Things have been busy in New York as everyone prepares to travel and celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday next week. I still can’t believe this year is almost over. It really feels like it was just January. I also haven’t done a Bon Weekend post in a few weeks so I thought one was in order. […]
If you’ve ever taken a walk on the Upper East Side or West Village during October, you’ll see houses with over the top decorations for Halloween. Some are so scary that I avoid during certain streets during this time of year. I personally prefer chicer home decor and tabletop pieces that can transition from Halloween […]
I was going to post one last gift guide today but honestly, I’m all gift guided out. I thought it might be fun to post what I’ve bought myself for Christmas instead. I just read that approximately 60% of people admit to self gifting so I’m glad I’m not alone. I hope my gifts to […]

The best thing about Thanksgiving is that it’s a holiday about cooking and food, hence the kitchens, and giving thanks. This year, I’m grateful that I wasn’t in any of the man made or natural disasters this year and that I can afford to help those who were. I’m grateful to be able to travel […]

To help give you a head start on your decorating, Horchow is having a Holiday Decorating Sale with up to 40% off seasonal decor. While the majority of the items are for Christmas, they […]
While I have been buying Christmas presents for others, I’ve also been buying myself a few things. The sales have been so great that it was hard not to take advantage of them. After a few deliveries arrived yesterday, I realized that most of what I’ve bought is grey. It’s my go to color for […]
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Christmas. The last time I went all out decorating for the holidays, I was cleaning up pine needles in my apartment for months. So I’ve been thinking about how I can get the look with less mess. My current inspiration is Alessandra Branca‘s dining room that […]
Families may have different traditions for Christmas and Hanukkah but Thanksgiving is all about turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. That means many hours will be spent in the kitchen. I’m still dreaming about renovating my tiny one and if you’re in the same boat, here’s some beautiful kitchens from Pinterest to inspire you. Happy Holidays! All images from […]

The day after I thought about asking my friend Alice Ryan Miller to contribute ideas for a children’s gift guide, she announced that she was pregnant with her third child with husband Kirk Miller. Talk about serendipity. Alice and Kirk have an precious six year old son Grey and an adorable two year old daughter […]
I was lucky enough be invited to stay at the Chafen’s new house in Napa Valley when I visited them. It is located a short drive from the Dutch Henry Winery but has its own vineyard outside the front door that had just been planted. Every time I looked out the windows, I questioned why […]
I usually prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving to start thinking about Christmas but retailers won’t let me. So in the spirit of “if you can’t beat them, join them” I give you some looks from the J.Crew December Style Guide. The cute family photos shot in Norway actually make me excited for winter and […]
New York is all dressed up for autumn and Halloween right now. The Upper East Side gets very into decorating for Halloween and some of the decorations are seriously scary. I prefer the chic and subtle approach and thought I would share some of my favorites with you as well as some turning leaves. Happy […]
