Sorry for the radio silence here on the blog. Those of you who follow me on Instagram and Substack already know that I had emergency gallbladder removal surgery two weeks ago but those who don’t can get caught up here and here. I also posted what I bought for fall on Substack if you’ve been […]
I look forward to September in New York every year but I’m trying to savor the last days of August. I always love how the light gets warmer and lower this month. It makes me want to switch to neutrals to prepare for autumn’s arrival. Here’s an ode to these days. Pablo Picasso Pure cashmere […]

After taking off a busy pre-holiday week, I’m back to wish you a very Merry Christmas. I joked with a friend recently that I thrive when everyone else is away since it gives me some quiet time to do things without distraction so expect some blog posts between now and the year. That is my […]
The temperature has finally turned cold this week in New York which means I’m swathed from head to toe in grey cashmere and wool. Grey is always my go to color for late fall and winter since it’s the perfect complement for my hair color and doesn’t show lint like black. It also pairs well […]
It’s finally cold enough to finally feel like October and thus post my October Inspiration post for 2023. Photo of a New York townhouse by me.

The days are getting shorter and the light is getting lower which means summer is almost over. While I might be shifting to wearing more neutrals instead of bright colors, I don’t plan to give up wearing white just yet.

I delayed my October Inspiration post this year because it has still felt a lot like summer lately. I think next week should feel more like October so hopefully this will put you in the mood for pumpkin patches and tweed jackets. Photo by me .

Autumn officially began yesterday evening and the temperature in New York this morning is 51 degrees so fall is really here. I’m excited to wear all the new sweaters I bought so far this season but I definitely need to turn over my closet this weekend. If you need any inspiration to get you into […]
I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track. They’ve already come back but as Americans go back to school and work after this long Labor Day weekend, it’s time to […]
The days are getting shorter and the light is getting lower which means summer is almost over. While I might be shifting to wearing neutrals instead of bright colors now, I don’t plan to give up wearing white just yet. It also means a good excuse for a color compilation post. Enjoy.

I apologize for the lack of posts for the past week and a half. I was having issues with the website, I also had a friend in New York, and then war was waged on Ukraine by Russia. Every time I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, something else happens. […]
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve put together some pretty pink pieces to brighten up your day. XOXO, HC Prettiest pink silk-georgette midi dress. There is nothing more romantic than pink Manolo Blahnik embellished satin pumps. Something a little more reasonably priced is this pink suede shoulder bag. I love this pink handmade wool coat […]
Every New Year’s Day, I set intentions for what I want to do in the coming year. It’s been very hard to plan anything the last two years but I’ve decided that this year I want to stop simply surviving and start thriving again. Only time will tell how far I get. White Felt Coat […]

I usually post these on the day after Thanksgiving but many sales have started early and those of you who receive the email subscription will receive them on Black Friday morning. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy […]
