Nothing could ever deter me from visiting Paris so I’m already planning my next trip to the City of Light for fashion week in March 2016. I’ll probably rent an apartment with friends again but if I wasn’t, I would definitely consider the Hotel Providence from Pierre Moussié. I appreciate traditionally decorated hotels in Paris and this […]

My friend Chrsitopher Draghi lived in Florence, Italy for many years so it’s no surprise that he would create something luxurious and chic upon his return. Source Adage is a luxury ambient fragrance brand that he and Robert Dobay have conceived and designed to compliment the lifestyle of today’s sophisticated male consumer. Each of the fragrances […]

This weekend I bought a new wreath, two Amaryllis, and a small Christmas tree. I look forward to puling out all my vintage ornaments and decorations next. But I have a long way to go though to live up to the classically elegant holiday decorations of interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein recently featured on One Kings […]

Many of us grew up fantasizing about what it would be like to grow up as princess in a castle but the new book House of Thurn und Taxis illustrates the reality. In this case, the reality is even better than anything you could have dreamed up. Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis, was a countess without […]

If you happen to be in New York this holiday season,I suggest you make time to stop by the gorgeous new Goop Mrkt Pop Up Shop. I’ve seen her previous pop up shops but they pale in comparison to the “home” that designers Roman & Williams created in the Shops at Columbus Circle. The entirely […]

While I have been buying Christmas presents for others, I’ve also been buying myself a few things. The sales have been so great that it was hard not to take advantage of them. After a few deliveries arrived yesterday, I realized that most of what I’ve bought is grey.  It’s my go to color for […]

I’ve honestly been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of holiday shopping emails that have clogged my inbox the last few days. That’s why I’m doing all my gift shopping online at Nordstrom. You can find everything you need for your entire family in one place with free shipping and returns. You can even buy online […]

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Christmas. The last time I went all out decorating for the holidays, I was cleaning up pine needles in my apartment for months. So I’ve been thinking about how I can get the look with less mess. My current inspiration is Alessandra Branca‘s dining room that […]

Caroline Sieber’s wedding to Fritz von Westenholz was one of the chicest I’ve ever seen so it’s no surprise that their new home in Notting Hill is also exceptional. The couple found inspiration in their respective family homes in Austria and England (which you can see on Vogue.com) to create their own colorful townhouse. “I had […]

Families may have different traditions for Christmas and Hanukkah but Thanksgiving is all about turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. That means many hours will be spent in the kitchen. I’m still dreaming about renovating my tiny one and if you’re in the same boat, here’s some beautiful kitchens from Pinterest to inspire you. Happy Holidays! All images from […]

Holiday events start right after the Thanksgiving holiday for me so this weekend I’m laying out some of my looks.There is nothing worse than getting ready for a party and realizing you are missing a key element. My new go to dress this season is this black and gold J. McLaughlin Kaya Swing Dress. It’s […]

I can’t believe that in all the years of ordering her rugs and attending events in New York that I had never met designer Madeline Weinrib in person. It was a huge treat to visit with her in her studio and showroom recently, especially since we share a love of travel and flea markets. Although, due […]

I don’t normally post party photos but I loved all the fashions that we worn to a recent Moda Operandi soiree in London. They illustrate every possible ensemble option for the upcoming holiday party season. They include long pants, long dresses, short dresses, completely covered up, and very bare, as well as a myriad of color combinations. […]

The start of the holiday season for me is when Bergdorf Goodman unveils their amazing holiday windows. This year they have partnered with Swarovski on their “Brilliant Holiday” theme using millions of the company’s famous crystals. David Hoey, senior director of visual presentation, and his team work all year on the windows and the effort is greatly […]
