Every since I first heard Julia Amory mention that her house was being photographed for Veranda, I’ve been waiting to see the feature and it’s finally here. The July/August 2023 issue of Veranda not only includes her Southampton house but also Palm Beach photographed by Nick Mele which you can see online. I especially love […]

It feels like Chairish is the new One Kings Lane. I used to love the house features and interviews on OKL but they were long gone so it’s nice to see some on the Chairish Blog now. Lauren Santo Domingo of Moda Operandi was just profiled and we get to see a few new spaces […]

I ordered the September 2019 issue of Vogue from Amazon last week and was rewarded with a feature of Moda Operandi co-founder Lauren Santo Domingo’s house in Southampton, New York. Well, it’s not actually the whole house. The gardens designed by Miranda Brooks, which were probably photographed at their height last summer, take center stage […]

By now, you’ve probably seen this Southampton home in the July-August 2018 issue of Architectural Digest and numerous blogs. I’ve found more photos and have a personal connection so I thought it warranted a post of my own. As soon as I saw the name of the owner, Mary Ann Tighe, I recognized it immediately. […]

Most people think of the Hamptons as just a place you visit in the summer but there are many people who use their homes year round. Tory Burch is one of these people. Her 1929 Georgian home in Southampton called Westerly was a stately mansion that was made a little more family friendly by Daniel Romualdez. […]

Last week, I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the new One Kings Lane pop up shop in Southampton from president Debbie Propst. The store is located at 11 Jobs Lane in what was the old Southampton library that has been empty for years. The large building gives OKL the opportunity to create rooms to […]

I’m off to visit the new One Kings Lane store in Southampton today. I’ll be bringing you an in depth look in a future blog post but you can follow along today on Instagram and Instagram Stories. And while I’m gone, I highly suggest you check out the new markdowns at Net-a-Porter where you can […]

I never tire of seeing Aerin Lauder’s Southampton home because it’s so warm and welcoming.  It recently welcomed Garence Doré who photographed her visit which included a look at Aerin’s new Rose de Grasse perfume and a lovely lunch. As Garance mentions, the house could be intimidating because it belonged to Estée Lauder but Aerin […]

The new August 2015 issue of Vogue has a fun feature on Tory Burch and her new Sport collection. It was shot by Bruce Weber at her Southampton home and includes her three sons with former husband Chris Burch, as well as her three step-daughters, two of which, Pookie and Louisa Burch, are the founders […]

The Memorial Day holiday is the unofficial start of summer and trips to the Hamptons. There is no person who epitomizes weekend chic more than Aerin Lauder so I thought it would be fun to take another look at her style and her lovely Hamptons home. While the inside is decorated for year round use, I […]

Many people will be heading to the Hamptons this weekend to spend the last unofficial weekend of summer at the beach.  The house in Something’s Gotta Give inspired the decor of many beach homes so I thought you would be interested to know that according to Curbed, the Shingle Style house that was used for the exterior shots has […]

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 […]

Big thanks to my reader Robert in Chicago who alerted me that Michael Bruno’s home in Southampton, New York is featured in the March 2014 issue of British House & Garden. Seeing as we’re due for yet another snow storm, I think it’s the perfect time to visualize that we are escaping to warmer weather […]

I’m packing my bag and getting ready for a weekend getaway in the Hamptons.  I always feel bad that the Hamptons gets such a bad rap. Granted the traffic is hideous and the party scene can be is a bit ridiculous but it’s the closest place we harried New Yorkers have to unwind.  No wonder […]

There have been a lot of amazing opportunities that have come about because of my blog but Friday’s trip to Southampton to spend the day with Aerin Lauder takes the cake. A group of ten editors and bloggers left New York early and headed out east where our first stop was the AERIN Southampton store. […]

The Hamptons are always chic but this summer they are definitely getting a little more chic.  Today I was out in Wainscott for a preview of the new Serena & Lily store, photos to come tomorrow, and here is a peek into Aerin Lauder’s new Southampton store.  Both are opening on Saturday, May 25th and […]

Speaking of Ralph Lauren, his lovely wife Ricky has the perfect book for summer, The Hamptons: Food, Family, and History.  It’s broken up into four chapters based on the towns in the Hamptons they have had homes: Southampton, Amagansett, East Hampton, and Montauk.  It’s filled with sweet family photos from the 1970’s, wonderful recipes, and […]
