I like to keep my workout clothes separate from my regular wardrobe. But the more I see sneakers worn while not breaking a sweat, I’m starting to rethink my rules. A pair of New Balance trainers could be a chic alternative to flats for traversing the city. via Glamour France via The Sartorialist via […]
As soon as the weather turns grey and chilly like today, I start pulling out my grey clothes. It’s become my go since it’s less harsh than black and is the perfect complement to my hair color. As we know, it’s also a popular choice of paint color and plays well with almost every other […]
I included a look from the Spring/Summer 2014 Hermès show in my last post which reminded me that I should take a more in depth look at the collection. As you know, Hermès is best known for their leather accessories and bags but they also offer discreetly chic clothing to go along with said bags. The spring show was […]
New York fashion week just ended yesterday and I’m definitely still recovering. While I take a moment to finally catch up on my emails and edit my photos, I leave you with this fashionable abode. Domaine Home posted some photos this week and it reminded me how much I love this apartment owned by the […]
While I was on the Vogue Paris website yesterday, I also came across this little feature on Sofia Coppola’s new limited edition Louis Vuitton SC bag exclusively for Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris. It’s an update of the design she created in 2009 in cobalt blue with fuchsia trim in two sizes that will be available in September 2013. Better […]
I’m a huge proponent of “to each his own” but whenever I see fashion bloggers in their technicolor outfits, endless arm parties, and unnatural nail art, I want to run screaming in the opposite direction. I think that’s why I have an affinity for the French editors. My new favorite is Capucine Safyurtlu, the fashion […]
It’s my dream to spend time with my ultimate style idol, Carolina Herrera. Until that actually happens, I’ll make due with these images of her very chic studio via Vogue and her instagram feed. Photos by Victoria Will via Vogue
It’s going to be 90 degrees in New York today and you know what that means, it’s time to start thinking about fall fashions. The Autumn/Winter 2013 Paule Ka campaign with model Angela Lindvall was just released today and has me excited for cooler weather and chicer clothes. I’m also excited for the French brand’s […]
If you’ve ever walked around midtown during lunch time, you know American men love themselves a baggy suit. It’s too bad they don’t realize that good tailoring can make you look at least 10 pounds thinner and even 10 years younger. If you or the man in your life could use a little sartorial sprucing, […]
I had the pleasure of attending an intimate dinner last week to celebrate the collaboration between everyone’s favorite online stationer, Paperless Post, and Oscar de la Renta. The twist being that now you can purchase physical stationery and invitations to be mailed at the post office and not just via email. The resulting pieces take […]
I’ve realized this spring that my mood is directly proportional to the weather. I’m afraid this week does not bode well in that regard so I thought we could probably all use a little color to cheer us up. Enjoy!

Once again, I know it’s spring and I’m supposed to be all about color but I am still being inspired by black and white. I mean, aren’t the black and white striped window treatments in the Milestone Hotel in London above amazing? How could you not be inspired by them. Enjoy! J.Crew Home of Naja […]
Speaking of skirts, I had my eye on the Chloe Inverted Pleat Skirt (on the left) at Barneys for a while. But $850 seemed a bit much to spend on a tan skirt that I would probably drop gelato down the front of on the first warm day of spring. (Have I mentioned there is a […]
The temperature in New York is headed into the 70’s this week. Hallelujah! That means we women, and a few men, can all pull a skirt out our closet and wear it with bare legs and maybe even some sandals. There is something about a full flirty skirt that seems so perfect for spring too. […]
It seems like everyone is pregnant these days from the Duchess of Cambridge to Kim Kardashian. If you are also expecting, then do I have a giveaway for you! HATCH Collection is generously offering one lucky Habitually Chic reader a $500 gift certificate to their site. It’s full of great pieces of chic, timeless, and comfortable […]
When I read one reviewer of the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art describe the Impressionist artists as the “street style photographers of the past”, I thought Monet and Manet would roll over in their graves. But once you see the exhibition in person, you realize that the Impressionists […]
Since I live in New York, I have a lot of friends who work for fashion designers, magazines, and pr firms. I am often privy to how things really work behind the scenes. If you want insight into it too, I suggest reading Who Watches the Watchmen? an Op-Ed piece on the Business of Fashion […]
