This very chic art collector’s apartment in Pimlico was featured in the December 2016 issue of House & Garden but I didn’t see it until this week. Better late than never because I love the mix of important furniture pieces and and art in a more masculine setting for a French private equity firm partner. […]

In addition to flay lay outfits, I’ve been receiving many requests for color posts. I lost interest after other people started to copy them but since so many readers love them, I will try to bring them back on a more regular basis. As a follow up to yesterday’s neutral outfit is a neutral color […]

I’ve had a lot of requests for more flat lay outfit posts and I’m going to try to comply. Sometimes things I buy sell out quickly which makes it hard but luckily most of the latest things I’ve purchased are still available. I’m also trying to think about how to transition some pieces to fall. […]

I knew that Bunny Mellon had designed the White House Rose Garden but I didn’t know how close she was to Jackie and President Kennedy. I’ve just finished the chapters that delve into this friendship in the book Bunny Mellon: Life of an American Style Legend. Bunny and Paul Mellon had a house in the […]

As most of you know, I love taking care of my skin and I’m always using new products. I just attended a launch party for the reformulated La Prairie Caviar Collection last night and started using the Ziip Beauty Device both of which I will review soon. Until then, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is filled with amazing […]

I buy many books the minute they are published but I don’t always get around to reading them right away. I also feel like our tech obsessed world has given me social media induced ADD. It’s hard not to scroll through Instagram at night instead of reading but I’m trying to remedy this issue. I’ve […]

When I saw designer Daniel Richards in Sag Harbor earlier this summer, he commented on the fact that I used to post more for men. It’s definitely something I’ve been aware of as well so I’ll try to try to remedy this going forward starting with this post. The women’s fashions get all the buzz […]

I had never heard of interior designer Francois de Marigny before coming across this art filled duplex he designed for a divorced man and his children in Paris on ArchitecturalDigest.com but now I want to see more. The home in Napoleon III building with a private garden hadn’t been touched in 50 years but luckily all […]

As with so many things these days, I learned about Chateau de Villette on Instagram. The beautiful property was renovated and designed under the expert eye of Jacques Garcia but was listed as a “private residence.” Further investigation has revealed that it is actually available for stays, private events and weddings. It has recently played […]

Fashion isn’t the only thing on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Great deals can be found on bedding, bath towels and accessories, home decor, rugs, tabletop, kitchenware, and more. It’s the perfect time to hit refresh on your own home, decorate a dorm room, new apartment, or weekend retreat. I’ve picked out a few […]

By now, you’ve probably seen this Southampton home in the July-August 2018 issue of Architectural Digest and numerous blogs. I’ve found more photos and have a personal connection so I thought it warranted a post of my own. As soon as I saw the name of the owner, Mary Ann Tighe, I recognized it immediately. […]

I enjoy following the travels of Julia Engel, her husband Thomas Berolzheimer, and their art director Dulci Edge, as they photograph each Gal Meets Glam Collection. The July collection launching today was shot in London in May during the Chelsea Flower Show. The whole city seemed to be bursting in bloom creating the perfect backdrop […]

I enjoy following interior designer Justin Van Breda on Instagram so it was lovely to see the house he shares with Alastair Matchett in the Costwolds in the July/August 2018 issue of Elle Decor. Justin came from South Africa to work for designer Nicholas Haslam but now has his own design firm and product lines […]

The sale opens to everyone on July 20th but many items will be sold out by then so make sure you shop early. The sale includes new fall merchandise […]

Are you looking to move to into a turn key townhouse in New York designed by a renowned interior designer?  If your answer is yes, 68 Morton Street is for you. Steven Gambrel has found a new property to restore and renovate so his current home is for sale for $8,995,000. A 25-foot wide townhouse […]

Someone asked me if I had a blowout on a particularly humid day recently when I had actually done my own hair. Since it’s been two years since my last hair care post, I thought the height of summer might be a good time to help you humidity proof your hair as well.  I was […]

As you might remember, I posted about the interior of Westbury House at Old Westbury Gardens recently and now I’m following up with the gardens. They are planted so that there is always something in bloom when you visit. During my visit, the roses were in bursting and I couldn’t get over how beautiful the […]
