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, […]

One person who I think wears black well and makes minimalism look interesting is street style favorite Isabelle Kountoure. She is an editor with a German and Greek background who has great personal style. Her shorter hair cut is something I may also have to show my stylist. I’m flying back to NYC today, so […]

As Hatch Collection founder Ariane Goldman says, “Your style should be your companion through it all…effortless through everything: before, during and after.” And there is nothing more effortless than the Hatch Collection for fall. I love the cozy knitwear and relaxed dresses that can all be layered and even belted for those without a bump.  The […]

The reaction to my bow tie blouse post was definitely mixed. I think some people had a hard imagining how they would wear one.  I would wear the blouse with jeans and a blazer exactly like the outfit in this photo. Except for maybe the over the knee boots which make everyone look like a pirate. It’s […]

The fall 2015 Madewell catalog was photographed in Rome and it’s getting me very excited for my upcoming trip in two weeks. It’s also making me wonder what time they had to get up in order to shoot these tourist free images.

I wasn’t that impressed with the Apple Watch until I saw the new Hermés Apple Watch collaboration that was announced today. This is chic technology I can get behind. The new collection of Apple Watches in stainless steel will include “finely crafted leather bands in distinctive styles from Hermès, including the Single Tour, Double Tour and […]

Even though it’s supposed to be 93 degrees in New York today, I’m thinking about fall fashions. I look forward to cooler temperatures when I can wear jeans again. My favorite item to dress them up a little is a bow tie blouse. Luckily for me, there are quite a few options to choose from […]

Fashion week begins right after the Labor Day holiday so there is always lots of outfit planning that happens this time of year. One woman whose style I always look to for inspiration is the Stylebop.com fashion director Leila Yavari. She describes her own style as “clean, monastic, and modern” which clearly doesn’t translate to boring. I […]

When I was cleaning out stacks of old magazines recently, I tore out a feature on fashion designer Peter Som‘s apartment from years ago.  It got me wondering when we might see it profiled again and funny enough, it was featured on Lonny.com last week.  Turns out that Peter expanded the apartment in the last […]

I’ve already started to organize my closet for fall. While doing so, I’ve been trying to put some new outfits together.  I’m very excited for the first crisp September day so I can wear these new pieces from J. McLaughlin. Dont forget, J. McLaughlin is generously offering HC readers 15% off full price merchandise from August 27-30, 2015 with […]

I think the best time to shop for fall fashions is when everyone else is still laying out on the beach. You get exactly what you want in the size you want and thanks to J.McLaughlin, you can also get a special discount. The purveyor of classic American sportswear since 1977 is offering HC readers […]

After three days of 90 degree temperatures, I’m even more ready for fall. I can’t wait for cozy coats and sweaters and trips to European cities like Vienna. The Austrian city is where Bergdorf Goodman Pre-Fall 2015 Magazine photographed these very chic fashions including the Andrew Gn coat above. I’ve never been to Austria but I’m […]

I’m definitely ready for fall fashion but I did buy one last white summer dress. I wore it yesterday to The Cloisters and I hadn’t even made it into the entrance before a young man with a foreign accent told me he liked my flowy dress.  It looks like something you’d see a girl wearing in […]

I don’t have children but if I did have little girls, I would definitely dress them in Florence Fancy.  The very chic clothing line was founded by mother of two, Nancy McCormick, who was “inspired by the classic designs of European children’s fashion, craftsmanship, and grace.” I stopped by the Upper East Side boutique and showroom yesterday […]

I’m taking the day off today. Well, not really. I still have a lot of little projects and errands on my “to do” list to prepare for the photo shoot in my apartment next week. But I am taking a break from the blog. While I’m away, I highly recommend you check out the Nordstrom […]

The new August 2015 issue of Vogue has a fun feature on Tory Burch and her new Sport collection. It was shot by Bruce Weber at her Southampton home and includes her three sons with former husband Chris Burch, as well as her three step-daughters, two of which, Pookie and Louisa Burch, are the founders […]

I’ve been wearing a lot of black this summer so I’ve decided to switch things up and add some olive green to my wardrobe.  I love that the color plays nice with others like brown and tan as well as black and even pink. When I was on the Madewell site I found this Silk Stich-Edged […]
