I’m on Nantucket right now and usually travel derails even the best laid intentions to eat healthy but I am completely on track and I credit this to the Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet I did in August.

I’ve had so many requests to post more flat lay outfits so I’m going to try to comply. One of the issues I run into is that things I buy often sell out so if that’s the case, I’ll try to make similar suggestions. It’s a beautiful crisp fall day in New York and this […]

There has been a fall chill in the air of New York this week. So much so that I wore a cashmere sweater yesterday with a light coat. I wasn’t sweating but I did realize that I maybe needed to slow my roll and transition to a blazer first. Someone asked a columnist at The […]

So many people are back in the city for work and school that New York is definitely feeling back to normal but with masks. One thing that has helped with the normality is the reopening of museums. I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday with a friend and it felt so good to […]

The weather in New York usually stays warm until October so you can definitely wear white jeans past Labor Day if you style them for the season.
