I love the magazine How to Spend It, although, they just had an unfortunate rebrand to just HTSI. I’m sure this acronym means nothing people who are not familiar with the magazine included in the weekend edition of the Financial Times. They have a regular interview feature that was also called How to Spend It […]
I get the feeling that maybe the very private Deeda Blair probably didn’t want to write a book but I’m very glad that someone talked her into it. And she realized that it was a perfect way to raise money for charity which is where the proceeds are going. There are very few truly elegant […]
It feels like Chairish is the new One Kings Lane. I used to love the house features and interviews on OKL but they were long gone so it’s nice to see some on the Chairish Blog now. Lauren Santo Domingo of Moda Operandi was just profiled and we get to see a few new spaces […]
I haven’t bought lilacs yet this spring but after seeing so many beautiful bouquets on Instagram, I think it’s going to be the first thing I do tomorrow. I especially love the arrangement above that Kate Brodsky recently received for Mother’s Day. These were the lilacs I bought and arranged last year. In order to […]

I’m actually not that sad that we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day during a pandemic since it means everyone can celebrate comfortably at home. It’s especially nice to stay cozy due to the Polar Vortex temperatures and snow in much of the country. Here are some things to keep you entertained and occupied for the long bank […]
This has been a trying year to say the least but it’s given many of us time to pause and realize what we have to be grateful for now. This year and every year, I am thankful for all my loyal blog readers and Instagram followers. I am also grateful for all the lovely people […]
It’s definitely not the ideal to have your birthday fall during quarantine but I have to say that I had a very busy and fun day for someone home alone. It was made special by lovely friends who sent and dropped off wonderful surprises. Preston from @keepitchic drove into the city and brought me pretty daffodils and […]

Everyone keeps asking how we are in New York. We’re all just taking it one day at a time. Last week was the most stressful as we all waited for word that the city would receive a “shelter in place” order. I think many people think that means that we are not allowed outside. (If […]
Just when I had decided that my spring and summer wardrobe would consist exclusively of neutrals, navy, and black, the new Emma movie comes out and makes me want to wear pretty pastry colored pastels. I suppose I could add in a few pieces or wear them on my Southern trips or I could just […]
Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend! I know a lot of people will be leaving the city this weekend but there are a lot of things happening for those who have decided to stay or those who will be visiting. I’m not really that into orchids but Jeff Leatham, famed artistic director of the […]
This year and every year, I am giving thanks for all my loyal blog readers and Instagram followers. I am also grateful for all the lovely people I follow on Instagram who post beautiful images and quotes that inspire me daily. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that those of you who […]
It’s starting to look a little bit like fall in New York but it definitely still feels like summer. I’m off on a field trip today but here are some things to do and places to go and this weekend. My new iPhone 11 Pro is scheduled to arrive this weekend and I could not […]
I had such a busy and enjoyable week and now that the sun is finally out, it feels like all is right with the world again. There were lots of events and openings as everyone tries to get things on the calendar before people start leaving for the Hamptons and summer vacations. But if you […]
Today was a busy beauty filled day. It started with a fall press preview at Hermes filled with gorgeous things as you can probably imagine. Some pieces will start hitting stores in June. Afterward, I walked to the David Zwirner gallery to see the Joan Mitchell show. It’s was insanely beautiful. I really need to […]
It was a beautiful weekend in New York and the trees and flowers are just finally starting to bloom. I took a walk in Central Park with the entirety of New York to take in the daffodils and magnolia trees. We’re finally catching up to what feels like the rest of the world, as witnessed […]
