I attended my first ever Ralph Lauren fashion show today and I can tell you that it was even more magical than I imagined. I was wondering why Ralph Lauren holds their show at Skylight Studios all the way downtown. When I walked inside, the answer was clear. Every detail from the sisal carpet to the […]
We often see fashion designers enter the home realm but rarely does it happen the other way around. I think that’s why it is so exciting to see interior designer Kelly Wearstler make the foray into fashion. I was lucky enough to attend a little soiree for the chic designer at Bergdorf Goodman who is […]
I’ve been so busy attending shows, events and parties this fashion week that I’m behind on downloading and editing all my photos! I’m working fast and furiously to put some posts together but in the meantime, here’s a great shot I took of Italian fashion editor Anna Dello Russo after the Tory Burch fashion show […]
There have been so many exciting shows, events and parties this fashion week. One of my favorites was touring the new Tory Burch boutique at 797 Madison Avenue and meeting its designer Daniel Romualdez (no website). He admitted that he is a little publicity shy when it comes to himself but was kind enough to chat with […]
The green room in the Tory Burch boutique at 797 Madison Avenue is very similar to Tory’s own living room. For a full view of her apartment, you can check out my old blog post Tory Burch At Home. Photos by Heather Clawson for Habitually Chic
It’s fitting that the book Eleanor Lambert: Still Here was released at the start of fashion week since Eleanor Lambert is the person responsible for creating the basis of what would become fashion week as we know it. That was just one of the fascinating things I learned about this remarkable woman in John Tiffany’s […]
I was familiar with the Fenton and Fallon jewelry lines but it was Twitter that personally introduced me to the designer behind them, Dana Lorenz. Her impeccable taste and style was on full display at her Spring 2012 presentation for the Fenton collection at The Four Seasons restaurant on Friday. It was the perfect chic […]
During fashion week, the big designers and shows get most of the attention but it’s also important to support the younger designers as well. On Thursday, I stopped by Rachel Antonoff‘s Spring/Summer 2012 presentation. The runway shows at the tents can cost thousands of dollars so many designers show off site and this one was […]
If the empty shelves at the Missoni for Target Private Launch Event last night were any indication of the positive reaction to the new collection, I would suggest camping out in front of your local store now for the September 13th launch. If you are lucky enough to be in New York now, you’ll be able to shop at the […]
The weather in New York has turned from summer to autumn overnight. Unfortunately, it’s not the sunny and warm autumn that I was dreaming about but a cold and damp one. I hope it clears up soon so I can wear all my new clothes without covering them up with a trench. It’s definitely making […]
If you live in New York, I suggest you don’t look at the weather forecast for this week. All the rain has me wishing that de Kooning: A Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art was open now. It would be a perfect rainy day activity but unfortunately it doesn’t open until Saturday, September 18, […]
While preparing for the hurricane last weekend, you might have missed excellent article, The Battle for Hermès in the Wall Street Journal. For those of you who don’t know, Bernard Arnault, the owner of LVMH, has been buying up shares of Hermès in an attempt to add the venerable brand to his stable of luxury […]
This post is also a repeat but since it’s from May 2008, you might not remember it. The garden is featured in a lovely book Exceptional Gardens that was originally published in Belgium. The name really says it all and it’s filled with gorgeous green gardens around Europe. Also a reminder to get out and […]
I’m trying to enjoy my last few days of summer so I’m taking a little time off. Instead of leaving you high and dry, I am reposting one of my favorite summer houses from the Hamptons. (If TV can repeat shows, why can’t I repeat posts?!) The house belongs to Helen Lee and Tim Schifter and […]
By all these lovely tokensSeptember days are here,With summer’s best of weatherAnd autumn’s best of cheer. – Helen Hunt Jackson, September
There was so much to look at in the September issue of Vogue that many might have overlooked this stunning rooftop apartment. It’s owned by Claude Wasserstein and was designed with help of interior designers Jacques Grange, Jeffrey Bilhuber, and Daniel Romualdez. Usually, combinations like that could result in a mash up of styles and ideas but it […]
One of my great pleasured every month is receiving C Magazine. Even though it’s based in Los Angeles, I always find plenty of interesting articles and products. The September 2011 issue arrived right before the hurricane watch began and gave me lots to look at over the long weekend. The best being the Hollywood Hills […]
