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 […]

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala otherwise known as the Met Gala is described as the East Coast Oscars. The red carpet rivals that of the Academy Awards but at this event, the models and fashion designers outshine the celebrities. The entire purpose is to raise money and have a chic evening and […]
My friend Blue Carreon and I both bought wooden tennis racquets at the flea market yesterday. Mine is displayed in my blue and white porcelain umbrella stand in my entry. If I tried displaying a new tennis racquet, it would definitely not have the same effect. I miss the days before plastic and bright colors […]
I had a lovely brunch date today with everyone’s favorite comedic Canadian interior designer, Tommy Smythe. Afterward, we perused the vintage offerings at the Garage Flea Market where we found a lot of amazing items that would have perfect for a bachelor pad project. Maybe that’s the reason I felt like posting a little more […]
While we’re on the subject of Mario Testino, how chic is this “Lady Luxe” spread he shot for the March issue of British Vogue. Let’s not get caught up on the fact that model Karlie Kloss seems to be floating or falling in every picture. If you lived in a place that spectacular, you wouldn’t […]
I think it was the married straight male magazine editor Glenn O’Brien who once told a woman who mentioned loving Marni that she was lucky she was married. It’s not exactly considered sexy. Although, I think it does look good on those Italian women with tan little arms and legs like its creator Consuelo Castiglioni. […]
It was really cold and snowy for part of New York Fashion Week which was a good excuse for the fashion flock to pull out their furs. And with so many designers showing fabulous furs on the runway for fall, it definitely made me want to pull mine out too. I especially loved fur coats […]
While I loved Ann Mashburn in Atlanta, I kind of wanted to move into Sid Mashburn and marry their handsome salesman Randall. It’s a mecca for menswear and impeccable custom suiting. The tailors are on site to cater to your sartorial pleasure and couldn’t be sweeter. If you’re a Southern gentleman or even a Yankee, […]
