If there is any place that has made me say, I want to go to there, it’s La Mirande in Avignon, France. Pierre Frey posted two images on Instagram since some of their Braquenié fabrics are used in the hotel and now I am dreaming of a trip. The five-star hotel and restaurant opened in […]
If you are heading to Milan for Maison & Objet in April, make sure you visit the new Bottega Veneta home store. It’s located in the 18th-century Palazzo Gallarati Scotti where frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Carlo Innocenzo Carlone are the perfect backdrop for the furniture and accessories set up in a living room, dining room, studio, […]
As many of you know, visiting Paris never gets old. Even though I lived in the City of Light for three months last summer, this most recent trip was still exciting and action packed. The fact that is was Paris Fashion Week meant there was a palpable electricity in the air and everywhere we went we […]
I first heard of the Haven in Paris apartment rental agency from Jon Maroto and George Nunno of Flair Home who often stay in their properties. I didn’t have the opportunity to rent from them until this past trip but I will definitely be renting from them from now on. For a nine day trip, an apartment […]
I’m getting ready to head to Charles de Gaulle and I don’t don’t want to leave Paris. This has been such a fun and exciting trip. The weather could not have been more perfect too. Michelle and I saw and did so much (and bought so much!) that it probably is a good thing we’re […]
Before we came to Paris, Michelle and I each made a list of the places we definitely wanted to visit on this trip. Since she is currently decorating her house, at the top of her list was the fabric showroom Tensira. The founders of Tensira, Tuulia Makinen and Hamidou Diallo met in school in Finland, fell in […]
We’ve only been in Paris two days but we’ve already seen and done so much. It’s a great trip already and it’s really only just begun. Yesterday, we sat outside in the glorious warm sun at La Bonaparte for lunch where I made friends with the chien next to us. Later, I passed another man and […]
Since we will be attending so many events in Paris, I really did need to lay out all my outfits and plan them in advance. You don’t want to get to your destination and realize you forgot something important like the right pair of shoes or your favorite necklace. Here’s a look at some of […]
A fair amount of outfit planning went into this trip to Paris. I needed to pack a lot of pieces that would work with different outfits but also be chic for fashion week. While I will be showing you some of my actual outfits tomorrow, these are some of the looks that inspired me. I’m sticking […]
I’m off to the airport with my fingers crossed that today’s rain doesn’t delay my flight. I can’t wait to get out of the cold and into the springtime in Paris. I saw one 60 degree day on the forecast and almost jumped for joy. I don’t want to give away some of the fun […]
Today has been one of those days. I’ve been running around taking care of last minute things for Paris like highlights with Marie Robinson and picking up my tailoring. I’m also dealing with last minute work projects. So much for telling people a month in advance of your travel plans. I promise a long post […]
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 […]
I kept seeing images from the living room above on Tumblr and finally decided to investigate. Turns out they are from the home of Rosa Park and Rich Stapleton, the founder of Cereal magazine, that were featured on Freunde von Freunden. Not only is the apartment interesting but it’s location in Bath, England is a […]
As excited as I am to be headed back to Paris next week, I would like to add some new stamps to my passport. I’m thinking Copenhagen might be a good place to visit this year. It’s a beautiful city with a great design community and lots to see. If I do decide to go, the Hotel […]
Even though it feels like I just got back from my summer sojourn in Paris, I’m already planning for my next trip. Michelle Adams and I will be in the City of Light for Paris Fashion Week in March with lots of big adventures on the docket. I can’t wait to attend chic fashion shows, […]
Travel is as much abut the places you go as the people you travel with and that was never more true than on my press trip to Caneel Bay on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The weather was beautiful and warm which was a great reprieve from winter in New York and the other […]
I’m off to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands today for a few days of fun in the sun at Caneel Bay. I’m leaving just in time to miss another arctic blast headed for New York and can’t wait to sit on the beach. India Hicks is based in the Bahamas, not where I’m […]
