While Peter Copping and his husband Rambert Rigaud sold their Paris apartment when Peter was appointed the artistic director of Oscar de la Renta in New York, they weren’t going to give up their Normandy retreat. You can see why from the new photos they’ve posted on Instagram. You may remember that I posted some photos from […]

Some of you might have read that I was preparing for a photo shoot in my apartment this week.  I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to tell you who it was with but I can announce that the wonderful team from One Kings Lane shot my apartment today. The beautiful flowers above were brought […]

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about gut renovating my tiny kitchen. Small New York City kitchens are probably why everyone goes out to restaurants or orders in. I have folders full of dream kitchen inspiration and this one has gone to the top of the list. It was designed […]

I’m taking the day off today. Well, not really. I still have a lot of little projects and errands on my “to do” list to prepare for the photo shoot in my apartment next week. But I am taking a break from the blog. While I’m away, I highly recommend you check out the Nordstrom […]

I never tire of seeing Aerin Lauder’s Southampton home because it’s so warm and welcoming.  It recently welcomed Garence Doré who photographed her visit which included a look at Aerin’s new Rose de Grasse perfume and a lovely lunch. As Garance mentions, the house could be intimidating because it belonged to Estée Lauder but Aerin […]

While we’re on the topic of Ralph Lauren, can we talk about all the gorgeous blue and white pieces are in the entertaining collection from Ralph Lauren Home.  Not only does it remind me of the summer outdoor decor at Ralph’s restaurant in Paris but it also makes me want to plan a party. Or […]

My friend Chris Black posted a link to a fun tumblr this morning, Old Ralph Lauren Adverts.  It’s a walk down memory lane of all the vintage styles of Ralph Lauren and their “aspirational” images. Except for a few oversized styles from the 1980’s, everything looks like something you could wear today. A testament to […]

I came across a photo on Pinterest yesterday that led me to a dreamy rental property Le Lieu Perdu in France on Lonny.  It didn’t surprise me to read that Julia Leach, the founder of Chance, was the one who had rented the turreted home in the Dordogne region of France.  She said she bookmarked the listing on […]

When I was in London a few years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Ben Pentreath‘s very elegant office and chic shop Pentreath & Hall. Unfortunately, Ben was traveling so we weren’t able to meet but I feel like I’ve gotten to know him by following his Instagram account. It chronicles his London life but […]

There is nothing better than a sunny summer Saturday, especially when the humidity is low.  I spent most of my day outside reading which included the chic August 2015 issue of Condé Nast Traveler, on my favorite Missoni Home beach towel, while slathered in Clinique SPF 30, while wearing my favorite Celine sunglasses. Hope you had […]

Porter magazine just announced today that Daria Werbowy will grace different two versions of their fall 2015 issue. It won’t be out until next week so until then, I’m going back to look at the beautiful photos that Mikael Jansson shot of her in Sweden for Interview magazine. Even though she’s a tall model with […]

The new August 2015 issue of Vogue has a fun feature on Tory Burch and her new Sport collection. It was shot by Bruce Weber at her Southampton home and includes her three sons with former husband Chris Burch, as well as her three step-daughters, two of which, Pookie and Louisa Burch, are the founders […]

As I mentioned, I’m getting ready for an exciting photo shoot of my apartment. I’ve been trying to make some changes so it won’t be boring for you.  I’ve also been looking back at some of my favorite interiors for inspiration. I’ve posted Cameron Kimber‘s old home in Sydney before but it still looks so […]

I’ve been wearing a lot of black this summer so I’ve decided to switch things up and add some olive green to my wardrobe.  I love that the color plays nice with others like brown and tan as well as black and even pink. When I was on the Madewell site I found this Silk Stich-Edged […]

It’s a gorgeous non-humid day in New York and I’m headed to the flower district to buy a tree and a few other things for a photo shoot.  I hope someday to be buying plants and flowers for an outdoor space but until then, I’m going to enjoy the gorgeous garden of Axel Vervoordt in Belgium. The […]

We’re on our third day of 90+ degrees in New York City which as you can imagine is not pleasant.  A refreshing dip in a pool would be very nice today but since that is not on the schedule, these cool pool photos will have to suffice. Enjoy! All photos via Pinterest.

I was honored to be asked by Sotheby’s to host the Young Collector’s event this week as well as participate in a fun interview with four other tastemakers. The Contemporary Living: Photographs, Prints, Design sale is currently on view before the auction on July 22nd at 10:00am. It’s filled with approximately 250 objects from the 20th & 21st centuries, including […]
