Sunny Days

The sun is shining and the snow is melting. Perfect time for J.Crew to launch their new line of sunglasses. There are six different frame styles for women and three for men ranging in price from $98 to $128. A perfect little present to buy yourself to get through the end of winter.

Every time you think Chanel can’t possibly get any more creative with their fashion shows, they manage to surprise you. The Chanel Haute Couture show at the Grand Palais today featured a very zen Japanese looking house and garden. The structure was closed during the show but opened up at the end to reveal all the models […]

I was reading something online that declared the last Monday in January to be the most depressing day of the year. It seemed a little silly until I woke up to discover four foot snow drifts and slush piles on every corner. If you are feeling blue, here are some images that might actually cheer […]

Andy Spade at Auction

If you’re still trapped at home due to the blizzard and have already exhausted all your usual online shopping sites, I suggest you check out Any Spade’s auction on Paddle8. He and Kate have sold their Southampton home and have decided to sell some of the contents instead of storing them. “I don’t like not […]

Chic in Sundance

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 […]

Chic in Sweden

I came across the photo above on Pinterest and immediately wanted to see more of this home. Turns out it belongs to former model and stylist Malin Persson and her family and was featured on The Way We Play. They had been living in Rome for many years when she and her husband Damiano decided to […]

Fashion favorite Emerson Fry is moving warehouses and have decided to put everything on sale so they don’t have to move it to their new location. The entire site is discounted 50-70% and you can find some amazing deals. There are even lots of coats still available for this winter. Once the inventory is gone, you […]

Palazzo Fendi

Perhaps I would have enjoyed Rome more last autumn if I had been able to stay at the ridiculously chic Fendi Private Suites Hotel featured in the new WSJ magazine out next weekend. The luxury fashion house moved its corporate headquarters and reconfigured the 17th-century Palazzo Fendi with three separate architecture firms to create the boutique hotel, their largest store, an […]

After looking at photos of men in Los Angeles who all looked like bearded hipster auto mechanics, I was delighted to find these street style photos of men actually looking like gentlemen at London Fashion Week on GQ. It gives me hope but I’m still concerned about those men in LA. “You can never be […]

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is the title of a 1974 movie staring Ellen Burstyn who plans to travel from New Mexico to California with her son to live. She never makes it but my dear friend Alice Ryan Miller and her family have successfully made the move from New York to Montecito, California. It was the […]

I’ve accompanied one of my friends to the Cartier boutique three times to try on their timeless Tank Watch.  While I was there I couldn’t help but try one on myself which now means I want one too. The Cartier Tank watch was not the first wrist watch designed by the French jewelry house but it […]

Film Frenzy

Awards Season starts in full force tonight with the Golden Globes. I’ve seen a few of the films and performances nominated which makes me more excited to see who wins. I saw Brooklyn yesterday with Saoirse Ronan and absolutely loved the sweet coming of age immigrant story set in Brooklyn and Ireland. Joy is a bit […]

One of the most popular new year’s resolutions is to clean out the closet. I really wanted to get my two closets organized over the holidays but I was just too busy. I was feeling bad about not getting to them when I read today that Mercury just went into retrograde and it’s the best time for […]

Marvelous in Michigan

Usually this time of year is pretty quiet but it just got very exciting for my dear friend Michelle Adams. Her gorgeous home in Ann Arbor, Michigan is featured in the new February issue of House Beautiful. Many of us dream of getting out of the rat race in New York but Michelle actually made the […]

Mid Century Mania

As I mentioned yesterday, two of my friends have bought mid-century homes recently.  One is in California and the other is in Connecticut. Both have already reached out for advice so I thought I would put a post together for them. My jumping off point for inspiration is David Netto‘s Neutra house in Los Angeles. […]

Rich and Layered

While many are starting off the new year with clean white spaces, I’m loving this colorful and elegant Upper East Side home of designer Ellen Hanson that was recently featured in Vogue Living. There is something about the color and art that remind me of Steven Gambrel’s old New York townhouse but of course it stands on […]
