Paris is experiencing a heat wave this week and I hope some people planned ahead and went to the shore. I can’t think of anything that would look more chic on the beach than a bathing suit and towel from Hermès Le Bain 2015. Villa sold separately.

I’m planning a trip to Italy this autumn which is just one of the reasons I love following J.J. Martin and her site La Double J. It highlights her vintage clothing and accessories for sale but also some of the chicest women of Milan. One that caught my attention recently was a feature on Pupi […]

It was five years ago that I first saw the New Jersey house of Dransfield & Ross founders John Dransfield and Geoffrey Ross and it looks just as good today. I love that One Kings Lane is able to give a more in depth look into interiors during their house tours than most magazines. And as I’ve mentioned before, […]

The worst part of the fashion calendar is that when you actually want to buy summer clothes, you’ll find nothing but in the stores but wool coats. If you’re still in need of key pieces to get you through warm weather any time of year, head to Chance where you’ll find everything you need.  The […]

  As much as I love Paris, I’m really glad I’m not in town for the latest heat wave. Well, at least I was until I saw these great photos.  Guests arriving for the Berluti menswear fashion show were greeted at the Musée Picasso by models dressed perfectly for the weather in just boxers, socks, and […]

Montauk has typically been the quieter area of the Hamptons due to its location on the very end of Long Island. That has started to change in recent years as people were priced out of other areas. Now finding anything reasonably priced in Montauk might be about to end as Andy Warhol’s old compound is put up […]

I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party for Bonpoint in a gorgeous West Village townhouse last year. (You can see the photos in my post Beautiful Bonpoint Dinner.) Now you can see the rest of the six-story home of Annabel and Jos White thanks to House & Garden magazine. The sitting room furniture was […]

Belle Magazine doesn’t have a website but they do send out an email everyday which is where I saw the beautiful photo above. It is from the Sydney home of Ronan Sulich and Margaret Nolan and was featured in the October/November 2013 issue and was photographed by Michael Wee. It was also featured on Marie […]

A small piece from the WSJ.Magazine online has led to a new design crush in Gabriela Perezutti Hearst. The Uruguay-born designer started with her first line Candela but now has a new line Gabriela Hearst that she describes as a collection “for a woman, not a girl. Someone who knows what she wants.” Although she’s lived […]

One of the most amazing old homes in Sag Harbor is the Hannibal French House on Main Street. It was built in 1834 but redesigned and enlarged in 1860 by “one of the more illustrious whaling and ship owning families” according to the Sag Harbor Historical Society. The elaborate Italianate home was also restored by more […]

One of my favorite pastimes is posting photos to Instagram of all the cool classic cars I see along my travels.  You are guaranteed to spot a lot in Sag Harbor and also Paris. In honor of Father’s Day, I’ve compiled some of my favorites. And if you’re looking last minute gift for your dad or a treat for yourself, […]

Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo posted a link to Summer Homes in Vogue on Twitter this morning and what a great way to start off this summer weekend. Click on the link to learn more about each one photographed by François Halard. Bon week-end ! HC Photos by François Halard for Vogue.

While I’m in the Hamptons, it feels like everyone else I follow on Instagram is in Italy right now. Some are on holiday but most are in Florence for Pitti Uomo, the most important menswear tradeshow on the calendar each year. It’s a chance for the men to have their day in the sun and strut […]

What my Instagram account is to the Upper East Side, that’s what Howie Guja‘s is to the East End of Long Island. I’ve been following Howie for years and love all his quintessentially American photos. I even introduced him and his family to my friend Alice and hers and now their children play together on weekends.  Recently others have […]

I’m headed to Sag Harbor tomorrow and I can’t wait for a little respite away from the city.  It’s my favorite place in the Hamptons since it’s more low key and relaxed than other areas. All the architecture out east is lovely but for some reason it looks even more charming in Sag Harbor.  Maybe because the […]

As a devout Francophile, I will see any film set in France so I’m looking forward to A Little Chaos which will be released June 26, 2015. It’s a fictionalized account of a female garden designer hired by landscape architect André le Nôtre to work on a water feature in the garden of Versailles for […]
