I posted on black and gold back in November but the color combination is still inspiring me.  This time it’s also mixed with a little white and maybe a touch of wood or marble. Black was big fashion look off the runway at Paris Fashion Week which is probably why I can’t stop thinking about […]

I know I just posted a lot of color but what’s really been inspiring lately is black and white. It’s the hot look for spring 2013 fashion and it’s still a classic for the home.  You might remember that Danish fashion designer Malene Birger is also a fan from this post.   Well, she’s been […]

I was going to post something else today but then I thought those of us experiencing grey skies and snow showers could use a burst of color.  Bon weekend! via AD Espana Cacharel Furbish via The Glitter Guide Sterling Style design by Frank de Biasi Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Vintage via Inaluxe via Frassy […]

All the tweets and photos from Paris Fashion Week have me itching for a trip to the City of Lights. If tax time wasn’t coming up (what’s a refund?) I’d be on an Air France flight tomorrow.  Since I’m stuck in the City that Never Sleeps which is also currently freezing, I’ll make do by […]

When I spotted Sasha Adler’s Chicago apartment in the March 2013 issue of ELLE, I remembered that I had an entire folder devoted to the the Nate Berkus Associates design directors.  The other being Lauren Buxbaum.  Not only are their home chic and stylish but their personal style is pretty perfect too. I joked once […]

When it comes to shopping for each new season, if you snooze you lose.  I’ve learned this lesson the hard way by missing out on quite a few pieces so now I shop early…and often.  The new Emerson Fry Spring 2013 Collection just went online today and the sunny California vibe is is welcome respite […]

I’ve been reading Who What Wear since they launched in 2006 so it was a huge treat to be able to meet the founders and tour their offices when I was in Los Angeles last month.  Even more exciting was visiting the fashion closet.  As we all know, everyone thinks that the fashion world revolves […]

The hardest part about attending the fall fashion shows in February is that you want to be able to immediately buy and wear everything you see on the runway.  This is especially true at J.Crew.  I loved the coats, bags, shoes, sweaters, and pretty much everything. To quote Veruca Salt, “I want it NOW”! But […]

We’re expecting a huge snowstorm in the Northeast this weekend.  That means many will be house bound with nothing to do but eat and watch trashy tv.  If you’re looking for an alternative, I suggest a little closet cleaning.  You could get a jump start on organizing your spring wardrobe and donate your castoffs to […]

There were a few themes of the 2013 Golden Globes: the flu, post-baby bodies, and odes to Angie’s right leg.  The popular colors ranges from red to black and lots of blush.  There really wasn’t anyone who stole the show but here are a few of my favorites.   Jennifer Lawrence won for Silver Linings […]

The new Lonny is online today and I immediately fell in love with this home outside Copenhagen, Denmark.  It’s owned by Marianne Brandi and Keld Mikkelsen who head the fashion company Day Birger et Mikkelsen. The company description sounds like it could also be describing their home, the “vision was to bring beautiful, ethnic influences […]

One of the first things I did when I returned from my last book signing trip was clean out my closet.  I actually had to since I could barely close the door and I really needed to get rid of some stuff.  I read once that we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the […]

I’ve always been obsessed with workspaces which is why it’s the topic of my book.  One person I wish I had been able to feature is Reed Krakoff. His office for his eponymous company is beyond chic.  He had a little help from his wife Delphine who is an interior designer but we all know […]

You really didn’t think I could post about grey and not use that title right?  It rained all day yesterday in New York and this morning is foggy and gross.  Of course that got me thinking about my favorite non-color color, grey.  I love all the shades and how well it pairs with brown and […]

I’ve already started shopping for fall and J.Crew was one of the first places I hit.  I not only love their clothes but there always chic advertising.  The new “We Know You’re Out There” campaign for fall features some favorite street style subjects and a few fabulous unknown people.  I especially love the always stylish […]

I’m off to visit my family in Pennsylvania for a little R&R.  Of course, that got me thinking about the state of fashion, or lack there of, at the airport.  It’s rare to see someone who looks nice which is sad. People traveled for hundreds if not thousands of years without wearing sweatpants and I […]

I challenged myself to wear more color this summer because that’s what every magazine and fashion blogger was touting.  The problem was that every time I did wear color, I wished I was wearing neutrals.  Sometimes you just have to stick with what works for you whether it’s fashion or decor related.  I’ve described my […]
