Gucci Garden

I’m sure no one needs another excuse to visit Florence but the new Gucci Garden that just opened is a very compelling reason. The Gucci Garden is located inside the historic Palazzo della Mercanzia, which housed the Gucci Museo. Conceived by creative director Alessandro Michele, the newly designed space features a store with one-of-a-kind items, the […]

I love walking through the Pacific and Presidio Heights neighborhoods every time I visit San Francisco. I don’t remember seeing this Tudor house designed by Hillary Thomas which is a shame. The stunner featured in Architectural Digest is full of classic details and beautiful colors. I especially love the custom pale blue/grey color of the […]

Breath of Fresh Air

I was trying to figure out the exact reason I love Cameron Kimber’s weekend home that I posted yesterday. I think it’s because it feels like spring when everything in New York is encased in snow and cold temperatures. I especially love the thread of green that weaves its way through the entire house. I’ve […]

Someone in the Wall Street Journal declared that floral prints are out this year but don’t tell that to Australian interior designer Cameron Kimber. His country house is filled with floral prints and chintz. One of which is the same Lee Jofa Althea print that I have in my own apartment so needless to say, […]

Golden Globes 2018

I think a lot of people were unsure how this year’s Golden Globes award ceremony would play out. Actresses had banded together for a movement called Time’s Up which would help shed light on sexual harassment of women and those “marginalized because of class, sexuality, ethnicity or race.” Some actresses chose to bring activists as their date […]

After the snow comes the Dr. Zhivago level cold this weekend. Perfect time to putter around your home and clean out your closet. You probably picked up some presents during the holidays and perhaps some good deals during the sales. Why not make room by donating what you no longer wear to charity. It would […]

We’re having a snow day here in New York, as is most of the entire Eastern seaboard. I specifically didn’t make my bed today because I definitely picture myself cozied up watching Netflix and reading books like Cameron Diaz in The Holiday above. But if you need to brave the elements, I’ve put together some […]

Creating Space Within

Interior designer Alyssa Kapito created this room for the 2017 Holiday House. While you may have already seen it all over the internet, I specifically saved it for this week. It looked like the perfect clean and neutral space to start off the new year. Then last night, I came across a great article Creating […]

Your Year

Every January 1st, I post an inspiring quote or mantra on Instagram. This one seemed to really resonate with my followers. People may scoff at inspirational quotes on the internet but sometimes they strike a chord and make you realize you need or want to make a change. That’s true of New Year’s Day in […]

Happy New Year!

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve. That’s not to say I haven’t had a quite a few fun times celebrating and luckily the advent of Uber has made them infinitely easier to navigate. But I’d rather toast with champagne at a civilized dinner party or an evening at home. No matter how […]

Richardson Repeat

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday! I had grand plans to post all weekend including a recap of my Christmas doors of New York. But then I decided to just take some time off. You can see many of my favorite doors in my Christmas Highlights on Instagram which is only available on the […]

Southern Christmas

Last December, my friend Dina and I visited Charleston, South Carolina. It was fun to see how the South decorates for Christmas. I love how they turn dried fruits into ornaments and garlands. No where was this more beautifully done that at the Joseph Manigault House from 1803. I really wanted to dry orange slices […]

I can’t wait to clean up all Christmas clutter currently overtaking my living room, especially after seeing this minimal chic apartment in Greenwich Village. It belongs to Alexendra O’Neill who founded the fashion line Makarian and was just featured on Vogue.com. She gut renovated the space but didn’t strip it of its charm. Moldings were […]

Now that you’ve hopefully finished your Christmas shopping, it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s Eve. There is no better place to go for party shoes than Nordstrom. They have you covered no matter how you will be celebrating. Free shipping and returns at Nordstrom mean you can order without worrying. I’ve put together different […]

It snowed a few times in New York last week and now it’s really feeling like Christmas. I love how red pops against the snow so it was the perfect excuse for a color compilation post.
