I’m happy to announce that the Kips Bay Decorator Show House is returning to New York for the first time since 2019. The address at 337 Riverside Drive at West 106th Street which is known as “The River Mansion,” sits on a corner high point beside Riverside Park with incredible views of the Hudson River. The Kips […]

Dorothée Meilichzon’s redesign of Charles de Gaulle airport Terminal 2G was finished almost a year ago. I have only just seen it because flights from JFK land at Terminal 2E and Terminal 2G is the Schengen (Euro Borderless Zone) terminal which means the terminal for flights or connections for Europe. It’s an interesting design. I don’t know […]

If you ever loved any of Lee Radziwill’s homes, now one can be yours. Turville Grange in Henley, England has just gone on the market for 18,750,000 Pounds. She lived in the Grade II listed property from 1966-1974 after which it was sold to Henry Ford II and stayed in the Ford family since. It […]

I took a little trip to Palm Beach this past week to escape the cold but more importantly, visit the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. It runs through March 19, 2023 so you have one more week to see it in person. One of the rooms that I really loved was Primrose Park by St. […]

Remember when I posted about Denbigh Farm being for sale and then the interiors? Well, now you can bid on the furnishings in April at Stair Galleries. “The Collection of Susie Hilfiger at Denbigh Farm represents the life-long interests and connoisseurship of a family whose name is synonymous with style, luxury, and uncompromising taste. Furnished […]

Last week, many of my followers on Instagram were lamenting that a lot hotels in Paris are already booked up for this year. Lucky for all of you, I can announce that the new Château des Fleurs five-star hotel will be opening on 14 April 2023. I don’t think anyone else knows about yet so […]

I started this month’s New and Noteworthy post early in the week but kept coming across new things that I wanted to add to the list. For a month with only 28 days, February to chock full of new openings and releases that you will definitely want to check out. I always joke that I […]

You’d have to be living under a rock or taking a break from social media to not be aware of the hubbub surrounding the New York magazine article, Do You Know How to Behave?, which lists rules on “how to text, tip, ghost, host, and generally exist in polite society today”. Some of their rules […]

Write it Down, Make it Happen used to be an annual New Year’s post based on the book by the same name. I hate looking back and always want to keep moving forward but I read the 2015 blog post and I’m embarrassed to say that a lot of those things did not get accomplished. […]

I could have sworn that the Greenwich Village apartment of Hamish Bowles had already sold but I must have been mistaken since it’s currently making headlines for being on the market for $2.9 Million. Bowles was appointed as editor-in-chief of The World of Interiors magazine but the job is based in London which is why […]

I get the feeling that maybe the very private Deeda Blair probably didn’t want to write a book but I’m very glad that someone talked her into it. And she realized that it was a perfect way to raise money for charity which is where the proceeds are going. There are very few truly elegant […]

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 […]

The foreword of Tiffany’s Table Manners for Teenagers by Walter Hoving says the following. “Good manners are as important as good grooming and good behavior. Unfortunately, however, in this day of confused standards, manners are sometimes sadly neglected. This is especially true of table manners. At Tiffany’s our interest in attractive tables set with good […]

I delayed my October Inspiration post this year because it has still felt a lot like summer lately. I think next week should feel more like October so hopefully this will put you in the mood for pumpkin patches and tweed jackets. Photo by me . Amin Coat and Men’s Shearling Coat Scarf-detailed wool jacket […]

While most interior designers always want to be in the spotlight, I feel like all the landscape designers let their work speak for itself while they stay behind the scenes. That is why it was so lovely to see a feature on Miranda Brooks and her family at their home in the Cotswolds in Vogue. […]

Autumn officially began yesterday evening and the temperature in New York this morning is 51 degrees so fall is really here. I’m excited to wear all the new sweaters I bought so far this season but I definitely need to turn over my closet this weekend. If you need any inspiration to get you into […]

I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track. They’ve already come back but as Americans go back to school and work after this long Labor Day weekend, it’s time to […]
