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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
