The highlight of my recent trip to California was visiting Montecito. It’s an idyllic town in Santa Barbara where a few people I know live. They say once you visit Montecito, you will buy a house there and will I am not sure about the three month deadline, I could definitely see myself living there […]

After a warehouse move and a brief hiatus, Emerson Fry is back with a new light and breezy collection for Spring/Summer 2016. The pieces are mostly white, black, and nude with a little pattern thrown into the mix. It’s making me want to plan another warm weather trip and it will probably make you want […]

I feel like I packed better for my trip to California last week than I have for past trips but I still get nervous about what to wear in Los Angeles. It’s much more casual than New York and encompasses lots of layers. The temperature was in the 60’s when I arrived which prompted everyone […]

One of the first placesI went shopping in Los Angeles last week was the boutique Violet Grey. The Melrose Place mecca for carefully curated beauty products did not disappoint. I saw a lot of things I already use which was gratifying like the Chanel Sublimage line which I swear is the key to surviving long plane […]

While I was in Montecito last weekend, designer Kendall Conrad was insistent that I visit Miri Mara Ceramics. After seeing the unique shapes, textures, and colors of their pieces, I can see why.  Owner Fatmir “Miri” Mara was a fashion designer in Milan for almost 20 years before he and his husband decided to retire to Santa Barbara. […]

There are so many wonderful stores in the Montecito Country Mart such Kendall Conrad, Merci to Go, and Hudson Grace, but I was most excited to finally see my friend Matt Albiani’s Mate Gallery. The nautical themed jewel box is filled to the brim with seascapes, first edition books, knick knacks, clothing, and more. It’s […]

I happened to stop into the uptown Madewell store yesterday after a meeting and fell in love with these two tone d’orsay Lydia Flats. They would be perfect for my trip to California next week. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in the store so I have to pick them up downtown this weekend. They […]

The sun is shining and the snow is melting. Perfect time for J.Crew to launch their new line of sunglasses. There are six different frame styles for women and three for men ranging in price from $98 to $128. A perfect little present to buy yourself to get through the end of winter.

I realized recently that I’ve been wearing the same style jeans for the last few years.  It’s definitely time to branch out and add some new styles to my closet. I can’t think of anyone better to look to for inspiration other than Vogue Paris editor in chief, Emmanuelle Alt. She’s photographed outside the fashion […]

I’ve professed my love for Everlane over the years and now there are more reasons to love the online retailer. Today they have just launched Everlane Mini, a chic and simple collection for the little people in your life. The 11-piece collection includes similar essentials favorited by adults including classic striped tees, cashmere sweaters, and knit accessories without […]

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 […]

While I have been buying Christmas presents for others, I’ve also been buying myself a few things. The sales have been so great that it was hard not to take advantage of them. After a few deliveries arrived yesterday, I realized that most of what I’ve bought is grey.  It’s my go to color for […]

I’ve honestly been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of holiday shopping emails that have clogged my inbox the last few days. That’s why I’m doing all my gift shopping online at Nordstrom. You can find everything you need for your entire family in one place with free shipping and returns. You can even buy online […]

Holiday events start right after the Thanksgiving holiday for me so this weekend I’m laying out some of my looks.There is nothing worse than getting ready for a party and realizing you are missing a key element. My new go to dress this season is this black and gold J. McLaughlin Kaya Swing Dress. It’s […]

I keep telling myself that I’m not allowed to buy any more coats since I can’t get even one more into my coat closet. But that was before I learned that Emerson Fry was offering 40% off their coats as part of their moving sale. Now I might buy one of each. If you want […]

I was very excited that my trip to Paris coincided with the opening of the Gabriel et Guillaume pop up shop. My friend Guillaume Excoffier had a very chic shop on rue Bonaparte but has decided to close it to focus on various pop up shops around the world with Nancy Gabriel. This particular one […]

I’m long over due for a trip to Los Angeles and now I have another reason to book a ticket.  The Apartment by The Line has just opened on the iconic tree lined Melrose Place. Co-founder and executive creative director Vanessa Traina Snow and creative director Melanie Glass have created a home like space that will evolve on a […]
