Christie’s auction house was kind enough to as me to be their Arbiter of Style this month. I chose my favorite pieces from the upcoming Interiors Sale, taking place June 18 and 19 in New York, including this gorgeous painting Anemones with Red Cloth above by artist Nell Blaine. I also answered some fun questions you […]
Interior designer Alexa Hampton is someone who is as comfortable talking about Corinthian columns and classic architecture as she is RevitaLash and hair care, and that’s why I love her. In an industry that sometimes takes itself too seriously, she is a breath of fresh air and one of the funniest people I know. Alexa’s […]
Sometimes I get annoyed with bloggers who post all their instragram photos on their blog since most of the time I’ve already seen them. I try not to do it myself but I know some of you don’t follow me and therefore you are missing out on my photos of springtime in New York. It […]
After you have have your spring skirt situation taken care of, it’s a good time to think about shoes. Actually, I’m always thinking about shoes. Shoes transport you: from the cobblestone streets of SoHo to the cafes and canals of Venice, comfortable, chic, shoes allow us to explore fashion and culture. With this in mind, […]
Speaking of skirts, I had my eye on the Chloe Inverted Pleat Skirt (on the left) at Barneys for a while. But $850 seemed a bit much to spend on a tan skirt that I would probably drop gelato down the front of on the first warm day of spring. (Have I mentioned there is a […]
Sorry for the lack of posts the last two days. This has been a weird week. I have a million things to write about but just haven’t felt inspired. I am also dealing with tax time. Although I’m more organized than I was last year, I still have a few things to finish up before […]
I sometimes go to stores not just for shopping but for inspiration. Often the paint colors and decoration borrow from home design so it makes sense. The new Chloe store in Soho is one of my new inspiring stores. The pale grey exterior had me at hello but the brass rails, shelves, and light fixtures […]
Big thanks to my style and business idol Aerin Lauder for including me on her list of twitter accounts to follow during fashion week! I love being sandwiched between NY1 Weather, very important to follow when getting dressed each day, and legendary fashion designer Michael Kors.

Before you head over to Circolo on Bond Street, make sure you stop into Paula Rubenstein‘s new venue. You may remember her old legendary shop on Prince Street. It was so jammed packed with treasures that I thought I was going to break something every time I entered. When the landlord tripled her rent, she quietly […]
While cleaning out some magazines as part of my New Year’s resolution to be more organized, I came across this fabulous home. It’s owned by Harry Slatkin and his family and was featured in the August 2012 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. You may know them from their fabulous candle company but Harry is also one […]

I had to go to multiple stores yesterday to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal with the December WSJ Magazine insert. If you missed it yesterday, you can luckily read all the stories online. You should definitely read All the Pretty Houses about designer Daniel Romualdez and his gorgeous homes seen here and […]
You’d think I’d have gotten more posts up this week considering how much time I’ve spent at home because of the hurricane. The truth is that it’s hard to focus and pull away from the news coverage. The city looks like something out of a movie and everyone outside seems dazed and confused. Poor Staten […]
Thank you to everyone who checked in with me yesterday and this morning. I live on the Upper East Side and did not lose power or experience flooding. The wind was intense though and the tree on my street was not so lucky. There were some rumors that all of New York lost power. ConEd […]
I’ve always been obsessed with workspaces which is why it’s the topic of my book. One person I wish I had been able to feature is Reed Krakoff. His office for his eponymous company is beyond chic. He had a little help from his wife Delphine who is an interior designer but we all know […]
You really didn’t think I could post about grey and not use that title right? It rained all day yesterday in New York and this morning is foggy and gross. Of course that got me thinking about my favorite non-color color, grey. I love all the shades and how well it pairs with brown and […]
If you happen to be fall shopping on Madison Avenue this weekend, do stop by and see the new Mrs. John L. Strong petite boutique. I call many things a jewel box but this space truly is a jewel box. It took more than a year for all the details to come together but it […]
