I had a friend and former client ask me for fashion advice and wanted another post on how to style white jeans for fall. The weather seems to stay warm until October lately so you can definitely wear white jeans past Labor Day if you style them for the season. That means putting away your […]
I’ll admit that it felt like this summer flew by but I’m still very ready for la rentrée, which is what the French call the reentry after their August holidays. I can’t wait for sweater weather, leaf peeping, and fall events like the Lee Radziwill auction at Christie’s in October. If you’re not excited for […]
Every year, I eagerly await the first pre-fall collection from Sézane and it’s finally launched today. I don’t think the styling and photos are as beautiful or inspiring as they were last year but the collection is still filled with wonderful pieces to add to your autumn wardrobe. Happy September! XOXO, HC Johnson Coat and […]

The French had la rentrée yesterday and now we have our own today as everyone returns to work and school. I am always excited for fall in New York since it starts off with a bang with fashion week shows and parties. There are also a lot of great art exhibitions coming up like Delacroix […]
I’ve had a few readers ask me how to style white jeans for autumn so I thought a blog post was warranted. I’m also over the heat and all my summer clothes so all I can think about are fall fashions. Since it stays warm through October, you can definitely still wear white jeans as […]
It’s still hot in New York so it’s not coat weather yet. But I’m of the mindset that if you buy them, it will come. My coat closet is already packed but I can’t help buy at least one new coat each season and I can’t think of a better place to go for coats […]
Every morning, I’m afraid to turn on the news or look at Twitter. I feel depressed and helpless and unsure of the world. I don’t know what to do except give you a place to escape if you feel the same. Besides the Autumn poets sing A few prosaic days A little this side of […]
Tomorrow is the first day of autumn although it feels like summer is not giving up without a fight in New York. Everyone I know is looking forward to crisp weather, changing leaves, apple picking, and cozy sweaters. Here’s a little autumn inspiration to get you in the mood for fall. Wool Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater […]
The temperature has dropped and the heat has come on in my apartment building so that means it’s time to open up the coat closet. Camel coats are perfect for this time of year because they look lighter than most dark colored coats and they coordinate with almost every color. Camel looks great with white, […]
After this hot and sweaty summer, I’ve never been more ready for fall fashions and good hair weather. I can’t wait to wear cashmere and coats and sweaters and layers. The first place I’m starting my shopping is Emerson Fry whose first collection for autumn has just debuted online. The Drop Shoulder Coat in Camel is […]
A fair amount of outfit planning went into this trip to Paris. I needed to pack a lot of pieces that would work with different outfits but also be chic for fashion week. While I will be showing you some of my actual outfits tomorrow, these are some of the looks that inspired me. I’m sticking […]
This fashion month might be the best yet for street style. There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]
My favorite seasonal quote is the one from The Great Gatsby below, “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” While autumn doesn’t officially start until next week, it has gotten crisp in New York. Not only is everyone happy to no longer be sweating but they are also happy to […]
I don’t wear a lot of color to begin with but this time of year always makes me want to start shifting into neutrals in preparation of autumn. Here’s a little inspiration to help you get in the mood too. Photo of Paris by me. Saint Laurent Sac Université Shoulder Bag Daria Werbowy for Mango. […]
Now that I have the dates of my summer sojourn to Paris planned, I’m already thinking about what I am going to pack. I will be away for four months and will have to be prepared for a temperature fluctuation from around 50 degrees to possibly 80 degrees or more, especially as I travel to […]
The word luxury is bandied about so much that it’s started to lose its meaning. If there is one house that still typifies the word luxury, it’s Hermès. It’s also synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. While the Birkin bag may now be ubiquitous, the clothing will always hold down the fort on quiet yet interesting designs. Hermès unveiled […]
