This has been one of those weeks where I have a million things to write about but have been endlessly distracted. Maybe I’m in need of an August vacances like the French and everyone else in Europe. I promise I am going to get it together this weekend and be back at the top of my […]
At the photo shoot yesterday, I was discussing that I would like to take a flower arranging class. Another person who could give great lessons is Carolyne Roehm. I love checking out her website to see the gorgeous photos of her gardens, flowers, and tabletops. Everything she touches is chic and gorgeous. So I’m especially […]
While Peter Copping and his husband Rambert Rigaud sold their Paris apartment when Peter was appointed the artistic director of Oscar de la Renta in New York, they weren’t going to give up their Normandy retreat. You can see why from the new photos they’ve posted on Instagram. You may remember that I posted some photos from […]
Some of you might have read that I was preparing for a photo shoot in my apartment this week. I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to tell you who it was with but I can announce that the wonderful team from One Kings Lane shot my apartment today. The beautiful flowers above were brought […]
Every week I bring home bouquets of blooms to brighten up my apartment. I’ve also been lucky enough to receive a few flower deliveries sent by friends recently. I read somewhere that flowers make people happier than any other gift so why not give them to yourself as well as others. They also make great photos […]
I’ve had L. Becker Flowers on my must visit list for a while. Yesterday, I finally made a pilgrimage to the chicest shop on the Upper East Side. The most ironic thing about of L. Becker Flowers is that there aren’t actually many flowers in the space. Owner Larry Becker and his partner Roger Crowley assured […]
The May 2015 issue of Vogue has a lovely feature on fashion designer Peter Copping who took over the helm at Oscar de la Renta last year. Copping and his partner Rambert Rigaud, an amazing florist, and their two cats have landed in the West Village after moving from Paris. They both have beautiful Instagram accounts […]
Wishing all of you moms a happy and flower filled Mother’s Day! XOXO, HC Photo by me via Instagram.
I almost bought a last minute flight to Paris for this weekend because my favorite brocante ia happening in the Marais. It didn’t end up working out so instead of going to Paris, I brought Paris to me. When I was living there this summer, I fell in love with jewelry by Marion Vidal after […]
My first thought when I heard that the English fashion designer Peter Copping was named the new creative director of Oscar de la Renta was, I wonder what will happen to his amazing Instagram account. My second thought was whether he’ll have to change his Instagram from @peterricci. Peter has been based in Paris as the […]
I was talking to someone recently about what luxury means. We both agreed that it doesn’t always have to mean something expensive. For me, luxury means the little things that brighten my world like fresh flower. In New York, we’re lucky to have a bodega on every corner selling flowers so it’s easy and inexpensive […]
Sorry for the light posts this week. I’m still trying to get caught up from my summer abroad. I have some great posts planned for next week to make up for this so make sure you check back. In the meantime, I’m sharing a photo I posted on Instagram this morning. Hyacinths are usually only available […]
As much as I love attending runway shows, you often miss the details when the models are wafting past you and the person in front of you is taking pics on their ginormous iPad. So it was lovely to see Oscar de la Renta post a multitude of detail photos of the clothing and accessories from their Spring 2015 […]
I’m currently in London for a few days to meet up with my friend who’s in town from New York. The city seems a little less hectic than it did when I was here last November. We’ve had great luck with the weather and played tourist in between shopping and eating. Great restaurants to try […]
This has been a bit of a crazy week of juggling work responsibilities with social events. It started with a little visit to the Musée Rodin (above) which is within walking distance from my new apartment. I’ll have more on this soon. The big sales started this Wednesday and I’ve shopped a little at Le Bon Marché. They […]
