The calendar says it’s officially spring so now that means it’s time to start shopping for warmer weather. I can’t wait to finally pack away my coats and boots and pull out something lighter and more colorful. There’s nothing easier to throw on than a dress and no one has more options for spring and summer […]

Spring in Paris

“When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.” – Henry Miller Photos by me via Instagram @habituallychic

It’s cold and rainy in Paris this morning, so I’m dreaming of warmer weather and the new spring collection at J. McLaughlin is making me dream even harder. I love all the pretty colors and fun patterns that are perfect for work and weekend. I want to be wearing all of them while enjoying some sunshine. To help […]

Shine On

02 . 20 . 16

After seeing a photo of myself from my recent trip to Palm Springs, I realized that maybe I should start wearing brighter lipstick.  It’s an easy way to update your look and brighten your mood without spending a lot of money. As soon as I got home, I ordered a few exclusive shades of YSL Rouge […]

My final show each fashion week is Ralph Lauren.  I like to think of it as saving the best for last and it always ends the week on a high note. While the red, white, and blue color palette might seem all American, the lyrics that played while Mr. Lauren took his bow was “I love […]

Think Warm Thoughts

03 . 01 . 15

The calendar says March but forecast is calling for more snow.  I think we’re all over this winter so let’s take a look at these sunny photos from Bergdorf Goodman that were shot in Cartagena, Colombia and pretend we’re warm. They feature new spring arrivals that I hope we can will be able to wear […]

Eternal Spring

02 . 07 . 15

Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart. – Victor Hugo

I was cleaning out tear sheets this week and came across this spread from Vogue Australia recently .  It features model Arizona Muse in “louche locks, easy elegance, a cinematic polish and masculine lilt recalling the iconic insouciance of Lauren Bacall.” It sounds as lovely as it looks and makes me wish I wasn’t pulling on […]

In the Spring

04 . 28 . 14

The weather in New York still isn’t cooperating but at least the city is looking pretty, especially the Upper East Side.  In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;  In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. –  Alfred Lord Tennyson Flowers by Ariston Florist in the […]

Spring Fling

04 . 21 . 14

Many of you are celebrating Easter Monday today so I’ve decided to keep with the theme of spring.  It was the most beautiful weekend in New York and it seemed like every person in the city was in Central Park on Sunday. Everything is in bloom and putting us all in a good mood after […]

Merci Beaucoup!

Just want to thank you everyone for the lovely birthday wishes and to my friend Tim for the beautiful flowers above. Since my birthday fell on Good Friday, I celebrated with my friends Thursday night but I might just keep going for a few more days. Bon weekend!  “Every year on your birthday, you get […]

The warmer temperatures are a great time to lighten up not only your wardrobe but also your home.  It’s the perfect opportunity to pull out your blue and white china or buy a few pieces.  The best places to find it in New York are Pearl River Mart and William Wayne. Happy Spring! Didier Haspeslagh […]

It’s been one of those days. Since I didn’t get a regular post up, I’m leaving you with a few shots from my instagram that illustrate that spring has finally sprung in New York.  About time too.  “Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers.” […]

I hate to beat a dead horse but I’m not sure how much of this winter I can take. Spring is so close yet it feels so far away.  So please indulge me while I gaze longingly at these photos of green spaces and pretty flowers.  Winds of March, we welcome you,  There is work […]
