This morning, I headed down to Soho in 90 degree humidity for a preview of Banana Republic‘s new home and fashion collections in their new temporary space at 515 Broadway. First, I want to clarify that this is not a sponsored post. I have already been loving the fall fashions from Banana Republic and I […]
This post was supposed to go up yesterday but my internet had other ideas. Strangely enough, a technician from Spectrum was here on Wednesday and ran a new cable from the roof to my apartment to help my spotty wifi connection. On Thursday, my wifi and television went out completely and when another technician came […]
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the new One Kings Lane store in the downtown Soho neighborhood of New York. The store doesn’t officially open to the public until Friday, November 2nd but many people already were trying to open the door to get inside to shop. Once you look through my photos, you’ll […]
Shopping online is easy but if you want to find presents in person, I suggest heading to Jayson Home in Soho. They are full of books, candles, objects, furniture, and more. I love visiting their Chicago store and we are so lucky to have them in New York now. Stop by and say hello or […]
I saw Jenna Lyons at the goop pop up shop party Monday night. She was surrounded by admirers so I didn’t get a chance to talk to her to find out what she’s up to now. My question was answered by the feature in the December 3rd issue of T Magazine which is online now. […]
Jayson Home, the beloved Chicago store, has just opened in downtown New York. It is so exciting to have their mix of new and vintage finds in the City that Never Sleeps. You can now find anything you need for your own apartment, a client project, or the perfect gift at their new location. You […]
Neal Beckstedt designed a small but impressive room in this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House so it was interesting to come across what he can do on a larger scale on Architectural Digest this week. I’m not always a fan of contemporary architecture, especially when it’s too cold and angular but has managed to […]
My friend Tim and I decided to check out the new hotel 11 Howard while we were in Soho last week. Part of the hotel includes the new restaurant Le Coucou which is collaboration between chef Daniel Rose of Spring and La Bourse et La Vie in Paris and famed restaurateur Stephen Starr of Starr Restaurants. I […]
The Aurelie Bidermann boutique on rue des Saint-Pères is currently closed for vacances along with the rest of Paris. Luckily, I will be able to shop her just opened Soho store once I get back to New York. It will be filled with her signature costume bijoux, as well as her new high jewelry collection. I didn’t […]
The new Sant Ambroeus on Lafayette Street in Soho has been open since January but I finally made it down for lunch today. I got there a little early and had a chance to examine the interior design. I loved everything they chose including the photography, warm wood paneling, burnt orange leather banquettes with brass […]
I’m currently getting ready for another photo shoot in my apartment so I’m leaving you with a few bits and bobs from Instagram. Bon weekend! I headed downtown on Wednesday when it was finally warm in the city. I love the facade on Vesuvio Bakery and since the guy didn’t seem to be moving, I […]
One of the best things about Paris, besides Paris itself, is Ladurée. While they did open a Ladurée uptown in New York, we did not have a Ladurée tea salon until this week. It is located on West Broadway in Soho in the space formally occupied by the restaurant Barolo who had a large patio. I couldn’t quite see past the chic opening […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last week, I had the fun opportunity to visit chic jewelry designer Lele Sadoughi in her new Soho studio. It’s filled with treasures she’s brought back from trips and vintage furniture reupholstered in fun fabrics. And let’s not forget all the beautiful baubles. I first found Lele through Moda Operandi and since then, her pieces have […]
I‘ve already been shopping for autumn but I still can’t wait to see what’s new from J.Crew for September. If you don’t feel prepared for fall, do I have some amazing offers for you! First, if you attend the J.Crew Style Sessions event this Thursday, August 22nd at the Prince Street store from 6:00-8:00pm, you […]
There are a lot of chic shops in New York but the recently renovated Rug Company showroom has them all beat! They have more room for their fashionable rugs and pretty pillows which now share space with lots of vintage furniture and accessories. I especially love the photographic wall hangings which I was told are […]
