The French had la rentrée yesterday and now we have our own today as everyone returns to work and school. I am always excited for fall in New York since it starts off with a bang with fashion week shows and parties. There are also a lot of great art exhibitions coming up like Delacroix […]

I have been waiting with bated breath for the new fall collection from Sézane and it was even better than I anticipated. The autumnal colors and warmer fabrics mixed with the chicest leather bags and boots has me wishing for a cold snap. I already placed my order since everything tends to sell out quickly. […]

I hope everyone is ready for the long holiday weekend. Make sure you give yourself some time to shop because there are some amazing Labor Day weekend sales happening now. While some of it is summer merchandise, there is a lot of fall fashions and home decor to be found on sale. Bon weekend! Ann […]

I’ve had a few readers ask me how to style white jeans for autumn so I thought a blog post was warranted. I’m also over the heat and all my summer clothes so all I can think about are fall fashions. Since it stays warm through October, you can definitely still wear white jeans as […]

We’ve had a heat wave in New York this week so I personally can’t wait for autumn. Fall is is the city’s best season. Fashion week starts right after the Labor Day holiday which is always exciting. There are also many great art exhibitions, design events, and chic auctions. I can’t wait to wear cashmere […]

While we’re on the topic of Maine, I love this home designed by architect Les Cole and decorated by interior designer Suzanne Kasler. I haven’t been to Maine in about 15 years so I think it needs to be on my must visit for next summer. The state’s motto, “the way life should be” certainly […]

I stopped by the Ralph Lauren Ladies Mansion last week to check out the new Ralph Lauren Home collections. Islesboro, the prettiest late summer collection was inspired by the “storied refinement of a grand coastal estate, where archival patterns and vintage inspired furnishings meet refreshing ease ad enveloping warmth.” Islesboro is a lovely island off […]

Does it feel like everyone you follow on Instagram has been to Positano, Capri, and/or Greece this summer?  Now that it’s the end of August, all of Europe is en vacances since they all take their holiday at the same time. This post is an ode to these vacations. Enjoy! Striped Stretch Cotton Blend Sweater […]

I’m ready for August to wind down and this feature of Christy Turlington from Vogue Poland sums up the end of summer vibes. I can’t wait for sweater weather.  Photos from Vogue Poland via Fashion Gone Rogue

As we head into the last days of August, I’m wearing my favorite fashions and trying to figure out how to transition them to September. Here’s one of my favorite summer ensembles and how I’d change it up for cooler temperatures. Ralph Lauren Striped Shirtdress – I saw Pippa Middleton wear this dress to Wimbledon […]

When I lived in Paris, I lived on rue Babylone on the top floor of a beautiful old building overlooking a park. When I looked out my window to the right, I could practically reach out and touch Le Bon Marché department store. At the end of the park on the left was the old […]

You have to bear with me because I’m still only a third of the way through Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend book so she’s constantly on my mind lately. This along with the feature on her Antigua home purchased by Tory Burch that I posted yesterday has me thinking about her decorating […]

I remember attending a party for Tory Burch‘s first collection at Bergdorf Goodman in 2004 and it’s amazing to see how far she’s come with her fashions and her life. Her beautiful home on Antigua is featured in the new September 2018 issue of Vogue which is worth picking up for it alone. The property on […]

As much as I love traveling, there are only so many places I can go in a year. Some of my friends are also experts on certain cities and countries so I’ve asked a few of them to contribute travel posts for Habitually Chic. I couldn’t think of a better person to begin than my […]

After another heatwave in New York this week, I’m officially ready for fall. Although it looks like the temperatures will abate this weekend, it will also be rainy. Perfect time to watch something new on Netflix or take in a museum. Here are some options to get you through your weekend. First up, is The […]

If you just looked at the photos of interior designer Ryan Korban‘s new apartment in the September 2018 issue of Architectural Digest, you might think it was in Paris. It’s actually located on the Upper East Side of New York but it was the European feeling interiors in the turn of the century townhouse that […]
