“In all of our projects”, says interior designer Timothy Corrigan, “we strive to create spaces that are comfortably elegant: where people feel that they are someplace special, while simultaneously feeling completely at ease. To that end, outdoor fabrics were used on the upholstered seating, along with a stain-resistant hide rug, to live up to the […]

My friend Matt Albiani attended an estate sale in East Hampton this weekend just a stone’s throw away from Grey Gardens which he posted on his Mate Gallery Instagram account. Lucky for me and you, he shared the real estate listing for 15 West End Road. It appears to be under contract and I pray […]

There are fewer and fewer designers and collectors left with impeccable taste and Jacques Garcia is one of them. Even if you don’t know his name, you’ve probably seen his work at some well known hotels in Paris, Hôtel Costes, La Reserve, L’Hôtel, and La Mamounia, and his work on historic rooms in the Louvre […]

I’m headed to Paris tonight (I’ll already have arrived by the time those of you with the email subscription read this post) and I can’t wait to get back to my favorite city. I spent a month there last spring to celebrate my birthday but this trip will only be two weeks. I’m extra excited […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
