If you asked me before for my favorite town in the Hamptons, I would have said Southampton without missing a beat. It’s pretty and perfectly manicured and has lots of cute stores but this weekend, I finally succumbed to the charms of Sag Harbor. It has such a quaint Main Street, USA feeling that I […]

After you visit Ruby Beets, make sure you head next door to JED. I could have also bought everything in this chic shop. It’s a mix of French antiques and new pieces that all have a certain je ne sais quoi. While some pieces were expensive, those two chairs out front were only $450 for […]

This weekend, I spent visiting all my favorite stores in Sag Harbor which included Ruby Beets, a favorite of almost every designer. It’s a small space but it’s packed to the rafters with new and antique treasures. I especially loved all the lamps and photographs of sea and sky by Mary Ellen Bartley but in […]

I’m off to the Hamptons this weekend and you know this trip wasn’t without some serious outfit consideration. While the city calls for sophisticated ensembles for meetings and business, the Hamptons allows me to get my Prep on. It’s also about 10 degrees cooler which requires layers which is why I pulled out my navy […]

When I posted about Helen and Tim Schifter’s fabulous Hamptons Hideaway in January, I mentioned wanting to see more photos and I’m happy to have finally found some! The photo above is a look at their living room which I was missing before and there’s even a view of the pool now. I’m going to […]

We are having the most glorious weather today and it makes me want to take off for the Hamptons. But since I have too many projects, appointments, parties, and work, I will have to make due with drooling over Christina and Chris Cuomo’s humble abode that was decorated by designer Emma Jane Pilkington. It was […]

A Fashionable Life is my favorite feature in Harper’s Bazaar but since they are a fashion magazine and not a shelter magazine, the actual home photos tend to be a little on the small side. They also don’t publish all the rooms or show enough details to satisfy my curiosity. One home that I hope […]

One of the most famous holiday spreads has to be Aerin Lauder’s East Hampton house from the December 2007 issue of House & Garden magazine. I have been seeing a lot of blue backdrops to holiday decorations this year and it had me thinking about Lauder’s blue dining room. The table was beautifully set for […]

I’m off to check out the Hampton Designer Showhouse today with my friend and fellow designer Kevin Isbell. Be sure to check back later for the full scoop!

A big thank you goes out to Charlotte Moss for including me in her Dispatches from the Blogosphere: Tips for a Stylish Summer post on her blog Tete-a-Tete! Check it out and you can read what I’m wearing, reading, eating and doing this summer! Oh, and those are my photos from the Hamptons. Wish I […]

While I was looking through designer Meg Braff‘s portfolio, I came across the most perfect East Hampton home. I love the patterns and shades of blue she used throughout all the spaces. The mudroom is my favorite room and pretty much sums up the feeling of this chic weekend home. I can also imagine how […]

It was freezing today in New York it had me wishing for warmer weather so what better time to showcase the fun Hampton house of Allison Julius and Louis Marra, the fabulous sibling owners of Maison 24. They both used to work for Jonathan Adler and you can definitely see his influence in the photos […]

I work on a lot of very expensive homes at work but they have nothing on this cute little beach cottage in the Hamptons owned by Lezlie Klotz. It was featured in the July 2008 issue of House Beautiful magazine and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it since it’s exactly […]

Unlike most Americans, I will be laboring over the long Labor Day holiday weekend. I have a lot of irons in the fire so I need do some work and get myself organized. I’m a little bummed but I knew that forgoing vacations this summer might be necessary and if all goes well, I will […]

I wish this was my house and my car and more importantly I wish I was there right now! Photo by George Ross for Hamptons Cottages and Gardens

Let the countdown begin! Season 2 of Gossip Girl begins on September 1st with a little fun in the sun of The Hamptons. Too bad they aren’t actually filming in The Hamptons since I will be there Thursday and Friday for an installation. It would have been fun to report back some Blair and Serena […]
