Valentine’s Day is three weeks away. Are you ready? If not, I’ve put together some fun gift and outfit ideas for you. I usually hate this Hallmark holiday but I’m trying to embrace it this year. I also wish I was in London so I could visit the new Elan Cafe in Knightsbridge that’s an […]

The first part of New York fashion week highlights younger and emerging designers while the second half of the schedule is dedicated to the larger more established fashion houses. Carolina Herrera, with Wes Gordon at the helm, kicks things off Monday morning at the New York Historical Society. You should be able to watch the […]
Fashion week recently ended in New York for the Fall/Winter 2018 collections. I saw a lot of beautiful color on the runways and some inspiring outfits off the runway. The big street style trends were white pointy toed boots, oversized coats, menswear fabrics and plaid, the color red, and small sunglasses. Another trend that I […]
It snowed a few times in New York last week and now it’s really feeling like Christmas. I love how red pops against the snow so it was the perfect excuse for a color compilation post. Merry Christmas! XOXO, HC Red Textured Leather Tote Wool Blend Midi Dress @leontinelinens @rubyandb Red Leather Shoulder Bag @zoedegivenchy […]
Veranda is one of the only magazines, if not the only one, to feature homes decorated for Christmas each year. I love seeing all the beautiful holiday decor in elegant interiors especially this one by Alidad in London. Of course, it helps to have rich red rooms as a backdrop but amaryllis and fruits would look […]
It’s still hot in New York so it’s not coat weather yet. But I’m of the mindset that if you buy them, it will come. My coat closet is already packed but I can’t help buy at least one new coat each season and I can’t think of a better place to go for coats […]
Fall is my favorite time in New York. The weather finally cools off and there are so many fun fashion and design events on the calendar. That means I’ll need a few new outfits to get me through the season and I can’t think of a better place to start than Halsbrook. They have a […]
It’s officially spring so it’s definitely time to think about your spring wardrobe. There are so many holidays and events coming up like Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day, graduations, and oh, my birthday, that it’s important to plan ahead. Whatever you need, Halsbrook is here to help. They carry so many chic options for day, evening, weekend […]
I heard that Samantha Cameron was working on a fashion line so I was excited to see that the final product is now available online here and here. Cefinn, named for her children, is an affordable collection of pieces that were conceived as stylish workwear but definitely look like they can be worn anywhere. As she […]
Valentine’s Day isn’t a lot of people’s favorite holiday. If you’re dating or married, it’s fraught with unrealistic expectations. If you’re single, it’s lonely and depressing. But it can also be fun to buy yourself, your friends, and your family a sweet treat. In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve put together a few great gifts that […]
Forget about Black Friday. The anxiously awaited Net-a-Porter 50% off sale starts today. There is so much great stuff on sale that you’re bound to find something great for yourself or a gift. I picked out a few chic red pieces that I can add to the sea of grey that dominates my closet like the Maje […]
Victoria Hagan‘s Grand American Salon living room at the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House marks her return to the show house after many years away. It feels like a modern interpretation of her blue and white beach house rooms that is perfect for city life. The inspiration was one of her own Instagram photos […]
According to social media, it seemed like everyone was staying at La Reserve Hotel for fashion week. Just as I put it on my must visit list, I saw that my Instagram friend David Leppan was also staying at the chic hotel. When he suggested tea, I immediately agreed to come to him to check it out. […]
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Christmas. The last time I went all out decorating for the holidays, I was cleaning up pine needles in my apartment for months. So I’ve been thinking about how I can get the look with less mess. My current inspiration is Alessandra Branca‘s dining room that […]
My final show each fashion week is Ralph Lauren. I like to think of it as saving the best for last and it always ends the week on a high note. While the red, white, and blue color palette might seem all American, the lyrics that played while Mr. Lauren took his bow was “I love […]
Interior designer Alessandra Branca loves all colors but she has become most known for her use of red. So much so that when she suggests to show house committees that she’d like to design a different color room, they steer her back to red because it’s what the public wants. And I have a feeling […]
