I already posted some of these in my Bon Weekend posts on Substack but wanted to post them all together here for those of you who haven’t signed up yet. Luckily, there are a lot of new things to watch when you are hiding out inside from the 90 degree temperatures that seem to be […]

I started the March New and Noteworthy post earlier in the month but got sidetracked. It actually worked out well since I was able to add a few more things that should be on your radar this month. We could really use more hotels on the Upper East Side so I hope someone builds or […]

The Cinabre Shop and Les Suites in the 9th arrondissement in Paris have been on my radar for some time but when two influencers posted their stays during Paris Fashion Week, I realized I hadn’t seen a full look inside. Cinabre was founded as a fashion company by Alexandre Chapellier in 2011 to make ties, […]

February feels like it’s flying by but there’s still a lot of new things to do, see, watch, and try this month. The Madison Avenue Diptyque store took over the neighboring space and renovated to create one of the most beautiful boutiques in the city now and the biggest Diptyque store in the US. The […]

Last year felt like it crawled by at a snail’s pace while this year is flying by. I can’t believe it will be July next week. If you’re coming to the city or just looking for new things to see and do, I’ve got you covered. This week, I attended the Member Preview for The […]

I can’t believe we’re in June already. It’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun again. There are so many things going on in New York right now and about to happen so I’ve rounded up the best for you. I haven’t been to the MoMA since I went to the preview of the […]

After my press preview at Hermès yesterday, I decided to walk the entire length of the High Line to check out the first phase of the new Hudson Yards shopping and event complex. I had delayed visiting when it first opened due to the crowds and location. I wish it was more conveniently located because […]

Hope your New Year is going well. I’ve spent the last week and a half trying to get back on track while also checking out art exhibitions and visiting new places in my spare time. I thought I’d share them in case you want to explore the city but I’ve included a few other options […]

I have a bad habit of going on a trip and posting all my adventures on Instagram but never following up with a travel guide on the blog. Well, those days are changing. I am going to try to post a recap after every trip and go back to some of my old travels but […]

The holidays in New York are always magical and this year is no exception. I took a tour of some of the decorations this past weekend and the Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows were the standout. The “To New York With Love” themed windows celebrate New York cultural institutions such as American Museum of Natural History, […]

If you’re looking for a last minute Mother’s Day activity, I highly suggest a visit to the new Aquazzura store. The luxury Florence based footwear brand founded by Edgardo Osorio best known for its lace up styles and sexy flats has a new chic home on Madison Avenue designed by Ryan Korban. “My favorite part of […]

I’ve had L. Becker Flowers on my must visit list for a while. Yesterday, I finally made a pilgrimage to the chicest shop on the Upper East Side. The most ironic thing about of L. Becker Flowers is that there aren’t actually many flowers in the space. Owner Larry Becker and his partner Roger Crowley assured […]

I almost booked a last minute flight to Paris this weekend because my favorite brocante, printemps brocante de la rue de Bretagne, is taking place in the Marais. I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t because Ines de la Fressange has also just opened a new eponymous boutique in the 7th arrondissement.  It’s filled with a chic combination of […]

Chic in LA: The Row

05 . 18 . 14

Just because I’m in Paris doesn’t mean I’m not keeping up with what’s going on aux Etats-Unis.  Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have just opened their first stand alone store for their uber-chic fashion house The Row in Melrose Place in Los Angeles. Like their collections, it’s very clean and simple. The space will not only […]

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 […]

Chic in Soho: BDDW

11 . 12 . 13

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 […]

I’ve been a huge fan of Anya Hindmarch since I bought my first pair of her shoes at Harrod’s on a trip to London in 2005. They were petrol colored calf hair and came in a box so beautiful that I’ve kept them to this day. Her tiny store on East 60th Street was she […]
