Habitually Chic®'s Logo  

If you’re looking for a place to wear your new Emerson Fry pieces, I highly suggest Cuixmala, a boutique resort of luxurious Moorish inspired villas and casitas set in a vast oceanfront nature reserve on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. It looks like the kind of place James Bond would visit on the pretense of relaxing until he […]

Emerson Fry is Back

After a warehouse move and a brief hiatus, Emerson Fry is back with a new light and breezy collection for Spring/Summer 2016. The pieces are mostly white, black, and nude with a little pattern thrown into the mix. It’s making me want to plan another warm weather trip and it will probably make you want […]

Off to Paris Again

As I mentioned earlier, I’m off to Paris tonight for fashion week and a bit of holiday. I look forward to seeing old friends and new as well as all my favorite museums and sights.  I also look forward to taking advantage of the low Euro to do a little shopping. You can follow all […]

Marvelous in Madrid

I’m getting ready for my flight to Paris tonight but I’m already thinking about where I want to go next.  I’ve never been to Spain so that’s a top contender. It would mean I could also meet one of my favorite designers, Isabel Lopez Quesada, who designed this country house. I love that it looks […]

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 […]

The 2016 Oscars red carpet was a little disappointing. Some of the nominees did not look as good as they’ve looked thus far this award season but luckily there were still a few who knocked it out of the park. Saoirse Ronan wanted to wear green in honor of Ireland and Calvin Klein obliged beautifully. […]

Brow Beat

I’ve been getting compliments on my eyebrows for months now.  Friends, strangers, and even one straight man have commented on how great they look. I kept saying I was going to blog about my secret and now I’ve finally put a post together. Brows are really important for framing your face and I think the […]

Sneak Attack

I was just buying new sneakers for my trip and thinking about writing a post about them when I read that Victoria Beckham has given the trend a try. “I just can’t do heels any more. At least not when I’m working. I travel a lot. Clothes have to be simple and comfortable.” There was a time […]

Lovely on Lake Como

The Lake Como home of Francesca and Remo Ruffini featured in my previous post was designed by the French design duo Gilles et Boissier. I appreciate cleaner lines and less cutter in weekend homes where you want to relax and get away from everything and this one is perfect. It was featured years ago in Australian Vogue […]

For Restless Sleepers

I wrote about pajamas earlier this week and then kept seeing them everywhere. Dolce & Gabbana had a chic Slumber Party in Los Angeles earlier this week and later T magazine highlighted For Restless Sleepers. Founder Francesca Ruffini presented her fall collection in Milan but these photos are from the Lake Como home she shares with her […]

If I had realized that the Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire auction was scheduled for Sotheby’s in London on the day I land in Paris, I would have revised my travel plans. But thanks to the wonders of technology, we can all see everything online and even bid remotely. Although, I think I will walk over to Sotheby’s today […]

Beautiful in Belgium

Every time I visit Paris, I tell myself that this is the trip that I’m going to take the train to Belgium but I’ve still yet to make the trip. If there was a chance of visiting Dries Van Noten‘s gorgeous home in Lier, I’m sure I find a way to motivate myself. The Neoclassical house he shares with […]

J’aime Paris

This little red guide called J’aime Paris by Alain Ducasse arrived just in time for my trip to Paris next week. I actually first saw it on my last trip to Paris in October at Alain Ducasse‘s cooking school L’Ecole de Cuisine where Chanel Beauté had planned a fun evening during our Sublimage press trip. […]

Pajama Party

It’s one of those rainy and cold days in New York that make you want to stay in bed in your pajamas.  Unfortunately, I spilled nail polish on my favorite blue silk pajamas, as seen in the photo above, while I was in Florence. Now I’m on the hunt for a new pair before I […]

The fashion brand Co didn’t even show at fashion week but their fall 2016 collection is making a splash. Founders Stephanie Danan and Justin Kern photographed their Look Book at a home in Beverly Hills that was designed by Elsie de Wolfe for Countess Dorothy di Frasso around 1936 who later rented it to movie star Marlene Dietrich. The Co […]

Shine On

After seeing a photo of myself from my recent trip to Palm Springs, I realized that maybe I should start wearing brighter lipstick.  It’s an easy way to update your look and brighten your mood without spending a lot of money. As soon as I got home, I ordered a few exclusive shades of YSL Rouge […]

I received a frantic email from my friend Decorno (who really should start blogging again) today asking me if I heard about a J.K. Place hotel opening in Malibu.  Turns out that the iconic hotel group is setting up an experience J.K. Place Malibu for one week only, March 12-19, 2016 from 6:00-9:00pm. The website says, “Please […]
