I love the John Derian stores on East 2nd Street but they are a destination and not a place I walk by regularly. That’s why I am so excited about his new store that just opened at 18 Christopher Street in the West Village which is one of my regular haunts. The front of the […]

Aerin Lauder’s latest collection for Williams Sonoma Home has just launched and I think it might actually be better than her first. I love the addition of green to the blue and white mix and the new scalloped bedding. If you’re still trying to put your Easter table together or plan your spring and summer […]

Spring is taking it’s sweet time getting here and now it’s grey and rainy in New York. I am so ready for color and flowers and sunshine. Since that’s not happening, I figured this was a great time to revisit Kate Rheinstein Brodsky‘s family apartment filled with color and flowers put together in the most […]

I am very lucky to have two closets in my New York apartment, a hall coat closet and a wide clothes closet. My main closet is not working efficiently since I can’t really reach the shelves above the hanging rod. I’ve been thinking having California Closets build a two foot wide section of floor to […]

We’re in the homestretch to spring and if you still haven’t got your warmer weather wardrobe together, Net-a-Porter is here to help. The chic retailer is offering 10% off sitewide (with some exceptions) until March 30, 2018 with the code STYLE10. It’s good for three uses per customer. I put together an outfit I’d love […]

I think my fascination with European chateaux and castles is due to the fact that we just don’t have that type of history here in the United States. If you share my obsession, you should definitely pick up T Magazine 2018 Design Issue in The New York Times on Sunday, March 25th to ogle Schloss Hollenegg […]

This first Aquazzura for de Gournay Collection that debuted last year was a huge hit so it’s no surprise that they are back together again this spring. The first partnership was pink and this latest Aquazzura for de Gournay Amazonia collaboration is blue just like the de Gournay showroom in San Francisco that I saw last […]

The most memorable trip I’ve ever taken was to Morocco. We spent a week driving down the coast from Casablanca to Essaouira, then to the low Atlas mountains before we ended up in Marrakech. One place we did not visit was Tangier since it sits on the northern coast. It’s always been on my must […]

One of these days, the weather is actually going to warm up and it’s best to be prepared ahead of time. Spring also brings with it lots of events and holidays so I’ve already been planning out my outfits. Halsbrook is a great place for dresses and separates that transition perfectly from day to night.

Not all museum exhibitions have to be ground breaking. Some can just be beautiful and Public Parks, Private Gardens: Paris to Provence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is beyond beautiful. The show “explores horticultural developments that reshaped the landscape of France and grounded innovative movements both artistic and green.” It features over 150 works […]

I was saddened to hear of the death of legendary French fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy this past weekend at the age of 91. The world has not only lost an immense talent but I remarkable human being full of elegance and grace. I came across a wonderful interview he gave to How to Spend […]
