As much as I love attending runway shows, you often miss the details when the models are wafting past you and the person in front of you is taking pics on their ginormous iPad. So it was lovely to see Oscar de la Renta post a multitude of detail photos of the clothing and accessories from their Spring 2015 […]
As everyone knows, some of the best looks each fashion week aren’t on the runways. The street style looks are also looking much better this season. Maybe it’s because it’s been so hot. I think the weather has also been the reason we’re seeing so much white after Labor Day too. Gotta get it in […]
Fashion designer Adam Lippes presented his Spring 2015 collection in his duplex on Washington Square Park on Saturday. It was the perfect backdrop to his elegant and interesting designs. Too bad all fashion shows aren’t this chic. To view all the Adam Lippes looks for Spring 2015, check out Style.com and to read more about […]

It’s only Day 2 of New York Fashion Week but we’ve already seen a lot of great looks. It’s so hot and steamy in the city right now that I wish I could wear most of them right now. A white dress should be at the top of your shopping list for Spring 2015 but […]
New York Fashion Week kicked off last night with a fete at Gracie Mansion and I noticed a theme among a few of the designers. Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Carolina Herrera all wore grey and white. A great way to transition your white pieces for after Labor Day. I’ll be attending all […]
Today is the day I say au revoir to Paris. Or maybe I should say à bientôt since I will definitely be back again soon. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. I am sad to be living the City of Light but I am also excited to get back to New York. I can’t […]
The Aurelie Bidermann boutique on rue des Saint-Pères is currently closed for vacances along with the rest of Paris. Luckily, I will be able to shop her just opened Soho store once I get back to New York. It will be filled with her signature costume bijoux, as well as her new high jewelry collection. I didn’t […]
Creativity seems to run through all branches of the Coppola family. They collaborate on projects at various times as well. According to a tidbit ion the T magazine blog, Sofia Coppola recently photographed the look book for her cousin-in-law, Amanda Blake’s new line of clothing, Calder, in her own New York apartment. Blake studied at Parsons […]
I was aware of the photographer Vivian Maier because the publisher of my book Habitually Chic: Creativity at Work, powerHouse Books has published two books of her work, Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits and Vivian Maier: Street Photographer. I wasn’t aware that her recognition as a photographer only came posthumously after I saw the trailer for the documentary […]
Usually by this time in New York, i’m totally sick of my summer clothes and ready for fall. Because the weather is so much less hot in Paris, I’m perfectly content with my current wardrobe. Well, that was until I saw the new First Look at Fall feature in the June/July 2014 issue of Harpers’ […]
I had planned another post today but last minute errands and meetings have me tied up. I’m going to work on that one later and instead tell you about a fun new French-American film you must see this weekend. My friend in Paris saw Chinese Puzzle (Casse-tête chinois) when it was released in France […]
The new Sant Ambroeus on Lafayette Street in Soho has been open since January but I finally made it down for lunch today. I got there a little early and had a chance to examine the interior design. I loved everything they chose including the photography, warm wood paneling, burnt orange leather banquettes with brass […]
The weather in New York still isn’t cooperating but at least the city is looking pretty, especially the Upper East Side. In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove; In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. – Alfred Lord Tennyson Flowers by Ariston Florist in the […]
Many of you are celebrating Easter Monday today so I’ve decided to keep with the theme of spring. It was the most beautiful weekend in New York and it seemed like every person in the city was in Central Park on Sunday. Everything is in bloom and putting us all in a good mood after […]
When Chico’s asked me to participate in their Destination Fabulous campaign and create a city guide, I couldn’t imagine how I’d narrow down all the wonderful places I love in New York. So instead, I’ve narrowed my focus down to my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and my 10 favorite places. We joke that […]
It’s been one of those days. Since I didn’t get a regular post up, I’m leaving you with a few shots from my instagram that illustrate that spring has finally sprung in New York. About time too. “Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers.” […]
