I can’t believe the year is half over and the Fourth of July is next week. I love Independence Day celebrations and the preppy red, white, and blue fashion, accessories, and decor that let Americans show their patriotism. If you need some updates to get you into the holiday spirit, I’ve picked out my favorites […]

As you know, I travel a lot. I’ve stayed in every conceivable type of hotel from tiny boutiques to five star resorts. I’ve experienced the best and the worst that the hotel industry could dream up. I’ve been known to move furniture and obsess over design details that I wish I could change. I can […]

I can’t think of a better time to post about beach themed art than the day I leave for Nantucket. If you’re looking to decorate your summer rental, make a change, or help a graduate with their new apartment, Society6 and Saatchi Art have you covered. Society6 offers affordable art prints framed and unframed, as well […]

One of the best things about summer is that you can use fun straw and wicker handbags instead of feeling pressured to have the latest “it” bag. Here are some of my favorites that will add pizazz to any warm weather ensemble. Many are on sale too! Above: Honolulu Basket  Beach Please Bag – now 50% […]

Bermuda Bound

09 . 29 . 17

After a whirlwind week, I’m Bermuda bound this morning for a weekend of rest and relaxation at the Hamilton Princess Hotel and Beach Club. While many islands in the Caribbean are still recovering from recent hurricanes, Bermuda was left untouched due to its location which is just 655 miles off the coast of North Carolina. […]

Out East Style

06 . 13 . 17

Yesterday’s post got me thinking about all the great things you can purchase online for a house in the Hamptons or at the beach. The image above is another from the upcoming book Out East: Houses and Gardens of the Hamptons and is the inspiration for all these wonderful pieces. Bungalow Sofa Lift Top Coffee Table  […]

Off to Grand Cayman

01 . 12 . 17

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m headed to Grand Cayman today with the Swiss skincare brand La Prairie to help celebrate the upcoming launch of their new Line Interception Power Duo. I’ve already been using it since November and I can honestly say you will love dual say and night creams to fight wrinkles. The spa in the […]

Chic in Cozumel

12 . 08 . 16

I arrived in Mexico today, just in time to escape the cold snap that is expected in New York this weekend. I’m staying at the Presidente InterContinental Hotel in Cozumel where it’s 85 degrees and sunny. I’ll be exploring the San Gervasio Ruins tomorrow and trying to fit in as many spa treatments and sunning […]

The weather is finally heating up and I’m sweating just thinking about the temperature hitting 90 degrees today. But have no fear, the 11-piece beachwear Hatch Plage Collection will keep you cool all summer. (Plage means beach in French.) Founder Ariane Goldman was inspired this season by a trip to Marrakech with her husband last […]

Montecito Magic

03 . 03 . 16

The highlight of my recent trip to California was visiting Montecito. It’s an idyllic town in Santa Barbara where a few people I know live. They say once you visit Montecito, you will buy a house there and will I am not sure about the three month deadline, I could definitely see myself living there […]

It feels like everyone on Instagram is either in the mountains skiing or enjoying some fun in the sun at the beach. Tory Burch has been posting photos from her retreat in the West Indies. If you look closely, you might notice that her house used to belong to Bunny Mellon. When I went back to […]

Halcyon House Hotel

07 . 06 . 15

I knew Australian interior designer Anna Spiro was working on something great via Instagram but I wasn’t exactly sure what until I saw another Instagram post from artist Wayne Pate. Turns out it was a hotel Halcyon House and restaurant Paper Daisy for which Wayne illustrated the menus. Halcyon House is located in Cabarita Beach, New South Wales, Australia and was […]

Do Not Disturb

07 . 04 . 15

Whether you’re celebrating Independence Day in the USA or escaping the heat wave in Europe, I hope no one disturbs you. Although, I think that would be easier if you had this chic Do Not Disturb hat which I’m definitely ordering for myself. Bon weekend! Photo via Gary Pepper Girl.

Everyone I spoke with this week said they thought Memorial Day was next weekend.  If the early holiday has left you unprepared for summer, Heidi Wynne has you covered.  She is generously offering HC readers free shipping and 15% off site wide with code CHIC15 until June 10, 2015.  Heidi has a wide array of straw and […]

It feels like the weather has bypassed spring and moved straight to summer.  I would be more excited about the warmer temperatures if I felt like my closet was also ready. If you’re in the same boat as me or just want to add a few new chic pieces to your warm weather wardrobe, I […]

Everyone always asks me what I pack and for this trip to Costa Rica, it was all sleeveless dresses and beach cover ups. The weather has been in the 90’s which isn’t that bad once you get used to it or can jump in the pool.  Sunscreen is also extremely important since we’re so close […]

I had planned a longer post for today but the beach was calling. I’ll be back on Saturday with a fun outfit post on what I packed for Costa Rica. Bon week-end ! HC
