The garden photo from my last post was from Annette and Oscar de la Renta’s garden in Connecticut. I thought maybe you would like to see some of the rest of the garden and house as well. It’s no wonder that Oscar is highly creative fashion designer with a place like this to recharge his […]

All world’s favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May.– Edwin Way Teale

I’m heading down to Soho today to continue my carpet search but where I would really like to be is gallivanting around a pretty garden like Jennifer Garner. I’d also like to wearing the same pretty dresses while the pool boy brings me a glass of lemonade! What’s your weekend fantasy??? Photos by Patrick Demarchelier

I love myself a good fashion documentary and so of course I am dying to see Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston. It is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival Friday night and you know there will be just as many stars and fashionistas in the crowd as there will be in the film. As Halston […]

I’m off looking for carpets (that don’t cost a million dollars) and running around for my clients today so you’re going to have to wait until later for a proper post. Don’t miss me too much! XOXO!

I love how in New York the art isn’t always confined to the museums and galleries. Tod’s commissioned the famed photographer Elliott Erwitt to shoot 22 prominent families for its new exhibition called Icons by an Icon. It’s also another example of what I like to call stealth marketing. Each photo contains a pair of […]

I had a reader email me today asking about durable white fabrics that will stand up to dogs. She wants to decorate her home in white with blue accents which made me think of this beautiful home on Nantucket designed by Victoria Hagan. While white looks great, it can be difficult to keep clean in […]

I am going to have to hurry up and get all my work done early so I can sneak over to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and take in the new Picasso (1881-1973) exhibition that opens today. This “landmark exhibition”

I recently had the pleasure of being asked to style a bar for a cocktail party celebrating the new collections of The The New Traditionalists. You might know them better by one of their lines Mason Gray or for their children’s furniture line Duc Duc. Luckily there were no children at the party last week! […]

Many of us spent this rainy Sunday watching movies and The Hills marathon on MTV. How much more enjoyable would it have been if Heidi and Spencer weren’t so annoying or if we had fabulous media rooms in which to vegetate. In New York, media rooms do double duty as a place to watch TV […]

It’s raining in New York today and will be for the next few days. I think I would be less annoyed if I looked as chic in it as they did in these photos from the 1960’s!

There is so much fun stuff going on this weekend that I just had to share it all. Saturday is another One Kings Lane Tastemaker sale and this time it features Windsor Smith. That’s her work above. I had the please of meeting Ms. Smith in LA and she couldn’t have been nicer or more […]

After you have Queen Quills Calligraphy address your wedding envelopes, you can hire the lovely ladies of Saipua to create all your flower arrangements. I found these photos of a wedding they designed this past weekend at The Bowery Hotel on Milk and Mode and couldn’t help but want to also post them. They are […]

My computer troubles have me longing for the days of pen and paper. I love technology and all but there is nothing like discovering a hand addressed letter in my mailbox to make my heart sing. I would probably be singing very loudly if I ever received an envelope hand addressed by Queen Quills Calligraphy. […]

I jumped out of bed this morning excited to post about a myriad of fun topics but my computer had other ideas. Actually, it wasn’t completely the computer’s fault. An update from McAfee essentially ruined the operating system. (We will not be using them ever again.) Lucky for me, my friend Jessica‘s husband Josh recommended […]

I read fashion magazines for the fashions of course but what I really love is when they are shot at fabulous locations. I assume the manor home that plays backdrop to Gwyneth Paltrow in the May 2010 issue of Harper’s Bazaar is in England but unfortunately it wasn’t credited. It’s a bit hard to focus […]

I had a lot of readers ask me where to find the chairs in my last post. They were actually already owned by my client and are from Lee Industries. The chairs are a nice small size for New York apartments. You can see from the before photo below what a difference new upholstery and […]
