Habitually Chic®'s Logo  

Although it’s freezing in New York today, I’m dreaming of spring. Since I work for myself, I don’t have to dress up every day so jeans are a staple for my day to day wardrobe. When it’s still chilly, I pair them with a cashmere sweater, wool coat, and sneakers. When it warms up a […]

The 1978 film Interiors was on TCM tonight. I find it terribly depressing but interiors make it worth watching. It struck me that the interiors of this Hancock Park house decorated by interior designer Christos Prevezanos and featured on ArchitecturalDigest.com has a similar neutral palette and paneling. It feels like this is the house they […]

Last night, I attended the most festive party to celebrate the new collaboration between Aerin Beauty and Love Shack Fancy. It was fun to see the dresses and products in person before they officially launched today. The highlight of the evening though was meeting the owner of Le Mas des Poiriers which is where the collaboration […]

Tory Burch in Normandy

Make sure you pick up the March 2020 issue of The World of Interiors to see the chic Normandy home of Tory Burch. The manor actually belonged to her new French husband Pierre-Yves Roussel but left a lot to be desired so Tory turned to Robert Kime to help pull it together. I was a […]

Daybreak

This is one of my favorite photos I’ve taken in Paris because it shows how you can wear sneakers with different outfits and at different ages and still look chic. When I first moved to New York, sneakers were not a thing you wore outside of the gym. It was all about freezing in bare […]

We’ve made it through January. It was the longest month ever but I have a feeling February will fly by so I’ve pulled together a few things happening now and later in the month to give you time to plan ahead. Don’t forget that The Winter Show will be close on Sunday, February 2, 2020. […]

Atelier Vime in Paris

I love seeing the Atelier Vime wicker furniture at their 18th-century hôtel particulier but it was nice to see their pieces in an apartment in Saint-Germain during Paris Design Week. It shows that you can incorporate wicker into any type of interior and mix it with different design styles. After touring the apartment of the […]

We had a look at the Captain Osborne Edwards House at 27 Suffolk Street in Sag Harbor in 2018 when it was listed for sale and via photos on Instagram. The six bedroom home designed by Steven Gambrel was just posted to his portfolio so now we have a full look at the beautiful home. […]

The winter sales are still going strong but I fear the end is near. MatchesFashion has 20% off a wide selection of sale merchandise and Net-a-Porter just added 20% off to more of their “Sale Must Haves”. I’ve picked out some of my favorite pieces that still have a numerous sizes left in case you […]

Every January has a date designated as Blue Monday. It signifies a day when holiday celebrations are over, the weather is cold and dreary, and credit card bills for the gifts are due. It also doesn’t have to be a depressing day if you don’t let it. It’s a bank holiday for many people so […]

I didn’t plan a trip for this long holiday weekend and I’m kicking myself now that the temperature has dropped and snow is on the way. I’m going to use the indoor time to get caught up on work and watch movies. When the weather clears, I look forward to finally trying Veronika (above) the […]

People love to hate on gallery walls. Sometimes rightly so. If they are put together with artwork that has been collected from different periods with beautiful gilt frames and French mating, the result can be quite elegant. Such is the case with the apartment that Richard Rabel renovated and decorated for Alan Wintermute, a specialist […]

I was first seated next to interior designer Mario Buatta at an event over ten years ago. He couldn’t have been more excited to have a fresh person to surprise with his fake cockroach prank. Decorating should be fun and it was refreshing that he didn’t take it all so seriously even though he worked […]

What a week. It started out fine but went downhill quickly when my wifi stopped working. This resulted in multiple appointments to get it repaired which then culminated in a technician drilling a hole through my front apartment wall to run a new line into my apartment. I think this means my ongoing internet connection […]

The number one New Year’s resolution every year is to lose weight. Research says that it takes three weeks to form a new habit so keep that in mind as you begin a new workout plan. Even the smallest step in the right direction helps. Experts agree that even just five minutes a day to […]

There is nothing that upsets me more than when someone buys an iconic or historic house and guts it, thus ruining what made it special. That’s why I was so astonished and happy to see that designer Francis Sultana kept the drawing room in the apartment that belonged to Fleur Cowles a similar beautiful shade […]
