As you know, I love visiting the flea markets in New York and Paris. I love searching for vintage treasures and antiques but I don’t have the time to go that often. (That’s my gallery wall of art above.) Now flea market style comes to me, and you, in the form of online estate sales […]
My final show each fashion week is Ralph Lauren. I like to think of it as saving the best for last and it always ends the week on a high note. While the red, white, and blue color palette might seem all American, the lyrics that played while Mr. Lauren took his bow was “I love […]
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 […]
I came across this beautiful bedroom on Pinterest and turns out it was designed by Cameron Kimber Design in Australia. It reminds me of something we might have seen in one of Bunny Mellon’s homes but it also feels fresh and modern. It also looks like the most comfortable cocoon like bedroom I’ve ever seen. The […]

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 […]
I don’t know William McLure but I love following his personal decorating projects on his Instagram and Pinterest accounts. William works as an interior designer for architect Bill Ingram in Birmingham, Alabama but he’s always reworking his own spaces. He moved into a new house and painted his bedroom floors white and the walls blue […]
Those of you who can’t make it to New York to shop Housing Works Design on a Dime are in luck. Chance Co. founder Julia Leach has curated a sale full of blue and white delights for One Kings Lane. You could actually furnish an entire beach house with her picks and I’ve chosen a […]
The blue and white striped space that Miles Redd designed for Housing Works Design on a Dime makes me want to book a trip to Capri asap. It reminds me of the things I love about the JK Place Hotel. Since I can’t book a trip right now, maybe I’ll make due with a fern […]
Most of the articles surround the sale of Bunny Mellon’s estate at Sotheby’s mention her relationship with Hubert de Givenchy. He was not only her go to designer but also a good friend. So much so that he had a bedroom in his Cap Ferrat home dubbed the Bunny guest room, above. Clos de Fiorentina has […]
The word vacances is on everyone lips and on the sign on every shop that is closed. It’s also the subject of the new special issue of AD France Best of issue, les 25 plus belles maisons de vacances. Some of them I’ve seen before but not this one in Andalusia by Laura Sartori Remini […]
Sometimes I feel like all European apartments are white so I was happy to see this Milan apartment filled with beautiful blue walls. It was featured in this weekend’s T magazine and is the home of Italian writer Benedetta Cibrario. Besides blue, it’s filled with gilt frames, multiple patterns, and pops of red. It’s the […]
When I went on the Carrier and Company website on Friday to link to their site, I noticed a beautiful beach house project in the Hamptons. It made me a little wistful about not being here to go out East this summer. I’m sure that will pass the minute I land in Paris but I […]
The warmer temperatures are a great time to lighten up not only your wardrobe but also your home. It’s the perfect opportunity to pull out your blue and white china or buy a few pieces. The best places to find it in New York are Pearl River Mart and William Wayne. Happy Spring! Didier Haspeslagh […]
While I was styling an early Thanksgiving table this week for a photo shoot, I was lamenting the fact that I don’t have a large collection of blue and white china like my friend Alice Ryan does above. I was also kicking myself for not buying up the boxes of china I’ve seen at the […]
Who could have predicted that my instagram pic my flatware in Mason jars would garner more likes than any other photo. It really is the simplest solution if you don’t have any drawers in your kitchen like me. Big thanks to MONC XIII for the inspiration.
I’m still recovering from my fun weekend in the Hamptons and have a lot of photos still to edit. Until those are ready, I’m leaving you with this beautiful home in Bridgehampton, New York designed by Vicente Wolf. Nothing says the beach like blue and white but what I really love is the interesting art […]
