The holidays are coming up whether we’re ready for them or not. If you’re overwhelmed by the prospect of finding presents for everyone on your list, there is no better place to start than Mark and Graham. Many of their pieces made it into my holiday gift guides last year and will again this year. […]

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the new One Kings Lane store in the downtown Soho neighborhood of New York. The store doesn’t officially open to the public until Friday, November 2nd but many people already were trying to open the door to get inside to shop. Once you look through my photos, you’ll […]

If you’ve ever taken a walk on the Upper East Side or West Village during October, you’ll see houses with over the top decorations for Halloween. Some are so scary that I avoid during certain streets during this time of year. I personally prefer chicer home decor and tabletop pieces that can transition from Halloween […]

I had meant to get my Father’s Day gift guide up earlier this week but my trip to the Hamptons caused a delay but don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to shop. Father’s Day is a great time to treat the men in your life to things they might not buy themselves or […]

Mother’s Day is less than four weeks away on May 13th so I’m giving you ample heads up. You have no excuse not to find something special for the special woman or women in your life. As I’ve mentioned before, when giving an ephemeral gift like flowers or a spa day, I think it’s nice […]

I love the John Derian stores on East 2nd Street but they are a destination and not a place I walk by regularly. That’s why I am so excited about his new store that just opened at 18 Christopher Street in the West Village which is one of my regular haunts. The front of the […]

Valentine’s Day is coming up in two and a half weeks. I know a lot of people hate this commercial holiday but it can be fun if you embrace it. You can celebrate with friends and family, plan a romantic date night, or treat yourself to a spa day and some self love. To get […]

I was going to post one last gift guide today but honestly, I’m all gift guided out. I thought it might be fun to post what I’ve bought myself for Christmas instead. I just read that approximately 60% of people admit to self gifting so I’m glad I’m not alone. I hope my gifts to […]

I know many of you will be visiting New York this holiday season so I wanted to share a few great pop up shops and one permanent store open now. When you run out of time for online shopping, you still have a lot of wonderful options in the city. It was a fun treat […]

Shopping online is easy but if you want to find presents in person, I suggest heading to Jayson Home in Soho. They are full of books, candles, objects, furniture, and more. I love visiting their Chicago store and we are so lucky to have them in New York now. Stop by and say hello or […]

I love a place that allows for one-stop shopping for the holidays and beloved-British brand, The White Company, is the perfect place to get gifts for everyone on your list this year. They offer elegant and affordable gifts for women, men, children, and home, as well as gift wrap, ribbon, tags, decorations, and more. The […]

There is nothing I find more overwhelming that creating gender and age specific holiday gift guides. Instead of doing it the way everyone else is doing it this year, I’ve decided to create a few favorite things gift guides inspired by Oprah. This one mixes gifts for everyone on your list so you can get […]

Black Friday refers to the time when stores would go from the red to the black as shoppers took advantage after Thanksgiving sales. It’s also an excuse for me to put together my annual black color compilation post. Hope you find some great bargains this weekend! ANN TAYLOR – 50% off everything with code GOPINK […]

I read a funny Father’s Day card today. It said that Father’s Day was created in June because a month after Mother’s Day someone said, “hey, wait a minute!” Don’t let your father or the father in your life be forgotten this year. To help you, I’ve put together a bunch of great gift ideas […]

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14th. Time to start thinking about what you will buy the mothers in your life and what you might wear if it’s your special day. Nordstrom has you covered for both with lots of beautiful dresses and Mother’s Day gifts. The free shipping and returns makes shopping at Nordstrom extremely easy. […]

Mother’s Day is a little less than two weeks away. If you haven’t found a gift yet for the moms in your life, Nordstrom has a myriad of fine jewelry options that would make the perfect present. If you are a mom, you may want to forward this post to someone as a hint. With free […]

I still can’t believe that Thanksgiving is next week. It also means that holiday parties will be in full swing very soon. If you’re looking for a shimmery party dress to wear to an event or a cozy gift to give, J.McLaughlin has everything you need to embrace the season and its sentiments. And if this next […]
