My Mother’s Day gift guide this year is a little late but you can also use the recommendations for hostess gifts this summer too. If you owe your success to your mother, you owe her this chic Prada Floral Printed Saffiano Leather Bag. How about a Cotton and Silk Sweater in a pretty hue for […]

In case you weren’t paying attention, Easter is earlier on March 31st this year. I’ve put together gifts in case you haven’t shopped yet and a few fashions suggestions for you to wear. Hopefully, it’s not going to snow where you live. This Floral Fauna Print Draped Midi Dress would be pretty for Easter or […]

One way to escape the January doldrums is to start shopping for Valentine’s Day. I’ve put together almost 60 gifts for women, men, teens, little kids, furry friends, and of course, yourself. One for them, two for me is my motto. Brighten up your wardrobe for February with this fuchsia double-breasted belted wool-blend felt coat. […]

If you’re behind on your holiday shopping, Saks has you covered with some great last minute gifts for yourself and others. I’ve picked out some of my favorites to help get you started.

Thank you for all the lovely messages about my first holiday gift guide this season. I’m back with even more chic and fun presents for the entire family. Happy Shopping! I think these Blue Moiré Mary Jane Flats would be a perfect early present for a tween to wear to holiday parties. Mario Buatta was the Prince […]

Yes, I am posting my first holiday gift guide for 2023 when it’s unseasonably warm and before Halloween has even arrived but the early bird gets the worm as they say. I slacked off my on gift guides last year because of my two week trip to Paris so I wanted to get a head […]

I didn’t create a Father’s Day Gift Guide last year so I’m making up for it this year with 54 gifts to get the man in your life. The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder is the hot book of the summer and looks like the perfect subject matter for dad. I remember […]

If your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews need some new sleepwear this holiday season, Petit Plume has the nicest option. I especially like this Baby’s, Little […]

I know we still have to get through Halloween but it’s also time to start thinking about your holiday shopping. A lot of popular presents sell out early every year so I always try to post them first so you don’t miss out. I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t like Ina Garten. I’m […]

If you are lucky enough to get invited to someone’s home or boat this summer, you definitely want to take a hostess gift so you get invited again next year. As I’ve mentioned before, I love giving and ephemeral gift like food or wine with something that will they will have once the others have […]

While you are snowed in this weekend, I recommend that shop for Valentine’s Day. I’ve put together over 60 gifts for women, men, terrible teens, little kids, furry friends, and of course, yourself. One for them, two for me is always my motto. This pretty pink blazer would make a lovely gift for yourself for […]

My final gift guide was delayed due to travel and holiday events. And also because of those events last week, I’m now at home nursing a cold. It’s the first time I’ve been sick since 2018 so I guess I was due. (I know it’s not Covid because I took a test.) If you haven’t […]

When I lived in Paris in 2014, I spent two months living right next to Le Bon Marché, one of my favorite places in the City of Light. I spent a lot of time shopping at the department store and Le Grand Èpicerie so they hold a special place in my heart. Since I’ve been […]

Thank you for all the great feedback on my first two holiday gift guides. I’m sorry some things have already sold out but we’ve put together more than 40 new gift suggestions that are currently in stock that I think your friends and family will love. I love to start each of my gift guides […]

I found so many great gift options I couldn’t fit them all in my first gift guide so I decided to post my second gift guide this week too. As we know, there could be shipping delays and supply chain issues, it’s best to shop early for everyone on your list. Do you have a […]

I know some people will think this holiday gift guide is too early and others will be excited because they can start shopping now. I’m posting earlier than usual because retailers are worried about shipping delays and since most people shop online each year. I like to mix up my gift guides for items for […]
