Tie One On

02 . 12 . 15

Even though it’s still snowing in the Northeast, I’m thinking about what shoes I want to buy for spring.  After I saw Sincerely Jules above in the Aquazzura Christy Leather Point Toe Flats, I knew these might be a contender.  While comfortable to walk in, the ties elevate the flat shoes to something a little more […]

Weekend Chic

11 . 22 . 14

After traveling last week, I am very much looking forward to hibernating at home on Saturday. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look good while doing it. Here’s a few of the things I’ll be wearing and using this weekend. J.McLaughlin Lisbet Fair Isle Sweater – I’m usually not a pattern person but […]

Winter is upon us in New York and most of the country. Now comes the task of trying to look cute while staying warm.  One of the best places to find everything from sweaters to sequins and everything in between is J.McLaughlin.  If you reside on the Upper East Side or near one of their 90 […]

Too Kule for School

11 . 18 . 14

I was very excited to learn from jewelry designer Jennifer Alfano that KULE has opened a pop up shop on the Upper East Side. It’s filled with all their chic pieces including cabled sweaters, great coats, and signature signet rings. It was 20 degrees in New York today so I was too layered up to try anything […]

Chic at Work: Everlane

11 . 17 . 14

I’ve been wearing Everlane since 2012 so when I was in San Francisco, I couldn’t wait to pay a visit to their office to see where the magic happens. For those of you not familiar with them, Everlane is billed as “luxury essentials without traditional retail markeups.” It was founded by Michael Preysman who decided to rethink […]

When everyone found out I was visiting San Francisco, they all suggested I should visit the store MARCH on Sacramento Street. They are known for their very chic selection of products that include tabletop pieces, cookware, furniture, art, and even some clothing. They are very particular about photos but allowed me to take some to share […]

Speaking of the holidays. I was excited to be asked to curate a holiday gift guide for One Kings Lane that includes lots of chic gift ideas for your friends and family, as well as yourself.  It also includes a few of my gift giving tips to help you navigate what to get for everyone […]

I usually prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving to start thinking about Christmas but retailers won’t let me.  So in the spirit of “if you can’t beat them, join them” I give you some looks from the J.Crew December Style Guide.  The cute family photos shot in Norway actually make me excited for winter and […]

Even though it’s supposed to be 90 degrees in New York tomorrow, I’m shopping the fall collection that just debuted on Emerson Fry. It’s filled with cozy sweaters and chic coats as well a few pairs of lust worthy shoes and boots. Just as lovely as the clothes is the home in which they shoot […]

London Calling

07 . 29 . 14

I’m currently in London for a few days to meet up with my friend who’s in town from New York.  The city seems a little less hectic than it did when I was here last November. We’ve had great luck with the weather and played tourist in between shopping and eating.  Great restaurants to try […]

Really Liking Repossi

07 . 19 . 14

It’s a little hard to get excited about shopping when it’s hot outside but the new fall 2014 campaigns are certainly inspiring. I love the new Repossi jewelry ads that Gaia Repossi just posted on her instagram account. The no make up look is very French and also reminiscent of how Gaia looks in real […]

While the sales are going on now in Paris, it’s only a twice a year occurrence.  I miss regular mark downs and deals.  Good thing I can shop online at places like Nordstrom Rack where new styles are added each day and are up to 70% off. I can also shop in my pajamas in […]

This has been a bit of a crazy week of juggling work responsibilities with social events. It started with a little visit to the Musée Rodin (above) which is within walking distance from my new apartment.  I’ll have more on this soon. The big sales started this Wednesday and I’ve shopped a little at Le Bon Marché.  They […]

It’s always nice when new sponsors tell me what an impact an ad has on the traffic to their website. It’s even better when they offer HC readers a special discount to make a purchase.   To give you a little background, designer Cynthia Gale set out to create exquisite, high quality sterling silver jewelry […]

Club Hamptons

06 . 24 . 14

I like the fashions at Club Monaco but ever since they updated the design of the stores, I go just as much for interior inspiration as I do to shop for clothes.  Now they have combined the best of both worlds with their new pop up home shop in Southampton. There is a mix of […]

A New Chance

06 . 08 . 14

The Chance Co. summer preview was the morning of my flight to Paris so I couldn’t attend.  It looks great in the photos they send so I’m sure it was even better in person.  Founder Julia Leach was inspired this season by the beauty of Sweden and has added a little pattern to her repertoire […]

Beautiful Bijoux

06 . 07 . 14

With the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Euro, it’s not easy to find a bargain in Paris.  Although, I look forward to trying when the sales start later this month.  I did however find one amazing bargain in the Palais Royal of all places.   I was cutting through the Passage du Perron […]
