It’s that time of year when I feel like the only thing you can wear are dresses. Luckily, ME+EM has a large selection from which to choose whether you prefer long or short or covered up or bare. If you want to show a little leg or are the petite side, this Cotton Jacquard Floral […]

I had a reader request for outfits to wear to the office when it’s hot outside but freezing inside because of the air conditioning. I thought this was a perfect fashion conundrum to answer with the help of Net-a-Porter who have the perfect wardrobe staples for work. And while it’s the first day of summer, […]

Now that June is here, it’s time to start thinking about the beach. I’ve put together five color palettes inspired this summer’s hottest beach reads to get you ready for fun in the sun. The first color story is inspired by How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone by Cameron Russell. It’s a bold memoir […]

My friend Heidi Wynne’s summer photo shoot took place at the Cornelius Wynkoop Stone House where George Washington was once a guest. Built in 1767 and located in the village of Stone Ridge, in the Hudson Valley of New York, Heidi thought this historic estate was the perfect setting for her classic collection of block […]

One of my Instagram followers messaged me about sandals last week. She was having trouble finding something she liked for summer so I said I’d work on a post. I hope more styles are coming this summer because I had a hard time finding anything really exciting and most sandals out right now are very […]

Since I moved to NYC 23 years ago, Bloomingdale’s has always been a part of my life. I visit the iconic store less in person now since it’s so easy to shop online but they also offer free services like buy online pickup in store, in-store or curbside pickup, personal stylists and personal shoppers, in-personal […]

Yes, I wear a lot of neutrals but they work in the colder months in NYC. When I go for color and pattern, it’s for resort trips and summer soirees. Sézane just launched their latest collection today photographed in an Italian palazzo and I went a little nutty buying dresses and tops for warmer weather. […]

I reposted a meme this weekend that asked, “Before Instagram, were people always on vacation?”. It has felt like people have been away all summer but right now it’s compounded by the fact that most Europeans are on holiday for two weeks or even the whole month of August. So if you can’t beat ’em, […]

It’s time for our annual Humidity Proof Hair post and the beginning of Leo season couldn’t be a better time, since Leos like Jennifer Lopez are known for their flowing locks. I actually started this post last week but I had some personal things to clear off my plate first. This post might actually be […]

Summer officially started last week and it’s time to plan our travel wardrobe. My friend Heidi Wynne has a beautiful summer collection and is offering Habitually Chic readers 20% off, site-wide on heidiwynne.com, until Sunday July 23, 2023 at midnight PST. Her new wicker and raffia bags and block print floral dresses are ready for […]

I missed posting my winter skincare earlier this year so I’m skipping straight to summer. I’m going to walk you through everything I’m using from products to devices to the treatments I can’t live without to get you ready to put your best face and body forward this summer. I can’t quit this Kiehl’s Clearly […]

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I decided to put together some summer essentials to get you ready for the season. They can also give you a few ideas for Father’s Day and the Fourth of July too. If you need a little cover from the sun, this linen-cotton blend beach shirt […]

Summertime Blues 2023

05 . 26 . 23

I haven’t put together a color post since last year so I thought I’d create an ode to summer in honor of the long Memorial Day holiday weekend. @amy_stone Beach Set of Two Chairs and Umbrella – 20% off with code SPLASH @victoriahaganinteriors Nine Fair Backgammon Set Floral print Swiss-dot textured cotton-blend midi dress @amy_stone […]

I know I’ve posted a lot of fashion this week which some people will love and others will hate. I started this shirtdress post last week and some styles have just gone on sale so I wanted to get it up today before they sell out. I prefer a long sleeve shirtdress because it gives […]

If you missed the classic French film La Piscine at the Film Forum last summer, you still have a few chances to see it on the big screen at Metrograph this month. I think the reason that the restored film from 1969 ended up running for 18 weeks at Film Forum after only being scheduled […]

Ben and Jen Take Paris

07 . 27 . 22

Just in case you haven’t been following my Instagram stories, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been in Paris with four of their children on a family holiday. It’s also a bit of a honeymoon since they just tied the knot in Las Vegas and a birthday trip to celebrate Jennifer’s 53rd birthday on Monday. […]

In case you have been living under a rock, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on their honeymoon in Paris along with their three daughters. I loved the floral linen dress that Jennifer wore to lunch today and some careful sleuthing discovered that it is by Reformation and only costs $248. I think it’s the […]
