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 […]
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 […]
