Every week, I tell myself that I’m not going to buy any more books and of course, every week I buy another book. I just can’t help myself. I love all the pretty photos and wonderful stories. Some are silly summer beach reads and others are highly sought after collectibles but I love them all […]

I really liked Danielle Ganek‘s debut novel, Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him, and I’m hoping that her second proves just as enjoyable. While the first dealt with the sometimes absurd New York art scene, The Summer We Met Gatsby is about “two half-sisters search for the ‘thing of utmost value’ in an inherited ramshackle […]

My love of Phillip Lim‘s work is no secret and not only does the spring collection go on sale today but they have released a fascinating video of the making of the finale dress. I was deeply inspired by the Picasso exhibition at the Gagosian gallery last year and it was exciting to hear that […]

If you haven’t picked up the June 2010 issue of House Beautiful, you’re missing out. I am especially loving this beach house filled with shades of blue designed by Jim Howard. Bon Weekend! Photos by Francesco Lagnese

The CFDA was very busy this week. First, they announced that they would be releasing American Fashion Designers at Home this fall and today, they have unveiled their collaboration with the Gap. The three CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners, Monique Péan, Patrik Ervell and Sophie Théallet, have designed special pieces that will be sold exclusively at […]

Ron Galella was the original stalkerazzi and his most famous prey was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He tormented her and even followed her to Capri. She obtained a restraining order against him. The New York Post at the time called it “the most co-dependent celeb-pap(arazzi) relationship ever.” Without Ron Galella, we wouldn’t have any of these […]

The new J.Crew Bridal Boutique on Madison Avenue at 66th Street is officially open for business. Luckily for those of us not about to tie the knot, the store will also carry party dresses and jewelry, as well as scents by Histoire de Parfums. The boys won’t be left out for long since a men’s […]

Before summer has even officially begun, all good fashionistas start focusing on fall and not just for the clothes. I am giddy with excitement over the upcoming release of American Fashion Designers at Home which was a collaboration between the CFDA and Assouline. The chic read will include the homes of 115 fashion designers including […]

Since I’ve already written about Carrie and Big’s apartment in the new Sex and the City movie, I thought it would be fun to take a look inside the home of the original Carrie Bradshaw, Candace Bushnell. ELLE DECOR just posted these photos and I’m so happy! This is one of my all time favorite […]

Takashimaya was never the same after they moved the floral boutique upstairs. After the store closes this weekend, I’m happy to announce that the floral creative team will be moving downtown to Florisity. Definitely check them out! Florisity 1 West 19th Street New York, NY 10011 www.florisity.com

It’s not too late to advertise on Habitually Chic for June. Contact me for rates!

Since I mentioned Christian Louboutin’s houseboat in Egypt in my last post, I thought I would share the photos. It’s very simply furnished but looks more inviting and comfortable to me than Valentino’s glamorous yacht. I can only just imagine how amazing it must be to float down the Nile on this gorgeous vessel and […]

I haven’t seen the new Sex and the City movie yet because I’ve read some not so great reviews. I am curious to finally see the fashions and interiors but so much that I feel like giving up two hours of my life just yet. I’m surprised at how much attention has been given to […]

I hope everyone enjoys this wonderful long weekend! Photos by Pamela Hansen

I’m heading out to the Hamptons again this weekend and wish I was staying at a house this chic! There is nothing that says beach house or summer more than blue and white. This one happens to have been designed by my uber talented interior design friend David Lawrence. It was also featured on the […]

It was a scorcher in New York today with temperatures reaching into the 90’s and all I could think about was jumping into a nice cold pool. Since that isn’t possible, I’m going to stare at these chic pools and see if that helps cool me down. If not, I might have to settle for […]
