I almost booked a last minute flight to Paris this weekend because my favorite brocante, printemps brocante de la rue de Bretagne, is taking place in the Marais. I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t because Ines de la Fressange has also just opened a new eponymous boutique in the 7th arrondissement.  It’s filled with a chic combination of […]

Summer Sale Selections

05 . 28 . 15

Right now, everything is on sale everywhere.  Well, maybe not everything but there are a lot of amazing fashions on sale at Net-a-Porter, Barneys, and Bergdorf Goodman online.  I’m sharing a few of my favorites and the best part is that you have the entire summer left to wear them. One of the brands that […]

I really wish I had visited Lisa Jackson’s store LJ Cross before I left for Costa Rica. It’s filled year round with all the essentials you need for warm weather trips such as bathing suits, sunglasses, hats, and sarongs. There are also lovely cashmere pieces and apparel for city living too. Lisa said she tries hard […]

Everyone always asks me what I pack and for this trip to Costa Rica, it was all sleeveless dresses and beach cover ups. The weather has been in the 90’s which isn’t that bad once you get used to it or can jump in the pool.  Sunscreen is also extremely important since we’re so close […]

If you are heading to Milan for Maison & Objet in April, make sure you visit the new Bottega Veneta home store. It’s located in the 18th-century Palazzo Gallarati Scotti where frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Carlo Innocenzo Carlone are the perfect backdrop for the furniture and accessories set up in a living room, dining room, studio, […]

As many of you know, visiting Paris never gets old.  Even though I lived in the City of Light for three months last summer, this most recent trip was still exciting and action packed.  The fact that is was Paris Fashion Week meant there was a palpable electricity in the air and everywhere we went we […]

Bonjour J.Crew

03 . 09 . 15

The new J.Crew store in Paris conveniently opened the day after we arrived so we popped over to Le Marais to check it out. It’s women’s only but it’s full of fun displays and special edition Saint Jacques striped shirts only available at this store. We saw the cute food trucks outside but they were […]

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 […]
