I wanted to begin my holiday gift guides early year with some of my favorite things since you have six less days to shop before Christmas. These gift ideas could be for host/hostess gifts, stocking stuffers, or items for anyone on your list, even yourself. I also like mixing my lists with presents for all ages […]

If you do one thing this weekend, make sure you pick up the Wall Street Journal newspaper this weekend so you can read the WSJ.Magazine. The Innovators Issue is filled with features on Eddie Murphy, Cindy Sherman, Studio KO, Riccardo Tisci, and others but it’s the seductive photos of Julianne Moore that are the most […]

I heard the phrase “Polar Vortex” and mentions of snow on the news so that means it’s time to pull out the boots. If your old pairs are looking less than chic, I have plenty of pairs in varying heights and price points to help you keep warm. These sherpa lined leather Chelsea boots will […]

The much anticipated opening of the J.K. Place Hotel in Paris looks like it’s finally happening soon. The Leading Hotels of the World website is allowing booking for early December so you might want to plan your next trip to the City of Light this holiday season. The 30-room J.K. Place Hotel Rive Gauche marks […]

Rene Russo’s wardrobe in The Thomas Crown Affair used to be my favorite movie wardrobe inspiration but that was before I fell in love with everything that Jennifer Aniston wears in each episode of The Morning Show. It actually reminds me of what I used to wear in the corporate world when I moved to […]

How are you surviving Daylight Saving Time? I love the sunlight in the morning but I had to turn on every light in my apartment at 5:00pm which was depressing. I heard that you should go out in the sun for at least 10 minutes every day for vitamin D and to prevent Seasonal Affective […]

I can’t believe today is November 1st. Where has the year gone?! The next two months will be busy with events and holidays so I’m taking a little R&R in Sag Harbor this weekend at Baron’s Cove where I always stay. It’s a little quiet off season but everything is open in town and the […]

This has been one of the nicest Octobers I can remember in New York. I’ve taken as many walks as possible to enjoy the sunshine and take photographs. Luckily, there seemed to be less gross Halloween decorations this year and more elegant seasonal decor. Here are some of my favorites from the Upper East Side […]

While driving to the Plain Goods shop in New Preston, Connecticut, we drove past the home of interior designer Daniel Romualdez. The 18th-century former stone tavern had previously belonged to fashion designer Bill Blass but Romauldez has put his personal spin on the rooms without ruining any of the original charm. Landscape designer Miranda Brooks […]

I was lamenting the closing of so many wonderful stores in New York with my followers on Instagram Stories yesterday. Luckily, retail is still alive and well at the insanely chic Plain Goods store in New Preston, Connecticut. I got to know owners Michael DePerno and Andrew Fry after writing about their homes and they […]

I was in Connecticut and didn’t get to post one of my semi-regular Bon Weekend posts on Friday. There are a few new shows coming up this week of which I wanted to make you aware so I decided a New & Notable post was in order. As you can see from my Instagram post […]

Sweater weather quickly transitioned into coat weather today when the temperature suddenly dropped. I have so many coats that they really are bursting out of my coat closet but that doesn’t stopped me from buying more every year. In fact, I just bought two in the last week. My inspiration last year and again this […]

Art historian and biographer Sir John Richardson passed away in March of this year at the age of 95 leaving behind a legacy of wonderful books and beautifully designed homes. His Connecticut estate already sold and now his New York apartment and studio has just come on the market with Compass for $7,200,000. The 5,400 […]

The temperatures in New York have been very cold each morning so my sweaters have been in heavy rotation. I’ve been layering them under blazers or light jackets since it usually warms up each afternoon. I’m especially loving fair isle sweaters for fall and have already bought two. I’m still trying to find a new […]

The temperature has finally dropped in New York and I’ve already pulled out my Heidi Wynne pieces. Her collection of chic and luxurious cashmere scarves and cozy fisherman knit sweaters are perfect for keeping warm and adding a pop of color to any outfit. The unisex style makes them great for men too. But if […]

October is one of the prettiest times in New York. Well, not right now because it’s wet and cold. But hopefully soon the leaves will change and pumpkins will be put out on stoops and all will be right with the world.
