The chances of any of us being invited to stay at Valentino’s fabulous flat or chic chateau are slim to none, but that doesn’t mean we can’t experience a Jacques Grange designed interior. The French designer completely overhauled The Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side and now that the new The Mark Restaurant by […]

You really didn’t think I would post about Valentino without also posting photos from one of his fabulous homes did you? I’ve been saving images of his Jacques Grange designed London home for a while and was delighted to find even more on Studio Annetta. The home was originally published in the UK edition of […]

Yesterday was Mr. Valentino’s birthday and of all the wonderful cities in the world he could have chose to spend it, he picked New York. I bet that was an amazing event! In honor of his special day, I’m posting some of my favorite images of the designer and his fashions. At 78, he looks […]

It may feel like winter again in New York but tomorrow is Spring Market at the D&D Building. The day is filled with wonderful panel discussions and events starting with the Keynote Address at 9:30am which features Pamela Jaccarino, editor-in-chief of LUXE Interiors+ Design, Bunny Williams, Laura Kirar, Thomas Jayne, and Stephen Elrod. Don’t forget […]

Diane von Furstenberg just tweeted this morning that she is working hard on her upcoming home line. I can’t wait to see it! She has such great style and home around the world so I am wondering if it will reflect her nomadic lifestyle. This news also made me think of her home in Connecticut […]

I got caught up with work so I didn’t get a chance to write the post that I had originally scheduled for today. Please forgive me and enjoy these photos of this chic working girl that originally appeared in Vogue. I wish I looked this good during the day! Photos by Patrick Demarchelier

I have been stalking the newsstand for weeks trying to find the latest issue of Australian Vogue Living and was excited to finally find it Saturday. I was even more excited to open up and find a profile of Hamish Bowles’ New York apartment! I think I might have actually squealed! It’s just as spectacular […]

I’ve been seeing this book My Mother’s Clothes for a while but didn’t know what it was about until today. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect than the day before mother’s day since it’s about the author’s mother. More specifically, as the title suggests, her mother’s clothes, but the reason behind it so heartwarming. […]

I am loving Roberta Freymann‘s new Summer 2010 advertisement that was shot by photographer Elizabeth Lipmann at Associated Cut Flowers in New York. The cute flower filled photo above is the only final one that I can find but there are some behind the scenes photos online that hint at the others to come. Definitely […]

If you haven’t spent all your money at Design on a Dime, then I suggest you hit the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse Pop Up Shop. As you may know, the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse has been postponed due to a lack of venue so this pop up shop will be a way for Kips Bay […]

Housing Works is very popular among the design crowd in New York and it seemed like every designer in New York came out to support this wonderful charity at their annual Design on a Dime event last night! The place was packed with people ready to shop for a good cause and I even saw […]

I had the pleasure of attending the book party last night for Slow Love: How I Lost My Job, Put On My Pajamas & Found Happiness by Dominique Browning and I suggest that you immediately buy this sweet read. For those of you who don’t know, Ms. Browning was editor in chief of House & […]

We are having the most glorious weather today and it makes me want to take off for the Hamptons. But since I have too many projects, appointments, parties, and work, I will have to make due with drooling over Christina and Chris Cuomo’s humble abode that was decorated by designer Emma Jane Pilkington. It was […]

I am excited to invite all of you to a wonderful panel discussion called Refresh that I am moderating next Wednesday for Market Week at the D&D Building. The fabulous panelists include Benjamin Bradley and David Thiergartner of Bradley Theirgartner Interiors, Amanda Nisbet of Amanda Nisbet Design, and Steven Mittman, Chairman of Edward Ferrell + […]

There are a lot of wonderful events coming up in the next few weeks but the first I want to remind you about is Housing Works annual event Design on a Dime. More than 40 fabulous designers, stores and vendors have created rooms and donated products where everything is up for sale to benefit Housing […]

The Met Ball red carpet is actually better than the red carpet at the Oscars and I wish that the E! network would report live so we could see all the fabulosity unfold. Reading all the tweets was fun but definitely not the same! These are those that I deem best dressed including O and […]

Tonight is the social event of the season for the fashion flock. The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art annual gala know better as the Met Ball will support the new exhibit, American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. Makes sense that the Gap is the sponsor although I doubt many woman in attendance […]
