One of the main reasons I went to Sag Harbor recently was to visit the new Jayson Home pop up shop at 3 Madison Street. The Jayson Home in Chicago is one of my favorite stores and it is such a treat to have them on the East Coast this year. The old whaling and supply store is packed […]

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since we returned from our whirlwind trip to Peru. Peruvian Connection was kind enough to invite us down to experience their 40th anniversary photo shoot and visit Machu Picchu. Founder Annie Hurlbut has been going to Peru for over 40 years so we couldn’t have asked for a […]

I had France on the brain after yesterday’s chateau post and so did One Kings Lane.  They posted an entire feature on the Secrets of French Decorating and I’m picking out my favorite pieces for to add a Parisian chic touch to your home.

I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve done most of my recent shopping online. When I found myself with some extra time on Madison Avenue yesterday, I decided to take a stroll through Barneys. I’m really glad I did because I found some great pieces on sale from Gabriela Hearst. Her pieces are all inspired […]

If you are in the Hamptons this weekend, you might want to make plans to stop by the Hamptons Contemporary Home Design and Decor Show. It runs from June 3-5, 2016 at the Southampton Elks Fairgrounds and features over 160 brands including Doris Leslie Blau. While you might know them best for their antique carpets, […]

Any time I can’t find a person’s home online, I conclude that it must be promised to a certain magazine. I’ve been searching for photos of Chloé designer Clare Waight Keller’s Paris apartment for years and it will finally be published in WSJ.Magazine on Saturday, April 2, 2016. The large Haussmann apartment is located in the […]

I can’t think of a better home to post on Easter than one with bright Easter egg colored rooms. It’s also appropriate since many of the furnishings in Todd Alexander Romano‘s New York apartment are up for auction at Christie’s this week. Romano is best known for mixing periods and styles with great success. “Some of my […]

Fashion week has just ended in Milan and one of the chicest showrooms has to be the Palazzo Ralph Lauren. It’s one of those beautifully designed spaces in which you wish you could live. If you feel the same, here are some suggestions to get you started. Tufted Cream Sofa Ralph Lauren Plaid Pillows Shearling […]

I feel like I packed better for my trip to California last week than I have for past trips but I still get nervous about what to wear in Los Angeles. It’s much more casual than New York and encompasses lots of layers. The temperature was in the 60’s when I arrived which prompted everyone […]

I’m enjoying the blizzard in my cozy apartment but this house in Sundance, Utah looks like the perfect place to ride out a snowstorm and do some skiing. It belongs to Ralph Lauren executive Buffy Birrittella and was featured along with her Hamptons home in the October 2015 issue of Elle Decor. Birrittella was one of […]

There is a definite chill in the air now so it’s time to start thinking about decorating your home for the cold winter months.  One way to warm up your home is to cover your bare floors with beautiful soft rugs. And lucky for you, Doris Leslie Blau is offering 50% off hundreds of styles […]

I can’t believe that in all the years of ordering her rugs and attending events in New York that I had never met designer Madeline Weinrib in person. It was a huge treat to visit with her in her studio and showroom recently, especially since we share a love of travel and flea markets. Although, due […]

I first learned of French architect Paris-based architect Luis Laplace and his partner Christophe Comoy recently in Vogue. More on that later. But then I found their Paris apartment online and fell in love. As with any designer’s home, it is a place for trying out new ideas and is ever changing especially since it also […]

I personally love fall. I can’t wait for it to arrive each year because autumn is New York’s best season. Fashion week starts right after the Labor Day holiday which starts things off with a bang. There is a palpable energy in the air. But I understand that not everyone feels the same way, especially young students […]

The couture shows are happening right now in Paris but there are always other fashion events that are scheduled during the same week.  One of those included the new Tory Burch flagship store opening on rue Saint-Honoré. “Designed by architect Daniel Romualdez, who’s done the rest of Tory’s stores and her own home in New York, […]

I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party for Bonpoint in a gorgeous West Village townhouse last year. (You can see the photos in my post Beautiful Bonpoint Dinner.) Now you can see the rest of the six-story home of Annabel and Jos White thanks to House & Garden magazine. The sitting room furniture was […]
