today will be hosting press all day and a fabulous party tonight.  I look forward to seeing many of you there and will be of course posting picture soon.  Until then, I leave you with this gorgeous photos of Emma Watson from the new […]

I’ve always heard that Courteney Cox enjoys renovating and decorating homes so when ELLE DECOR offered me a sneak peek at Malibu retreat. She worked on the interiors with designer Trip Haenisch to create a “modern barn” look and feel.  I especially love how the vintage bar stools warm up the white contemporary kitchen. For more photos […]

A friend recently asked for wedding site referrals to help his friend plan her wedding in Barcelona.  While I don’t think it would be right for Spain, his request did remind me that I never posted photos from this fabulous wedding in France.  I saw it in Veranda magazine and all of the details really caught […]

Part of my job for the Microsoft Preview event includes picking out and styling the flowers.  Hydrangea will definitely be on my shopping list. If you are lucky enough to live in an area with abundant bushes, you can just go right outside and cut them.  I will be picking mine up from the Flower District […]

As a blogger and interior designer, I use technology everyday but that doesn’t mean that I know what I’m doing.  I end up figuring out a lot of things as I go but always wish I had more help.  So when Microsoft contacted me about styling their upcoming Preview event and said they would help […]

It’s going to be 95 degrees today and 98 degrees tomorrow.  Needless to say, I’d rather be cooling off in a pool instead of running around to appointments in the steamy city.  Since I can’t play hookey, I’m hoping that these pool pictures will help me think cool thoughts.  Except for the last one of […]

Since I didn’t write a packing post for my last trip, I thought it might be fun to post some of my summer outfits.  One of my male friends was making fun of me for laying out all my clothes for trips and joked about doing it himself.  My first thought was that a male packing […]

Arthur Elgort was honored with the Council of Fashion Designers of America Board of Directors Award for his photography Monday night.  Grace Coddington presented him the award so you know it was special. Arthur Elgort has been shooting since the 1970’s and his photos are always gorgeous and often amusing.  Some of my favorites include those he […]

Big thanks to Sheridan Road magazine for recently including Habitually Chic among their SR Loves. I am especially excited that not only enjoy the blog content but also mention that my sponsorship “ads are worth clicking on.”  It was always my hope that that my sponsors would be companies that I already endorsed and those […]

“Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do.” – Jean de la Bruyere I posted this photo on my tumblr page and couldn’t resist sharing it here as well.  When you stop to smell the roses this summer, definitely stop and smell the hydrangea too! Photo by […]

As most long time readers know, I’m obsessed with gardens.  Kind of funny considering how much I hate bugs and even more so spiders.  But as a city dweller, I long to be able to see greenery outside my window and to take a walk in nature whenever I desire.  I do try to take […]

I just realized that it’s June and I don’t have a vacation planned yet!  I do have some work trips on the agenda but that’s different.  I long for a week where I can really relax and recharge my batteries.  I saw grand hotel Villa Feltrinelli on Luxury Culture yesterday and felt relaxed just looking […]
