The weather was absolutely beautiful in Paris today so I decided to explore Le Marais. During my walk, I stopped by the holy grail of bookstores, Comptoir de L’Image. The petite space is packed with vintage books and magazines from every decade. It is popular with fashion designers like Marc Jacobs and every blogger known […]
I know I said I’d post what I was packing for Paris and I swear I’ll try to get to it soon. I feel a little out of sorts living in my friend’s apartment. Hopefully, I will get on a good schedule once I get my own place. I’m taking these first two weeks as […]
One of the reasons I planned my move date to Paris in mid May was so I could shop the Brocante de la rue de Bretagne in the Marais this weekend. I stumbled across it last June and also planned my November trip around it too. These photos are from that visit. While the puces […]
The Serena & Lily store in the Hamptons was a huge hit and I have no doubt that the new San Francisco store will be too from the few photos I saw on their Instagram feed. Their artwork selection is legendary and those Cooper Leather Stools above need to be in all our homes. Check them […]
Spring is the perfect time for cleaning out your closet and doing a little shopping. A great place to start is ShopHers, a fabulous online shopping and selling site dedicated to pre-owned designer fashions. Anyone can sell items on ShopHers and they even offer a VIP experience where you can send your pieces to ShopHers […]
Everyday I’m surprised that some big brands aren’t on Instagram. But I’m also sometimes blown away by a small store or company that does it right. In the case of Love the Design, their Instagram account makes me want to hop a plane to Toronto to shop all their lovely vintage finds, artwork, and designs […]
It’s currently 10 degrees in New York right now. That’s Fahrenheit not Celsius. It feels like it’s never going to warm up but maybe if I start buying more spring clothes it will come. As usual, I’m loving all the options from Emerson Fry. Although I saw a lot of girls wearing white jeans during […]
I’ve been hearing about the new line Trademark for a few weeks but finally checked out their website today. I’m impressed by the initial collection from sisters Alexandra and Louisa Burch which was inspired by American minimalist design. The look is a mix of chic but not boring basics that are reasonably priced with the […]
Club Monaco recently made a big splash with their newly redesigned lower Fifth Avenue store . Now they are rolling out the chic store design to other locations including the Soho location. I stopped by last week to do a little shopping and ogling. While it doesn’t include a cafe, flower shop, or Strand bookstore […]
Just came across a tour of jewelry designer Aurelie Bidermann‘s Paris studio on Barneys The Window. It reminded me that I took a few of my own photos of her lovely jewelry and shop when I was recently in Paris. I couldn’t find her Wheat Ring here in New York so I knew it would […]
I’m not keen on names that are random phrases but since & Other Stories is an off shoot of H&M, it probably doesn’t matter. What does matter is that blogger Garance Dore recently photographer street style star Giorgia Tordini and her sister Giulia in their winter collection in Stockholm, Sweden. The clothes look quite chic […]
I think jet lag has finally caught up with me so I’m taking the night off. Or maybe I’m exhausted because I walked (and shopped) all over the city today. I’m loving London overall but one of the highlights was being overwhelmed with options at Fortnum & Mason for gifts for myself and others. But […]
I always think of HATCH for their maternity wear but after visiting their pop up shop on Howard Street, I realize it’s not just for moms. At the press breakfast, both my friend Alice Ryan and Serena Dugan of Serena & Lily were wearing a navy silk jumpsuit that looked like it was from a […]
I happened to be in Soho Friday with my camera so I stopped by a few stores and showrooms. I haven’t been in BDDW in a while and it’s clear I should stop by more often. The furniture is always amazing but I really loved the autumn inspired wall hangings. They also seem to hold […]
One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots […]
I’ve been a huge fan of Anya Hindmarch since I bought my first pair of her shoes at Harrod’s on a trip to London in 2005. They were petrol colored calf hair and came in a box so beautiful that I’ve kept them to this day. Her tiny store on East 60th Street was she […]
I’ve been staying with my friend Alice Ryan and her cute kids out on the North Fork of Long Island this week. (You might remember Alice is married to Kirk Miller of Miller’s Oath who I profiled here.) Alice was kind enough to introduce me to some of the local shops including North Found & […]
