Chic in NYC: Manhatta

When my lovely friend Andrea Stanford comes to town, we always go somewhere new. Last night it was the recently opened hotspot Manhatta. The newest edition to the Danny Meyer restaurant empire is terribly chic but the view of all of lower Manhattan is what really steals the show. Manhatta is located on the 60th floor […]

Jet Setting Nina Flohr

One day this past April, I was getting ready to attend the press preview for the Peggy and David Rockefeller Collection auction at Christie’s. It was raining and I knew I would run into people I knew there and the Kips Bay Decorator Show House press preview on the same day so I wanted to […]

Journey Man

Since I have posted so many fall fashions for women lately, I thought I would give my male readers some love today. I really thought this feature from Goodman’s Guide, the men’s side of the Bergdorf Goodman fall 2018 catalog, is very chic and full of classic wearable styles. A few things aren’t online yet […]

If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away from it all this fall, I highly recommend The Inn at Kenmore Hall in the Berkshires region of Western Massachusetts.  I have been anxiously following the renovation of the main house and property since owner Frank Muytjens and his partner Scott Edward Cole started posting about […]

I have been waiting with bated breath for the new fall collection from Sézane and it was even better than I anticipated.
