One of the other occupations I toy with trying is jewelry designer. Since I don’t have the time or energy to take jewelry making classes, I get to indulge my fantasy on Gemvara. Each piece of Gemvara jewelry is customizable in over 20 different natural gemstones and nine different precious metals. Once you’ve designed your piece, […]

When Chico’s asked me to participate in their Destination Fabulous campaign and create a city guide, I couldn’t imagine how I’d narrow down all the wonderful places I love in New York. So instead, I’ve narrowed my focus down to my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and my 10 favorite places. We joke that […]

When I visited the Kassatex showroom recently, the luxurious linens and towels made me want to throw everything out in my apartment and start over.

If you can’t afford a Basquiat like in my earlier post or anything at Gagosian for that matter, you might want to check out Lindsay Cowles Art.

Usually items on Fab come and go quickly but the chicly curated items in their Fab Holiday Shop will be available until December 31st. They were kind enough to ask me to pick out some gifts for the people on my list this year. Maybe my choices will help you pick out a few last […]
I have first hand experience with many of my blog sponsors which makes it easier for me to recommend them to you. I dealt with Griffin and Wong when one of my design clients wanted chinoiserie wallpaper in her bedroom. The project ended up going in a completely different direction but I loved working with […]
Not only do my sponsors have great products but they also have great homes.

The light and airy […]
I’m excited to announce that my chic sponsor Julia B can now be visited by appointment in New York. You can view her gorgeous bed linens, cocktail napkins, lampshades, and pillows in person. Not sure if they can be monogrammed in time for Christmas but the cocktail napkins would make a perfect present for yourself or […]

It may not feel like spring but that doesn’t mean we can’t shop for it!
