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 a time […]
I’ve written about my Instagram friend Remy Renzullo before and he’s a name you will no doubt be seeing much more of in the future. His New York apartment, which he’s since moved out of, was featured in Architectural Digest last year and his London cottage has recently been published in House and Garden UK. […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think the mark of a great designer is someone who can make me like a design style that is not my personal favorite. Interior designer Martin Brûlé has created the chicest Art Deco abode in a building that did not have many redeeming interior architectural […]
I can’t believe it’s October already. As sad as I am to wish away this year, the closer we get to 2021 makes me happy. This has been a rough year and every time I think it can’t get any worse, something manages to surprise me. On the bright side, the cooler and drier air […]
Unlike last year when I was sweating on the first day of autumn, we are enjoying some beautiful crisp blue sky fall weather this year. It’s been so nice to actually be able wear cashmere sweaters and jeans with a jacket. I hope you enjoy this autumn inspiration no matter what your weather. Via Ralph […]
La Rentrée or the reentry period after summer is my favorite time of year because it means that life begins again in earnest in New York. Usually, fashion week kicks off with big events and then the fashion shows start. In the following weeks, there are press previews, lunches, design events, cocktail parties, art exhibitions, […]
It’s always around the end of July that I start to get sick of my colorful summer clothes and begin to reach for neutrals. It’s also around this time that I try to take advantage of the final days of sale season. There are still a a lot of good pieces left this year. I’ve […]
I still have yet to see Knives Out but I want to go more than ever just to see Chris Evans in the sweater that has the internet all a twitter. The Knives Out costume designer Jenny Eagan told The Hollywood Reporter that she doesn’t remember the brand of the frayed Aran cable knit sweater because the piece […]
October is one of the prettiest times in New York. Well, not right now because it’s wet and cold. But hopefully soon the leaves will change and pumpkins will be put out on stoops and all will be right with the world.

I’ll admit that it felt like this summer flew by but I’m still very ready for la rentrée, which is what the French call the reentry after their August holidays. I can’t wait for sweater weather, leaf peeping, and fall events like the Lee Radziwill auction at Christie’s in October. If you’re not excited for […]
Every year, I eagerly await the first pre-fall collection from Sézane and it’s finally launched today. I don’t think the styling and photos are as beautiful or inspiring as they were last year but the collection is still filled with wonderful pieces to add to your autumn wardrobe. Happy September! XOXO, HC Johnson Coat and […]
Sale season has come to an end on Net-a-Porter but luckily there are still some wonderful pieces to be found at other retailers. I’ve put together some of my favorites sale selections that are perfect for transitioning to fall like the double-breasted wool trench coat above that is half off. As you know, I’m a […]
The days are getting shorter and the light is getting lower. That means I’m ready to shift my colorful summer wardrobe into neutral. That means an excuse for a color compilation post. Enjoy.

I used to visit Maine in the summer when I first moved to New York but I’m well overdue for a trip now. It’s a popular destination for those looking for relief from the heat in beautiful natural surroundings so it’s no wonder that Gil Schafer fell in love with the Pine Tree State growing […]
I apologize for the decrease in posts over the last week. As much as I enjoy travel, it’s been wiping me out lately. I don’t have another trip scheduled for two weeks so I plan to spend that time editing photos and writing lots of new posts. I’m hoping to post over this weekend to […]
After the over the top monstrosities of the Met Gala yesterday, I think it’s time for a palette cleanser. I can’t think of a better refresh than with the “Room of her Own” designed by Sarah Bartholomew for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House this year. It’s a calm and soothing respite from the craziness […]
