Before I head off on my next trip, I thought it might be a good idea to finally recap my two week trip to Italy last autumn which includes some of the things I wore along the way. I started  off in Milan for fashion week and then traveled on to Venice, Rome, and Florence before […]

Although I had an amazing trip to California, more on that later, I am very excited for my upcoming trip to Paris in two weeks.  While this apartment in Lyon and not Paris, it still has that quintessential French feel that includes tall windows, boiseries, and beautiful wood floors. It is the home of designers Pierre Emmanuel Martin […]

I’m not a fan of Instagram accounts that post old photos but following Hakan Groth is the best of both worlds. The London-based antiques dealer at Rupert Cavendish Antiques posts his own photos of historic homes in Sweden that look as if they couldn’t possibly be new. The photos here were taken at “Sandemar Manor by […]

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 […]

One of the first placesI went shopping in Los Angeles last week was the boutique Violet Grey. The Melrose Place mecca for carefully curated beauty products did not disappoint. I saw a lot of things I already use which was gratifying like the Chanel Sublimage line which I swear is the key to surviving long plane […]

Designer Adam Lippes always presents his latest fashion collection in his Washington Square home where the beautiful interiors are the perfect backdrop to his gorgeous clothes. But it was the over the top “tropical Victorian” floral arrangement by Putnam Flowers that almost stole the show. They could not have been a better foil for the arctic […]

Valentine’s Day weekend seems like the perfect time to announce that a documentary about the venerable jewelry house Tiffany & Co. will be released on February 19th. Crazy About Tiffany’s was fully authorized by Tiffany & Co. and was written and directed by Matthew Miele who also made Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorfs who spent three years making […]

Now that New York Fashion Week left Lincoln Center, designers have been shaking up the way they show their new collections. Wes Gordon is presenting his Fall 2016 fashions in short films and Instagram images some of which were shot in the very chic apartment of Stephen Sills. Considering how cold it is in New York right […]

While I was in Montecito last weekend, designer Kendall Conrad was insistent that I visit Miri Mara Ceramics. After seeing the unique shapes, textures, and colors of their pieces, I can see why.  Owner Fatmir “Miri” Mara was a fashion designer in Milan for almost 20 years before he and his husband decided to retire to Santa Barbara. […]

I arrived back home in New York very late last night.  The freezing cold weather makes me wish I had stayed in California but the fall 2016 Protagonist collection makes me wish I had come home early to see it in person. It was held at Vanessa Traina’s The Apartment by The Line and it […]

There are so many wonderful stores in the Montecito Country Mart such Kendall Conrad, Merci to Go, and Hudson Grace, but I was most excited to finally see my friend Matt Albiani’s Mate Gallery. The nautical themed jewel box is filled to the brim with seascapes, first edition books, knick knacks, clothing, and more. It’s […]

Who says Valentine’s Day has to be only about couples?! I think you can celebrate with and buy gifts for your best friend, sister, mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother, and yourself. A great place to start looking is Nordstrom. I love all the different options they carry from high jewelry to everyday options. And if you […]

While I’m in California today, my mind is on Italy. I’m taking over the Farrow & Ball Instagram account today to highlight all the green I saw in on my autumn trip to celebrate their nine new colours including my favorite Yeabridge Green. The Wes Anderson designed Bar Luce in the Fondazione Prada in Milan had […]

I am very excited to be traveling to sunny and warm California today. I’m starting off in Los Angeles for a few days. The last time I was in LA was three years ago. It rained that entire trip and I think I was so traumatized that I haven’t been back since. I’m really looking […]

I enjoy traveling but not the packing and mad dash to finish work before leaving. While I take care of all those last minute details, I leave you with this beautiful home of Plume Voyage magazine editor Capucine Gougenheim-Geagea. The Haussmann apartment in Paris was featured in Cote Maison and has gorgeous gilt boiseries and and an enviable art […]

I usually don’t post a red carpet recap of the SAG Awards since they sometimes seem a bit of a hot mess but not this year. There were so many great looks starting with Saiorse Ronan looking pretty in pink Michael Kors. I think she looked effortlessly beautiful with perfect hair and makeup too. I’m wondering […]
