Since we’ve been featuring lots of ladies fashions lately, I thought it might be nice to post something for the boys.  I follow Berluti on Instagram which is where I learned that they photographed their Spring/Summer 2016 collection on French designer and architect Joseph Dirand and in his Paris apartment. As you know, there is […]

Since Julia Leach moved to California, I haven’t seen her so it was a treat to see her two days in a row last week. One was to see the preview for her new Mexico inspired Chance capsule collection that launches on Cinqo de Mayo. Julia’s love of Mexico began in the 1970’s when she first traveled to […]

I ran into Newell Turner yesterday at the press preview for Manus x Machina at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In case you haven’t heard, Newell has revived Metropolitan Home magazine. The front cover says, “For the Love of City Living” and the homes featured are urban but not completely modern and contemporary which I […]

The Met Gala is billed as the Superbowl of fashion and the red carpet definitely didn’t disappoint this year. In case you don’t know, the event is the fundraiser for the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and is held the first Monday of May. Fashion houses buy tables and invite models and celebrities who […]

This was an exhausting non-stop week. So exhausting in fact that I feel asleep during a LED light treatment at Dr. Wade‘s office this afternoon. Part of my week was filled with meetings that had me thinking that maybe I need to buy a new suit. In a stroke of lucky timing, the new May 2016 issue of the […]

The NBC Nightly News ended this evening with a moving story about boys in inner city Philadelphia who ride horses which led to them being nicknamed Concrete Cowboys. There’s not much for young people to do and plenty of time for them to get in trouble in the inner city. Stable owner Malik Divers says, […]

It was Julia Leach of Chance Co. who told me that I had to stop by Kendall Conrad‘s shop in Brentwood while I was in Los Angeles in January 2012. It wasn’t until this January 2016 that we finally met in person in Montecito area of Santa Barbara. Drinks at the San Ysidro Ranch turned into […]

How cute and chic are these photos of Jenna Lyons? J.Crew challenged her to wear gingham five ways for five days.  The results were photographed in her office, with her son at Morgensterns Ice Cream, her home, on the street, and at The Meadow. At least I think that’s her home.  I’m still wondering which […]

Mother’s Day is a little less than two weeks away. If you haven’t found a gift yet for the moms in your life, Nordstrom has a myriad of fine jewelry options that would make the perfect present. If you are a mom, you may want to forward this post to someone as a hint. With free […]

Serena Fresson posted a beautifully set spring table on Instagram this morning which made me think it was the perfect time to highlight her chic style. Serena is the mother of Alice Naylor-Leyland who I recently featured in the post Alice in Wonderland. It’s clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in […]

The tulips and cheery blossom trees along Park Avenue are in full bloom right now and the Upper East Side could not look prettier. The tulips are planted in a different color each spring and this year over 60,000 bulbs of a Darwin Hybrid called Golden Oxford were planted from 54th Street to 86th Street. If […]

I saw Kirsten Dunst wearing this fabulous outfit perfect for changeable spring weather and after work events and fell in love. Then I found out the dress was ridiculously expensive and wondered how I could recreate it at a more affordable price.  Yesterday, my friend Permele showed up to a meeting wearing a similar dress […]

I’m not the only one celebrating a birthday this week. Queen Elizabeth II is turning 90 on April 21st. To celebrate the milestone, photographer Annie Leibovitz captured the Queen in three new iconic images.  The first shows her with her five great-grandchildren and two youngest grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at Buckingham Palace. The […]

You can’t go to the Hamptons and not think about beach house interior design.  I love pale sea colors and seascapes so can’t wait to decorate my own house someday.  Designer Matthew Caughy‘s Delaware beach house featured on One Kings Lane is great inspiration for anyone’s beach house project. Read the entire story and shop the look here.

Sorry for the radio silence. I took a few days off to enjoy the weekend in the Hamptons and my birthday. One special treat was the opportunity to see Steven Gambrel’s project at 42 Howard Street in Sag Harbor, the Captain Overton House that I posted recently. Needless to say, it was even better in person […]

I’m off to Sag Harbor this morning for a little weekend getaway with a friend before celebrating my birthday on Monday at The Polo Bar. I’ve never been out east this early in the season but I’m looking forward to a relaxing stay at Baron’s Cove again. I also can’t wait to stop by the open […]

The Tribeca Film Festival is a very exciting time in New York for movie buffs. I was very lucky to get tickets to new documentary The First Monday in May last night and can’t say enough good things about the film. It was conceived by Andrew Rossi who previously directed the award winning documentary Page One: Inside […]
