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 […]
I still have yet to see Knives Out but I want to go more than ever just to see Chris Evans in the sweater that has the internet all a twitter. The Knives Out costume designer Jenny Eagan told The Hollywood Reporter that she doesn’t remember the brand of the frayed Aran cable knit sweater because the piece […]

While most people think of the Hamptons as just a place to visit in the summer, they can be just as fun off season. Last week, my friend Michelle Adams and I went out to Montauk to stay at Sea Roost and visit some of our favorite friends and stores out east. You may remember […]
I had a busy summer of travel and I’m finally sitting down to work on my travel guides. Many of the places can be visited year round so don’t worry about feeling like you missed out. First up is Newport, Rhode Island. I haven’t visited the “City by the Sea” since college so it was […]
Much of what I post on Habitually Chic can be described as “aspirational” design. I know this doesn’t always translate to real life which can be frustrating to those without unlimited budgets. When my very sweet public relations friend Current D’Ignazio asked me to help her pull together her first grown up apartment in New […]
As I mentioned yesterday, I had a wonderful summer but there is nothing I look forward to more than autumn in New York. Fall is the city’s finest season. There is electricity in the air again and fashion week begins which is always exciting. There are also many anticipated art exhibitions, design events, and auctions […]
If you’re one of the millions of follows of Gal Meets Glam, you’ve probably seen glimpses of the Charleston home of founder Julia Engel and her husband Thomas Berolzheimer. Now you can see the entire house that was renovated by architect Beau Clowney and decorated by interior design Olivia Brock of Torrance Mitchell Design in Southern Living. […]

This week has been a little crazy. As soon as I returned from Nantucket, I jumped into styling my friend’s apartment for a photoshoot today. In the midst of all my running around, I did manage to pick up a few of the September magazines including the new Elle Decor with Aerin Lauder in Paris […]
What a week. It started out with torrential rain and flash flooding in New York and it’s ending with record breaking temperatures of over 100 degrees in Europe. Climate change is real and it’s one of the reasons I like traveling to cooler locals each summer. Next Thursday, I’m headed to Nantucket for Nantucket for […]
While Memorial Day is a day we should be remembering and honoring people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, it’s also the start of the summer sales. While you are buying yourself something on sale, why not also check what they might need at Veteran’s homes or charities and buy […]
As the weather and seasons change, it’s a good time to take stock of your beauty products and see if anything needs updating. I’ve just tried a few new products that I love and wanted to share my reviews in case you need a change too. I have been trying the cult creams from Augustinus […]
Back in December, I had the opportunity to attend a sneak peek preview of the Drew Barrymore Flower Home collection for Walmart. Actually, I didn’t know who I was going to show up and see because it was a secret. I was a little nervous but was excited to see it was Drew who couldn’t […]
The Upper East Side is sometimes an under-appreciated neighborhood but those of us who live here understand how much it has to offer. James Hirschfeld, co-founder of Paperless Post, understood the appeal of the UES when looking for his first grown up apartment. “A lot of my friends have settled downtown or in Brooklyn, but […]
When I read in the new issue of Architectural Digest that Derek Blasberg moved to the Upper East Side, I was curious if he lived close to me. I’ve never seen him in the neighborhood but he travels so extensively that it wasn’t that surprising. A quick search not only revealed that he does live […]
I originally planned to just post Lee Radziwill’s Paris apartment to show her interior design style but then I realized it wouldn’t tell the entire story of her design progression. So I made a deep dive into the archives and spent all day Sunday outlining them. Some of her rooms have become iconic and she […]
