Every time I visit Paris, I tell myself that this is the trip that I’m going to take the train to Belgium but I’ve still yet to make the trip. If there was a chance of visiting Dries Van Noten‘s gorgeous home in Lier, I’m sure I find a way to motivate myself. The Neoclassical house he shares with […]

Although I had an amazing trip to California, more on that later, I am very excited for my upcoming trip to Paris in two weeks.  While this apartment in Lyon and not Paris, it still has that quintessential French feel that includes tall windows, boiseries, and beautiful wood floors. It is the home of designers Pierre Emmanuel Martin […]

Designer Adam Lippes always presents his latest fashion collection in his Washington Square home where the beautiful interiors are the perfect backdrop to his gorgeous clothes. But it was the over the top “tropical Victorian” floral arrangement by Putnam Flowers that almost stole the show. They could not have been a better foil for the arctic […]

I’m headed to Paris again this March for fashion week and will once again be renting an apartment from Haven in Paris.  I usually stay in Saint Germain but I’m excited to be staying on the Place des Vosges in the Marais this year for a change of pace. While this is not the apartment […]

I was reading something online that declared the last Monday in January to be the most depressing day of the year. It seemed a little silly until I woke up to discover four foot snow drifts and slush piles on every corner. If you are feeling blue, here are some images that might actually cheer […]

If you’re still trapped at home due to the blizzard and have already exhausted all your usual online shopping sites, I suggest you check out Any Spade’s auction on Paddle8. He and Kate have sold their Southampton home and have decided to sell some of the contents instead of storing them. “I don’t like not […]

I came across the photo above on Pinterest and immediately wanted to see more of this home. Turns out it belongs to former model and stylist Malin Persson and her family and was featured on The Way We Play. They had been living in Rome for many years when she and her husband Damiano decided to […]

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is the title of a 1974 movie staring Ellen Burstyn who plans to travel from New Mexico to California with her son to live. She never makes it but my dear friend Alice Ryan Miller and her family have successfully made the move from New York to Montecito, California. It was the […]

Usually this time of year is pretty quiet but it just got very exciting for my dear friend Michelle Adams. Her gorgeous home in Ann Arbor, Michigan is featured in the new February issue of House Beautiful. Many of us dream of getting out of the rat race in New York but Michelle actually made the […]

Sorry for the radio silence. I’ve took a few days off to enjoy the holidays. While I usually leave up my decorations until New Year’s Day, I felt like putting them away the day after Christmas.  Perhaps the warmer weather is to blame or just the urge to declutter before it’s time to get back […]

Nothing could ever deter me from visiting Paris so I’m already planning my next trip to the City of Light for fashion week in March 2016. I’ll probably rent an apartment with friends again but if I wasn’t, I would definitely consider the Hotel Providence from Pierre Moussié. I appreciate traditionally decorated hotels in Paris and this […]

There is a definite chill in the air now so it’s time to start thinking about decorating your home for the cold winter months.  One way to warm up your home is to cover your bare floors with beautiful soft rugs. And lucky for you, Doris Leslie Blau is offering 50% off hundreds of styles […]

Not everyone was a fan of Luis Laplace‘s Paris home yesterday but I have a feeling everyone will love weekend home in Southern France that he shares with his partner in life and business, Christophe Comoy. It’s also no wonder that the half-French Chloe Malle was the one to write the story for Vogue where […]

I first learned of French architect Paris-based architect Luis Laplace and his partner Christophe Comoy recently in Vogue. More on that later. But then I found their Paris apartment online and fell in love. As with any designer’s home, it is a place for trying out new ideas and is ever changing especially since it also […]

I’ve always admired Carolyne Roehm‘s life and style but I admire it even more after reading her recently One Kings Lane profile. While her life may seem perfect, she’s endured a very public divorce and had her beloved house Weatherstone burn to the ground after an electrical fire. Both have risen like a Phoenix out […]

I never tire of seeing the house that Sara Ruffin Costello and her family moved to in New Orleans from New York. Part of the reason is that every Manhattanite dreams of leaving the cramped confines of the city for more space and the other is her great design sense. The house looks more collected […]

I was very excited that my trip to Paris coincided with the opening of the Gabriel et Guillaume pop up shop. My friend Guillaume Excoffier had a very chic shop on rue Bonaparte but has decided to close it to focus on various pop up shops around the world with Nancy Gabriel. This particular one […]
