Every since I first heard Julia Amory mention that her house was being photographed for Veranda, I’ve been waiting to see the feature and it’s finally here. The July/August 2023 issue of Veranda not only includes her Southampton house but also Palm Beach photographed by Nick Mele which you can see online. I especially love […]

In addition to more flat lay outfits and color compilation posts, I’ve also had a request to bring back more bon weekend compilation posts. These are posts that incorporate disparate recommendations and events that don’t warrant a full blog post. I’m not sure I’ll do them every week but instead when I have a few […]

A little tidbit in WWD caught my attention last week.  It announced that Carolina Irving had just been named creative director of home for Oscar de la Renta. Carolina will oversee the in-house home collection as well as those for Lee Jofa, Century Furniture, and Elson & Company. She will replace former creative director Miles […]

The absolutely pinch me moment on Friday was being invited to Aerin Lauder‘s house in the Hamptons for lunch and an afternoon of beauty treatments and other activities.  As long time readers will know, I’ve posted photos of the house before (you can see them here) so it was an absolute treat to be able to […]

I remember speaking with someone last year about Aerin Lauder‘s line for Lee Jofa and today I saw the final amazing result.  It makes me wish I worked on more design projects because I could scheme them, along with her carpets and home accessories a million different ways from Sunday.  The fabric designs also grace […]

My favorite events each year are those that benefit charity and partner with designers.  They always seem to bring out the most creativity and this year’s DIFFA Dining by Design was no exception.  I just realized that I’ve been covering DBD as they call it since 2009 and each year, the tables just keep getting […]

There is no greater excitement than finding out that someone whom you admire reads your blog.  Even more exciting is having the opportunity to interview them.  Last Thursday, I headed over to The Fuller Building to meet Aerin Lauder to discuss all the exciting things she is working on for her new company AERIN.  She […]

Since there were so many lovely tables and I took so many photos, I’m going to split by DIFFA Dining by Design coverage up into a few posts.  Since it’s spring and the Architectural Digest table is full of flowers, I thought I would begin with them. The chairs are from Restoration Hardware and the […]

Chic Ship Interiors

02 . 14 . 11

A few readers commented that they were impressed by the decor of our room on the Marina.  They weren’t expecting it to look so nice.  If you thought that was impressive, wait until you see the public areas and restaurants.  Oceania Cruises bills themself as mid-luxury but after to speaking with the designers, it was clear […]

I had a very busy day yesterday which also included a meeting at the D&D Building.  While I was there, I decided to see if the Oscar de la Renta room was finished at the Lee Jofa showroom.  Every season Lee Jofa installs a fabulous room devoted to one of their fabric designers.  I wasn’t sure […]

If you are a regular reader, then you know how much I love it when fashion and design collide and I can’t think of a more perfect marriage than Oscar de la Renta and Lee Jofa. I had the pleasure of attending the Elle Decor sponsored launch party last evening at the Oscar de la […]

Oscar at Home

05 . 03 . 10

The garden photo from my last post was from Annette and Oscar de la Renta’s garden in Connecticut. I thought maybe you would like to see some of the rest of the garden and house as well. It’s no wonder that Oscar is highly creative fashion designer with a place like this to recharge his […]

A Tale of Two Homes

09 . 03 . 08

I had never heard of Stephen Elrod, the Creative Director of Lee Jofa, until recently but then he seemed to be popping up everywhere! His beach house was featured in the June/July 2008 issue of Domino and then his New York apartment was published in the September 2008 issue of Traditional Home. I have been […]
