One of the main reasons I went to Sag Harbor recently was to visit the new Jayson Home pop up shop at 3 Madison Street. The Jayson Home in Chicago is one of my favorite stores and it is such a treat to have them on the East Coast this year. The old whaling and supply store is packed […]

Odd Mom Out at Home

06 . 21 . 16

Jill Kargman is on a media blitz to promote the second season of her television show Odd Mom Out. The show is a little too over the top for me but what I do love is her apartment. Vogue just posted a few photos and the gallery wall of art by iLevel is right up […]

The Row in New York

05 . 23 . 16

While I was in Peru, my friend David Lawrence posted Instagram photos from The Row‘s new store at 17 East 71st Street in New York. Lucky for me, it’s located in my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and I can’t wait to stop by this week. As you know, there is nothing I love more […]

If you’re looking for a last minute Mother’s Day activity, I highly suggest a visit to the new Aquazzura store. The luxury Florence based footwear brand founded by Edgardo Osorio best known for its lace up styles and sexy flats has a new chic home on Madison Avenue designed by Ryan Korban. “My favorite part of […]

Going Gingham

04 . 26 . 16

How cute and chic are these photos of Jenna Lyons? J.Crew challenged her to wear gingham five ways for five days.  The results were photographed in her office, with her son at Morgensterns Ice Cream, her home, on the street, and at The Meadow. At least I think that’s her home.  I’m still wondering which […]

I was going to continue with my white theme today until I was reminded of the colorful apartment of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles while spring cleaning stacks of magazines. It was designed with Studio Peregalli with work by Agencie and was featured in the November 2014 issue of World of Interiors. While located near Washington Square, it looks […]

Colorfully Chic

03 . 27 . 16

I can’t think of a better home to post on Easter than one with bright Easter egg colored rooms. It’s also appropriate since many of the furnishings in Todd Alexander Romano‘s New York apartment are up for auction at Christie’s this week. Romano is best known for mixing periods and styles with great success. “Some of my […]

Rich and Layered

01 . 04 . 16

While many are starting off the new year with clean white spaces, I’m loving this colorful and elegant Upper East Side home of designer Ellen Hanson that was recently featured in Vogue Living. There is something about the color and art that remind me of Steven Gambrel’s old New York townhouse but of course it stands on […]

Christmas in New York

12 . 13 . 15

The recent heat wave has made walking around New York much more enjoyable than usual this December. It has also made photographing the holiday decor a lot easier without frozen fingers. I had the pleasure of having the company of Tommy Smythe on Saturday to instagram all the wonderful decorations in the West Village. Tommy even moved […]

If you happen to be in New York this holiday season,I suggest you make time to stop by the gorgeous new Goop Mrkt Pop Up Shop. I’ve seen her previous pop up shops but they pale in comparison to the “home” that designers Roman & Williams created in the Shops at Columbus Circle. The entirely […]

I can’t believe that in all the years of ordering her rugs and attending events in New York that I had never met designer Madeline Weinrib in person. It was a huge treat to visit with her in her studio and showroom recently, especially since we share a love of travel and flea markets. Although, due […]

I’ve visited Paris in September when it was still summer and also in November when it looked and felt like winter but I’ve never visited Paris in the height of autumn. After my trip last week, I now want to plan a trip for every October. It was even more beautiful than spring. But while they […]

I absolutely love Merchant Ivory films so it’s not surprising that I would love the home that the duo shared in Hudson, New York. They bought the 1805 Federal 19-room home built for Jacob Rutsen Van Rensselaerin 1975 for about $105,000. It’s filled with furniture and mementos from Merchant Ivory films such as Jefferson in Paris and […]

I don’t like to recommend any beauty products or procedures until I’ve tried them myself. Now that I’ve had three Skin Laundry laser and light treatments, I can say that it’s my new favorite skin treatment. And no, this is not a sponsored post.  I honestly love the way my skin looks and wanted to […]

Revisiting Peter Som

08 . 31 . 15

When I was cleaning out stacks of old magazines recently, I tore out a feature on fashion designer Peter Som‘s apartment from years ago.  It got me wondering when we might see it profiled again and funny enough, it was featured on Lonny.com last week.  Turns out that Peter expanded the apartment in the last […]

Chic & Colorful

08 . 24 . 15

I’m not a huge fan of color in my own life but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it, especially when it’s done exceptionally well.  I actually wouldn’t expect anything less from interior designer Alex Papachristidis whose elegant pre-war New York apartment was just featured on One Kings Lane. Alex is also a master at […]

Florence Fancy

08 . 07 . 15

I don’t have children but if I did have little girls, I would definitely dress them in Florence Fancy.  The very chic clothing line was founded by mother of two, Nancy McCormick, who was “inspired by the classic designs of European children’s fashion, craftsmanship, and grace.” I stopped by the Upper East Side boutique and showroom yesterday […]
