Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Christmas. The last time I went all out decorating for the holidays, I was cleaning up pine needles in my apartment for months. So I’ve been thinking about how I can get the look with less mess. My current inspiration is Alessandra Branca‘s dining room that […]
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 […]
I’ve never been to Corsica but the house that Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier of Studio KO designed makes me immediately want to immediately book a trip. That and the fact that it’s cold and grey in New York today. The duo restored the abandoned home and created a perfect holiday house. I especially love the lack of […]
Wishing all of you moms a happy and flower filled Mother’s Day! XOXO, HC Photo by me via Instagram.
Winter is upon us in New York and most of the country. Now comes the task of trying to look cute while staying warm. One of the best places to find everything from sweaters to sequins and everything in between is J.McLaughlin. If you reside on the Upper East Side or near one of their 90 […]
I ordered a few books online and stopped by The Corner Bookstore today to make sure I have enough to read while I’m away for the long holiday weekend. I picked up The Vacationers which already has me hooked but I also purchased Gone Girl so I can read it before the film version is released. After being […]
Wishing all of you back in the US, a very happy Fourth of July! Have a hot dog for me! May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country! – Daniel Webster Cameron Diaz wearing Ralph Lauren in Seveneteen magazine in 1990. Aerin Lauder […]

Fingers crossed that Jet Blue is back up and running for my flight to the Dominican Republic this morning. After dealing the the “polar vortex” of single digit temperatures in New York, 80 degrees is going to feel like a dream. I’ll be meeting up with my friend Abigail at her family’s resort Hotel La […]
I’m on holiday out East this week but I wouldn’t mind spending next August in Marbella, Spain where this beautiful home is located. It was featured in Nuevo Estilo in Spanish so I can’t tell you anything about it but the photos are inspiring without any commentary. Enjoy!
I’m not usually that impressed with the homes that the New York Times features but this 17th-century chateau had me at hello. It was a bit run down when Giuseppe Laviani and his family bought it for $500,000. They put $500,000 worth of renovations into the 9,000 square foot chateau on 20 acres. To a […]
A long holiday weekend in the Hamptons is great until you start seeing everyone’s instagram pics from the Mediterranean. Makes me want to rethink my travel plans for next year. Then I came across the photo above that Minnie Mortimer pinned on Pinterest and found that it was from a house in Anacapri that the […]
Whatever you are doing this long holiday weekend, I hope you are having as much fun as Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon are having in these photos from 1968. They were taken on the yacht of Eric Tabarly and at lunch with famed music producer Eddie Barclay. Don’t they just epitomize effortless chic? Bon weekend! […]
I’m currently trying to figure out how I can spend the whole of August traveling around Provence starting with Domaine de la Baume. The property in Tourtour which opens July 5th used to be the home of expressionist painter Bernard Buffet in the 1950’s. It looks like an absolute oasis to this overworked city girl. A […]
