It’s rainy, cold and grey in New York today. It matches my winter wardrobe, the mood in the city, and this color compilation post. Enjoy. Outfit in first photos via J.Crew. Stainless Steel and Rose Gold Rolex from 1962 via 1stdibs. Christian Dior

I know a lot of you love my outfit posts so I’m going to try to start posting more.  The only problem is that I subscribe to the “quality not quantity” rule of thumb when it comes to shopping for clothes for I end up wearing the same things a lot. My wardrobe is made […]

The New York Times Fashion section just posted this photo on their Instagram.  They caught the actress Louise Grinberg leaving the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris. I love everything about this look from her hair to the ladylike blouse and grey cable knit sweater and pants paired with the burgundy bag.  It’s the perfect […]

New York Fashion Week kicked off last night with a fete at Gracie Mansion and I noticed a theme among a few of the designers.  Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Carolina Herrera all wore grey and white.  A great way to transition your white pieces for after Labor Day. I’ll be attending all […]

I feel bad that I didn’t get more Kips Bay Decorator Show House posts up before I left town or before it ended.  But in the interest of better late than never, I’m going to try to post a few more rooms this summer. One room that was especially impressive and also full of practical […]

With the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Euro, it’s not easy to find a bargain in Paris.  Although, I look forward to trying when the sales start later this month.  I did however find one amazing bargain in the Palais Royal of all places.   I was cutting through the Passage du Perron […]

I was thinking about how to lighten up my wardrobe for spring while staying warm in the cold weather. Adding white accents to my grey pieces seems to be the ticket. Hopefully this will inspire you as well.  All images via tumblr

The word luxury is bandied about so much that it’s started to lose its meaning.  If there is one house that still typifies the word luxury, it’s Hermès.  It’s also synonymous with quality and craftsmanship.  While the Birkin bag may now be ubiquitous, the clothing will always hold down the fort on quiet yet interesting designs. Hermès unveiled […]

You could tell something was up at the Hugo Boss by Jason Wu show today based on the front row. Diane Kruger, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow (photo by @bagsnob) were just down the row from Gerard Butler and Scott Eastwood.  The clothes that came down the runway won’t just appeal to celebrities though. They […]

I remember seeing this apartment on the cover of the book New Paris Style but didn’t know the designer until today. It is the home of interior designer Florence Baudoux which is a Haussmann apartment of epic proportions. The entire space is painted grey and could be dark if it were not for the tall […]

As soon as the weather turns grey and chilly like today, I start pulling out my grey clothes.  It’s become my go since it’s less harsh than black and is the perfect complement to my hair color. As we know, it’s also a popular choice of paint color and plays well with almost every other […]

Sometimes you run across spaces that aren’t exactly your own personal style but are so full of intriguing details that you can help but be enamored by them.  That’s how I feel about this Paris apartment by Jean Louis Deniot.  I love the marble entry with jib door, the grey and gold color scheme, the […]

I sometimes go to stores not just for shopping but for inspiration.  Often the paint colors and decoration borrow from home design so it makes sense. The new Chloe store in Soho is one of my new inspiring stores.  The pale grey exterior had me at hello but the brass rails, shelves, and light fixtures […]

Today was one of those days that took me in a million different directions.  I swear I’m going to get things together soon but until then, here are a few pics that I have gravitated toward this week. The Carolyne Roehm image above makes me wish I had a dining room so I could set […]

After four days of lovely weather in San Francisco, this grey Monday is a little depressing.  I’m not ready to be back in boots and tights and coats. As I’ve mentioned before, my winter wardrobe consists of various shades of grey.  It looks less harsh than all black but plays nicely with almost all other […]

You really didn’t think I could post about grey and not use that title right?  It rained all day yesterday in New York and this morning is foggy and gross.  Of course that got me thinking about my favorite non-color color, grey.  I love all the shades and how well it pairs with brown and […]

Who says you have to decorate a contemporary building with clean, contemporary furniture?  Certainly not interior designer Alexa Hampton who designed a bedroom in this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House for Mark Hampton LLC that she herself describes as a “study in contrasts.” She also “we wanted to create a room that would be […]
