I’ve been thinking a lot about elegance lately. Propriety is another thing that’s been on my mind due to thirst trap photos and Generation Z telling us where we can part our hair. As Justin Sylvester said today, “Why should we take advice from kids who are still on their parent’s family plan?” Why are […]
While driving to the Plain Goods shop in New Preston, Connecticut, we drove past the home of interior designer Daniel Romualdez. The 18th-century former stone tavern had previously belonged to fashion designer Bill Blass but Romauldez has put his personal spin on the rooms without ruining any of the original charm. Landscape designer Miranda Brooks […]
I remember attending a party for Tory Burch‘s first collection at Bergdorf Goodman in 2004 and it’s amazing to see how far she’s come with her fashions and her life. Her beautiful home on Antigua is featured in the new September 2018 issue of Vogue which is worth picking up for it alone. The property on […]
Most people think of the Hamptons as just a place you visit in the summer but there are many people who use their homes year round. Tory Burch is one of these people. Her 1929 Georgian home in Southampton called Westerly was a stately mansion that was made a little more family friendly by Daniel Romualdez. […]
Since architect and interior designer Daniel Romualdez doesn’t have a website or an Instagram account, I really appreciate it when he shares one of his homes with a magazine. I was delighted to flip through the new August issue of Vanity Fair to find a feature on his Montauk retreat. The property right off the […]
Today is the first day of summer and if you’re still looking for a place to getaway out east, you might want to check out Matt Lauer’s Sag Harbor home that just received another price cut at Corcoran. The six bedroom, six bathroom 8,000-square-foot home was designed by architect Daniel Romualdez, while the Muriel Brandolini […]
The couture shows are happening right now in Paris but there are always other fashion events that are scheduled during the same week. One of those included the new Tory Burch flagship store opening on rue Saint-Honoré. “Designed by architect Daniel Romualdez, who’s done the rest of Tory’s stores and her own home in New York, […]
I had to go to multiple stores yesterday to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal with the December WSJ Magazine insert. If you missed it yesterday, you can luckily read all the stories online. You should definitely read All the Pretty Houses about designer Daniel Romualdez and his gorgeous homes seen here and […]
After seeing so much of Daniel Romualdez’s interior design work, it was nice to see one of his own homes. His Los Angeles abode is clean and bright with varying shades of whites and neutrals. It would be interesting to see how it differs from his New York home but I guess we’ll have to […]
There is no greater excitement than finding out that someone whom you admire reads your blog. Even more exciting is having the opportunity to interview them. Last Thursday, I headed over to The Fuller Building to meet Aerin Lauder to discuss all the exciting things she is working on for her new company AERIN. She […]
Yesterday, a friend mentioned noticing via Google how many posts I’ve written on Tory Burch. I only write about people worth writing about especially when they create aesthetically pleasing products and/or interiors. Both is true of Tory Burch and I love that her homes and stores inspire many with their great use of color and […]
It’s been 60+ degrees in New York for what seems like a week. I’m not complaining but that means some of you might have to travel farther afield for some snow and skiing. I’ve never been to Aspen and I haven’t been on skis in years but after seeing Aerin Lauder’s home in the snowy […]
There have been so many exciting shows, events and parties this fashion week. One of my favorites was touring the new Tory Burch boutique at 797 Madison Avenue and meeting its designer Daniel Romualdez (no website). He admitted that he is a little publicity shy when it comes to himself but was kind enough to chat with […]
The green room in the Tory Burch boutique at 797 Madison Avenue is very similar to Tory’s own living room. For a full view of her apartment, you can check out my old blog post Tory Burch At Home. Photos by Heather Clawson for Habitually Chic
There was something about the Traina’s home that I posted yesterday that reminded me of this New York apartment. It belongs to eccentric fashionista Daphne Guinness and was designed with Daniel Romualdez who she said got what she wanted right away. It was featured in the March issue of Archtechtural Digest and is a clear […]
You didn’t think I’d write a post about Tory Burch‘s personal style without following it up with her chic apartment did you? The 9,000 square foot, not so humble, abode was created by combining apartments in The Pierre Hotel by architect and designer Daniel Romualdez. It was only featured in Vogue but recently, bits and […]
