Today has been one of those days. I’ve been running around taking care of last minute things for Paris like highlights with Marie Robinson and picking up my tailoring. I’m also dealing with last minute work projects. So much for telling people a month in advance of your travel plans. I promise a long post […]
I’m headed to Paris on Wednesday for fashion week and I’m praying the snow that’s due Tuesday doesn’t delay my flight. I can’t wait to get out of this arctic tundra. The 50 degree temperatures will feel like summer compared to the 20’s we’ve had in New York for the last two months. I’m not […]
Farrow & Ball has just launched a collection of wallpapers inspired by 19th and 20th-century French archive fashion fabrics. To celebrate, they asked me t curate a palette of Farrow & Ball paint colors and wallpapers inspired by my favorite city in the world. I chose Hague Blue because it looks like the color of blue doors, […]
Men’s fashion week has been taking place the last few weeks in Europe. The Fashion Director of Esquire magazine, Nick Sullivan, has been making the rounds and also posting some fun “double take” photos on Instagram. Not sure if they are taken at the time or combined in PhotoShop but the photos combine an […]
Even though it feels like I just got back from my summer sojourn in Paris, I’m already planning for my next trip. Michelle Adams and I will be in the City of Light for Paris Fashion Week in March with lots of big adventures on the docket. I can’t wait to attend chic fashion shows, […]
I felt so sad and guilty last week to be heading to a sunny destination when so much was going on in Paris last week. Everyone in the city was on my mind including those I got to know while living in the city of light this summer including Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami. […]
It’s no surprise that Jacques Grange is such an amazing interior designer when you find out that he learned the ropes from legendary French designer Henri Samuel. The photos here of just one room in Samuel’s Paris apartment in a hotel particulier on rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré illustrate the way he perfectly combined antiques with modern pieces to create a […]
After trying to make it to every museum in Paris this summer, I realized that there are a few museums I still haven’t visited in New York. One of the first I am headed is The Jewish Museum to see the new exhibition Helena Rubinstein: Beauty is Power exhibition. It is the first exhibition to […]
The Musée Picasso in Paris has finally reopened after being closed for renovations for five years. It was supposed to reopen in June but it was so mired in scandal and controversy that it was delayed until Pablo Picasso’s birthdate of October 25th. The museum is located in the Marais in the Hôtel Salé, described as the grandest 17th-century hôtel […]
My first thought when I heard that the English fashion designer Peter Copping was named the new creative director of Oscar de la Renta was, I wonder what will happen to his amazing Instagram account. Peter has been based in Paris as the artistic director of Nina Ricci where he posts gorgeous flowers from Rambert […]
I wish I was revisiting Paris in person but I’m only revisiting the architecture online. While I don’t love everything about this apartment in the 9th arrondissement by Double G, I do love the boiseries, herringbone floors, and fireplaces, especially the one in the bathroom. But when I was living in Paris, I heard that […]
This fashion month might be the best yet for street style. There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]
In honor of Paris Fashion Week and in anticipation of the Hotel Ritz reopening next year, I thought I would post these chic photos of Kate Moss taken before the closure by Tim Walker for Vogue. Everyone is hoping that they haven’t ruined the iconic design so it will be interesting to see how Thierry W. […]
Fashion week has begun in Paris and all the Instagram photos have me slightly regretting not returning to the City of Light to attend. Although, I’m sure my Air France flight would have been cancelled so it’s probably for the best. When I do go back, the first place on my must visit list is Le […]
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 […]
I stopped by my friend Eleanor’s today to leave a few things and say goodbye. (That’s her above) I can’t believe it was exactly three months ago that I landed on her doorstep. Without her generosity, guidance, hospitality, and occasional shoulder to cry on, this trip would not have been possible. What’s even more amazing […]
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 […]
