Fall is the best fashion season and I’m excited by all the new collections including the one that just launched from Sèzane today. It’s filled with great colors and styles to be paired with suede boots and bags among other pieces. Scott Trench comes in khaki, camel, and navy Jacob Jumper is available in camel, […]

I started working on this post on Thursday and kept getting sidetracked. But I wanted to finally get it up today so you can know about all the exciting time sensitive things happening online and in the real world. There are some great exhibitions on view now and coming up, as well as, new books […]

I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track. They’ve already come back but as Americans go back to school and work after this long Labor Day weekend, it’s a time […]

One of my followers alerted me to the real estate listing for the home of Ann and Sid Mashburn in Atlanta that just sold. Ann talked about the reason for the move in her “You Need This…I Promise” posts on the Ann Mashburn website. Two of their daughters have a rare degenerative neurological disease and […]

Sorry for the radio silence this week. I’ve been on vacation in the Hamptons enjoying some fun in the sun and great shopping. Speaking of shopping, there are a lot of great deals to be had on full price and sale merchandise during the Labor Day Weekend sales happening now. 24S – Up to 70% off […]

I’ve lived in New York a long time and I feel like I’ve seen everything so it takes a lot to impress me, but I can honestly say that 40 East End Avenue is truly impressive. The newly completed building on the Upper East Side from real estate developer Lightstone was designed by internationally renowned […]

I’m spending part of my vacation next week in Sag Harbor. I can’t wait to see all my friends and what’s new in town. A few stores have moved including Bloom whose long time location was purchased by a designer. She moved close by and I’m sure it’s just as chic as the old store […]

“September is the January of fashion” pronounced fashion editor Candy Pratts Price in the 2009 fashion documentary, The September Issue, and I have to agree. There is something about autumn that will always remind me of back to school shopping except now with much chicer styles. I always start my shopping early because that’s when there are the most options available. Before […]

Another insanely chic auction coming up this fall is A Parisian pied-à-terre curated by Hubert de Givenchy at Christie’s in Paris on 14 September 2021. The “collection of a major international collector” is rumored to be from Philippe Venet, who died at the age of 91 earlier this year and was the longtime partner of […]

I always find it amazing that the whole of Europe can be en vacances at the same exact time. I exaggerate of course, but only slightly. I haven’t done a color post in a while so this one is inspired by holidays spend on Greek isles and Italian beaches. @valerieleberichel @aerin Belted lace-trimmed cotton dress […]

I started to suspect that thick and chunky gold necklaces would be big soon after seeing them at the couture shows in Paris this past July. My suspicions were confirmed this week aftering seeing them on most of the attendees at Copenhagen Fashion Week. They’re an easy way to transition your outfits for the end […]

My favorite part of fall, besides the fashions, are all the auctions and art fairs. There are always some spectacular sales and this year is no exception. This September, Christie’s will offer Jasper Conran: The Collection Parts I and II which will be filled his country house collections including those from his majestic apartment in […]

I’ve started wearing a Revere Signet Ring and thought it might be nice to put together a post together on the history and etiquette of how to wear them. I took this photo of gold Byzantine signet rings from 900-1300 inscribed with Greek at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to The History Press, signet […]

One of my favorite projects last year was styling a dining table for the Sotheby’s Dining IN Online Sale. When they asked me to style a table for the Sotheby’s Dining IN New York Online Sale this year, I was more than happy to oblige. It’s a dream to be style a table with some […]

One of my favorite Instagram friends Kimmie Noel is one of the most creative people I know. Last year, she made the most charming Scrooge ornaments to commemorate 2020, a scrooge of a year. She made me one as a gift that has the same colors as the middle Scrooge above and when I posted […]

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has finally opened to everyone. Some things have sold out but there are still some lovely items left for fall. Remember, the items on sale are new for autumn and not left over on sale items from summer. I bought this Double Face Wool Coat in charcoal grey and this shitake […]

I started following designer Camilla Guinness on Instagram earlier this year and was thinking about putting a post together. Today, her villa in Tuscany was featured on House & Garden so it felt like the perfect time. She shares the house named Arniano that she decorated with her daughters Amber and Claudia. Amber lives in […]
