It is a bit exciting that so many new hotels are opening in Paris and now you can add Le Grand Mazarin to that list. The 50 rooms and 11 suites that look like they take their color schemes directly from a box of Ladurée macarons. They were designed by London based interior designer Martin […]

I’m often asked what someone should wear in NYC or Paris in a particular month of the year. This is virtually impossible to answer due to climate change. I need to have three seasons of clothing available in my closet at all times since the temperature vacillates so wildly from week to week. I was […]

I’m still using a lot of the makeup I bought last fall but I’ve made a few changes so I thought I’d walk you through my new routine for fall 2023. Of course, you need a good base for makeup and I take skincare very seriously. You can find the products I use and treatments […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my favorite thing about ME+EM, is how many of their pieces you can mix and match to create multiple outfits and their October Collection is no different. It’s full of cozy knits and gorgeous coats to get you ready for colder weather, weather that feels just […]

As soon as I heard Charlotte Gainsbourg was going to open her father, Serge Gainsbourg’s house at 5 bis rue de Verneuil for tours, I immediately put it on my Paris Guide because I knew it would be incredibly popular. It just opened this week and the combined house and museum tickets are already sold […]

I’m all about sweater dresses and separates this fall since they feel like loungewear but make you look totally put together. They are perfect for those who have to go back to the office but with they were still working from home. They look especially great with knee high boots which you definitely need to […]

The Saint James and Relais Christine hotels in Paris are beloved by guests and now the group behind them have just opened a new hotel, Hôtel Norman. Billed as “open, vibrant, lively”, the hotel which opened today has a younger and more contemporary look for its 37 rooms and suites located at 9 rue Balzac […]

The weather is finally feeling like autumn with a slight chill in the air, and it is time to think about cashmere and cozy knits. Heidi Wynne’s fall collection of fisherman knit sweaters and cashmere wraps was inspired by the beauty of Ireland. Lush green rolling hills and farmland, brisk walks along the Irish sea, […]

I’ve received so many messages from women who are kicking themselves for snoozing on the Cos sweater and skirt sets that I posted in August. I’m hoping that they will place some of these new sweater and skirt sets in their cart and checkout immediately because these are pretty spectacular. I’m all in on this […]

This morning, I headed down to Soho in 90 degree humidity for a preview of Banana Republic‘s new home and fashion collections in their new temporary space at 515 Broadway. First, I want to clarify that this is not a sponsored post. I have already been loving the fall fashions from Banana Republic and I […]

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 time to […]

I already posted my What I Bought for Fall post but since then I’ve added a few more pieces. They are some items I posted in my Instagram Stories but since many people won’t go looking for them in my saved Shopping highlights on my bio page, I thought I should post them here as […]

I used to get too excited about wearing fall clothes and would end up sweating to death in September. I finally learned my lesson and now I try to plan better transitional outfits for warmer weather. I’ve partnered with Net-a-Porter to help you figure out what to wear early in the season with their new […]

Summer is not my season and there is nothing I look forward to more than autumn in New York. Fall is the city’s finest season. There is energy and excitement in the air again as everyone returns to the city and fashion week begins. There are always many anticipated art exhibitions, design events, and auctions […]
