Protagonist Fall 2016

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 […]

Going to California

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 […]

Gilt Trip

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 […]

Perfectly Flat

I happened to stop into the uptown Madewell store yesterday after a meeting and fell in love with these two tone d’orsay Lydia Flats. They would be perfect for my trip to California next week. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in the store so I have to pick them up downtown this weekend. They […]

The Haute Couture shows have ended in Paris and of course the street style looks were very chic.  I don’t wear much navy blue but I might have to start after seeing some of these looks. C’est magnifique!

I’m headed to Paris again this March for fashion week and will once again be renting an apartment from Haven in Paris.  I usually stay in Saint Germain but I’m excited to be staying on the Place des Vosges in the Marais this year for a change of pace. While this is not the apartment […]

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 […]

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 […]
