My friend Chris Black posted a link to a fun tumblr this morning, Old Ralph Lauren Adverts. It’s a walk down memory lane of all the vintage styles of Ralph Lauren and their “aspirational” images. Except for a few oversized styles from the 1980’s, everything looks like something you could wear today. A testament to […]
The other thing I need to buy for spring are new jeans. I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Herman Bishop, one of the founders of Jean Stories, at a dinner in Paris. She gave me a few suggestions for new styles that I look forward to trying now that I no longer have to […]
I had the pleasure of dining at The Polo Bar which is connected to the new Polo Ralph Lauren store on Fifth Avenue last evening. The food was fabulous and the interior was as chic as expected, if not better. While I loved all the equestrian paintings and polo memorabilia, it was the green tile […]
I know many of you will be visiting New York for the holidays so make sure you add The Polo Bar at Ralph Lauren to your must visit list. It doesn’t open until next week but if it’s anything like the Ralph Lauren restaurants in Chicago and Paris, it will be a hit. The New York […]
I mentioned Ralph’s Coffee last week but thought you might want to see a few photos. The new cafe is located on the second floor of the new Polo Ralph Lauren store on Fifth Avenue and it’s worth the trek. You can eat in their chic seating area or get something to go after shopping […]
They save the best for the last day of fashion week and that includes the Ralph Lauren runway show. It never disappoints, but then again, nothing that Ralph Lauren does ever disappoints. He hosted a very chic and unique party in Central Park on Wednesday to launch his new Polo Ralph Lauren for women collection […]
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 […]
Speaking of Ralph Lauren, his lovely wife Ricky has the perfect book for summer, The Hamptons: Food, Family, and History. It’s broken up into four chapters based on the towns in the Hamptons they have had homes: Southampton, Amagansett, East Hampton, and Montauk. It’s filled with sweet family photos from the 1970’s, wonderful recipes, and […]
Since there were so many lovely tables and I took so many photos, I’m going to split by DIFFA Dining by Design coverage up into a few posts. Since it’s spring and the Architectural Digest table is full of flowers, I thought I would begin with them. The chairs are from Restoration Hardware and the […]
It’s always fun to see a home featured in a magazine in which you’ve actually seen in person. I was lucky enough to be invited to a charity event that was held in the home of Alfredo Parades and Brad Goldfarb that is the cover story for the April issue of Architectural Digest. Many people […]
I figured I might as well make this day all about the boys. The Ralph Lauren men’s mansion also had some pretty chic holiday windows. So chic in fact that they make me want to crawl into them and start living that life. I especially love the window with ski lift chair. What will they […]
Bergdorf Goodman is probably the most popular destination for holiday windows each season but there are also other very beautiful and creative displays around the city. The Ralph Lauren shop windows on Madison Avenue are always a treat, especially the children’s boutique. They look adorable and the props they include always amaze me. There are […]
As you know, I’m a very busy person but when I’m asked to do something for a good case, I definitely make time. Ralph Lauren and Paperless Post have collaborated on the first ever Pink Pony Hope Card Line and I was honored that they asked me to create a card. The other card creators include […]
I attended my first ever Ralph Lauren fashion show today and I can tell you that it was even more magical than I imagined. I was wondering why Ralph Lauren holds their show at Skylight Studios all the way downtown. When I walked inside, the answer was clear. Every detail from the sisal carpet to the […]
I have appointments and client shopping to do today but I hope I can make it home by 4:00pm to watch Oprah. She’ll be interviewing Ralph Lauren at his Double RL ranch in Telluride, Colorado, pictured here. Apparently, it’s his first television interview in 20 years and quite a coup for Oprah’s final season. Enjoy! […]
One of the other Ralph Lauren Home rooms in the ladies mansion was devoted to a more modern, masculine and metropolitan design aesthetic. That is the reason why I chose to post the photos separately. It reminds me of Ralph’s own Manhattan apartment and his car collection with very sleek lines and shiny surfaces. It […]
I had intended to post these photos of the new spring Ralph Lauren Home rooms at the Ladies Mansion yesterday but my computer had other ideas. It actually worked out perfectly because now I can not only post photos of the gorgeous rooms but tell you about the chic soiree I attended there last night. […]
