Lewis Miller Design posted photos on Instagram Saturday of tables they designed for an event. As other people I follow started to post images of the same event, I figured out that is was the 25th anniversary party for Laura and Harry Slatkin of Nest at their home in East Hampton. Even rain showers didn’t […]
If I had known the beauty of the Chelsea Flower Show, I definitely would have booked a ticket to London. The photos from Jo Rodgers on Vogue.com are stunning, as are her photos on Instagram. Definitely check them out.
On Monday, I had the pleasure of visiting Madeline Weinrib‘s chic showroom to see her new cotton carpets, outdoor fabrics, and bags. The new floral cotton weave Camilla carpets are a breath of fresh air this spring and a great departure from ubiquitous stripes. The flowers while inspired by Botticelli are a little bit fanciful and […]
Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. It was my birthday and I was dealing with a cold so I ended up taking the day off. Other than being sick, it was a great day filled with flowers, a facial, and great friends. I’ll be back later with a regular post. The secret of staying […]
Easter is Sunday and while I might be spending it at the Auto Show with my friend, I loving all the beautiful holiday tables and decorations on Instagram. Spring is starting to bloom in New York, but it’s at its peak in London and Paris. April is my favorite time of year and not just because my […]
Spring has definitely not spring in New York. It’s grey and rainy and nothing has bloomed yet. Until it does, I’m making due by living vicariously through those I follow on Instagram. Some reside in London and Paris which is busting with color and others are decorating their homes and tables with beautiful blooms. Enjoy! @kerrybazaar […]
In honor of International Women’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to post about one of my favorite inspiring women. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Habitually Chic and I still can’t believe all the wonderful people it’s brought into my life. It’s even more special when people I admire follow and […]
I hadn’t intended to post about fashion two days in a row but after seeing the gorgeous Ralph Lauren fashion show yesterday, I felt compelled. The “see now, buy now” collection was shown in the Ralph Lauren Women’s Mansion that was filled with walls of orchids, the sound of birds, and even moving butterflies. Just […]
One of the most beautiful presentations each season takes place in the beautiful Washington Square home of designer Adam Lippes and this year is no exception. His fall 2017 collection is filled with chunky sweaters and easy separates that you wish were available in store now. The flower arrangements by Putnam & Putnam complement the floral prints […]
I read on twitter today rom Dr. Frank Lipman that “gratitude produces a profound shift in your immune and endocrine systems, lowering stress hormoones and boosting overall health.” I hope that makes up for all the turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie we will all indulge in today. As usual, I’m grateful for your continued readership! Happy Thanksgiving! […]
Some of my favorite Instagram accounts are based in England and I recently found a new account to follow @tradchap. Jack Laver Brister describes himself on his account as a “29 year old antiques dealer and gardener living in Somerset. Currently renovating a small Georgian town house in Frome.” As with many homes in the English […]
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a dinner party with Everything but the House (EBTH) to help celebrate the launch of their online estate sales in New York. A lot of thought went into all the table top details and the guest list and I enjoyed working closely with my dear friend Andrea Stanford […]
I’m not traveling until the fall so it’s hard not to have a little fomo while scrolling through Instagram. It looks like everyone is en vacance somewhere chic like the Amalfi Coast or French Riviera. Here are a few of my favorite images from the last few weeks. @decorno in Italy @hotelducapedenroc in Antibes @aliceinherpalace in Sardinia […]
Even when I’m on a trip, like I currently am in Peru, I’m always thinking of my next destination. I’m long overdue for a visit to London especially since I have so many lovely Instagram friends in the city. One of the them is interior designer, illustrator, and garden designer Robin Lucas @robinhhlucas. His feed is […]

Designer Adam Lippes always presents his latest fashion collection in his Washington Square home where the beautiful interiors are the perfect backdrop to his gorgeous clothes. But it was the over the top “tropical Victorian” floral arrangement by Putnam Flowers that almost stole the show. They could not have been a better foil for the arctic […]
