Cooler weather has finally arrived in New York and I could not be more excited to start wearing cozy sweaters and chic coats. I need to add a few new pieces to my closet and I’m starting my shopping at Moda Operandi. Their collection of what’s new this season for Fall 2019 and wardrobe staples […]

I had the pleasure of visiting potter Frances Palmer at her studio and gardens in Connecticut on a lovely early fall day recently. The leaves were already changing but her dahlias were still in full bloom. Frances is not only throws her own pots but also grows all the flowers that she photographs in them […]

Now that it looks like hot summer weather has finally abated, I feel like I can finally reorganize my closets. I love my apartment and my closets but if I had known I would stay in it as long as I have, I would have opened up the closet doors to the ceiling for better […]

I’m not supposed to play favorites but Carlos Huber was one of the most creative and interesting people I profiled in my book Creativity at Work. The architect turned perfumer creates scents for his line Arquiste that based on a certain time and place in history that he meticulously researches down to what wood might […]

It’s starting to look a little bit like fall in New York but it definitely still feels like summer. I’m off on a field trip today but here are some things to do and places to go and this weekend. My new iPhone 11 Pro is scheduled to arrive this weekend and I could not […]

The second autumn collection from French brand Sézane just launched today. Unfortunately, they chose some of the most unattractive places in Paris to photograph it but luckily the fashions are still very chic. I often mix their blouses and sweaters into my wardrobe since they always manage to elevate basics to something more special. I’m […]

I’ve had such a nice response to my shopping and fashion posts that I decided to ask my Instagram followers if they had any fashion conundrums or questions that I could address in future posts. My dear friend Andrew Brown asked for a fall menswear post which I hadn’t thought of even though I know […]

I have to be honest when I say that I haven’t loved T magazine as much since Deborah Needleman left. It seems to cater to the hipster crowd now which is definitely not my domain. When they do feature something traditional, it’s only because the owners have added something contemporary but I guess I’ll take […]

Remember my post on Château de Champlâtreux from two weeks ago? Turns out that the chic chateau is quite a popular backdrop for fashion shoots. Celine photographed their fall 2019 collections in March 2019. The designs based on fashions from the 1970s archives look right at home in the beautiful interiors and gardens. And I […]

This post was supposed to go up yesterday but my internet had other ideas. Strangely enough, a technician from Spectrum was here on Wednesday and ran a new cable from the roof to my apartment to help my spotty wifi connection. On Thursday, my wifi and television went out completely and when another technician came […]

My friend Stacey used to work in finance in New York but moved to San Francisco a few years ago to work in the tech world. Her last two jobs were in very casual offices but she just started a job at a new startup with “a kickass female CEO who would never be caught […]
