Spring has definitely not spring in New York. It’s grey and rainy and nothing has bloomed yet. Until it does, I’m making due by living vicariously through those I follow on Instagram. Some reside in London and Paris which is busting with color and others are decorating their homes and tables with beautiful blooms. Enjoy! @kerrybazaar […]

Yesterday’s post highlighted classic English decor and today’s post is a view into a modern English home. I was cleaning out a stack of magazines when I came across the London flat of Alex Eagle and her family in a recent issue of British Vogue. I was just looking for more photos when I saw […]

I didn’t really need another reason to visit London this year but the new exhibition House Style: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth has me checking flights. Hamish Bowles from Vogue was tapped by the Countess of Burlington to curate an exhibition that explores the fashionable history Chatsworth after she stumbled across some of the couture pieces while searching […]

It’s officially spring so it’s definitely time to think about your spring wardrobe. There are so many holidays and events coming up like Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day, graduations, and oh, my birthday, that it’s important to plan ahead. Whatever you need, Halsbrook is here to help. They carry so many chic options for day, evening, weekend […]

I love auctions because not only can you bid on something fabulous but because they often give you a look inside a very chic home. Such is the case with the upcoming Betsy Bloomingdale: A Life in Style live auction at Christie’s on April 5 and online from March 30 to April 6. Betsy Bloomingdale was a […]

Every designer’s dream project is one where the client gives them carte blanche. That’s probably easier to do when the space in question is a Parisian pied-a-terre and the designer is Joseph Dirand. Not only did he design the 6,500 square foot apartment on the Avenue Montaigne but also chose all the artwork. A lot […]

Someone asked me after my recent Paris post about renting in Paris. In addition to staying in exotic locals around the world, you can also stay in chic Paris apartments when you are a member of THIRDHOME. They have so many properties in great locations including this one near the Champs-Elysées.  If you haven’t looked into THIRDHOME yet, […]

I’ve taken this cold and snowy week to refresh my apartment for spring. Yesterday, I swapped out my shedding jute rug for my new Serena & Lily Metallic Suede and Hemp Rug and could not be happier. I love it so much that I can’t stop looking at it. But now I think I might […]

It was miserably cold and snowy in New York today. I just want to be somewhere else. Preferably in Paris and an apartment as pretty as Anne McNally’s that was featured in Architectural Digest. It’s on the Place de Vosges which is where I stayed on my last trip. It’s a chic respite in the middle […]

If you’re stuck at home on this snow day, you are in luck. Net-a-Porter is offering US readers 10% off all purchases from March 14-20, 2017 with the code SPRING. I don’t remember them offering a discount on new merchandise before so this is an exciting sale to kick off your spring shopping. If you […]

Everyone always asks me where to stay in New York. There are so many variable that go into choosing a hotel in the city that it’s always hard to make recommendations. I might just make things easier by telling everyone to stay at the Whitby Hotel. The newest hotel from Firmdale Hotels is centrally located in midtown […]

It’s snowing this morning in New York so I can’t think of a better time to revisit my recent trip to Los Cabos, Mexico with THIRDHOME. At the beginning of the trip,  I was looking at all the traditional Mexican architecture with warm colors and terra cotta roofs and wondered if anyone ever designed anything white and […]

In honor of International Women’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to post about one of my favorite inspiring women. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Habitually Chic and I still can’t believe all the wonderful people it’s brought into my life. It’s even more special when people I admire follow and […]

The film Nocturnal Animals is now available on demand so I recently watched it again. I fast forwarded the uncomfortable parts and focused on the chic scenes of Amy Adams’ character and her modernist home. Today I found out that the Malibu home in question actually belongs to real estate mogul Kurt Rappaport and was […]

In our over-connected online world, I’m always surprised when I come across a person, or two people in this case, from the past of whom I’ve never heard before. Such was the case of Boni de Castellane & Anna Gould sale at Christies in Paris on Monday, 6 March 2017.  “Boniface de Castellane, known as ‘Boni’ […]

If you are looking for a clutch to go with your new trench coat, I highly recommend the new Bottega Veneta Lauren 1980 Clutch. The bag is the exact same style that Lauren Hutton carried in the iconic film American Gigolo. Bottega Veneta had the bag in their archives and decided to release it again […]

It’s been very warm in New York recently a little rainy. I heard we’re going to have a warmer than usual spring (take that groundhog), so I’m trying to get my warmer weather wardrobe in order. Even though I said I wasn’t allowed to buy anymore tan trenches, I already caved. I can’t help it. […]
