The first day of winter is Tuesday but you would never know it on the East Coast.  The temperature will be in the 70’s in New York on Christmas Eve. That’s why I’m living vicariously through those experiencing snow on Instagram.  Interior designer Andrew Brown was recently in snowy Colorado and his photos could not […]

I have no idea where Elf on a Shelf originated but no one is more creative with their elves than actress Busy Phillips. Every Christmas, I look forward to following her adorable elves’ adventures Instagram. She even makes little outfits for them. Now that’s a great mom.

The last two weeks have been filled with holiday parties and events. There is none more chic than the party given each year by John Demsey, Group President of the Estee Lauder Companies, at his townhouse. While at his party Tuesday night, I noticed a very chic looking older gentleman on the other side of the […]

I cleaned out more stacks of magazines this weekend. This included the sacrilegious task of getting rid of old issues of World of Interiors.  If I had the room, I’d keep them forever but it’s much easier to refer to the back issues online where they take up no space in ones apartment. In the November […]

The recent heat wave has made walking around New York much more enjoyable than usual this December. It has also made photographing the holiday decor a lot easier without frozen fingers. I had the pleasure of having the company of Tommy Smythe on Saturday to instagram all the wonderful decorations in the West Village. Tommy even moved […]

I realized recently that I’ve been wearing the same style jeans for the last few years.  It’s definitely time to branch out and add some new styles to my closet. I can’t think of anyone better to look to for inspiration other than Vogue Paris editor in chief, Emmanuelle Alt. She’s photographed outside the fashion […]

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 […]

I’ve professed my love for Everlane over the years and now there are more reasons to love the online retailer. Today they have just launched Everlane Mini, a chic and simple collection for the little people in your life. The 11-piece collection includes similar essentials favorited by adults including classic striped tees, cashmere sweaters, and knit accessories without […]

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 […]

There is a definite chill in the air now so it’s time to start thinking about decorating your home for the cold winter months.  One way to warm up your home is to cover your bare floors with beautiful soft rugs. And lucky for you, Doris Leslie Blau is offering 50% off hundreds of styles […]
