I fell in love with French perfumer Frederic Malle‘s New York apartment the moment I saw it featured in Men’s Vogue back in February 2008. The dining room above is one of my all time favorite rooms. It epitomizes the perfect mix of sleek and modern in the form of the Platner table and Sean […]
I have lived in New York since the Tribeca Film Festival was founded but have never attended a single film. Not because I didn’t want to but because by the time I figured out which movies I wanted to see, they were always sold out. That is why I am very excited that films are now […]
The coverage of the Royal Wedding is starting to become a bit much but I am enjoying the coverage by India Hicks. For those of you who don’t know, not only is India the daughter of the late interior design legend David Hicks but also the goddaughter and second cousin of Prince Charles. It was […]
April showers are bringing early flowers in New York. April is also bring crazy temperatures that had me wearing a winter coat on Friday and sandals on Sunday. On the non-deluge days, I like to take a walk in Central Park to enjoy the fleeting flowers. Here’s a little look at springtime in the city and a few cute […]

Happy Easter and belated Passover! House Beautiful Unknown Carlos Mota House Beautiful Unknown Martha Stewart Dolce & Gabanna Residence Raymond Meier for Vogue House Beautiful Tory Burch for […]
I recently came across another amazing apartment in Paris that was featured in the February/March 2011 issue of Côté Paris magazine. I absolutely love the living room and period details but not as much the bedroom’s wood paneling. But to each his own I guess. A good reminder about everything in life, not just interiors. […]
I’m taking the day off to enjoy a birthday lunch and trip to the Cooper-Hewitt to finally see the Sonia Delaunay exhibition. Then I will be enjoying the best present of the day, the return of Gossip Girl! Later skaters!
I’m feeling slightly under the weather so I’m leaving you with this interesting Paris apartment. Those of you who speak French can read the description on the Côté Maison website. The rest can just enjoy the photos by Jean-Marc Palisse. It’s not one of those apartments where I love every room. Clean and contemporary kitchens and […]
If you are looking for something to do this weekend, I suggest heading over to the Gagosian Gallery to see the new Picasso exhibition, Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’Amour Fou. When Picasso saw the beautiful and blonde Marie-Thérèse Walter outside the Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris in 1927, he told her, “You have an interesting […]
Technically, this post should be titled Chic in Chambray and Denim Shirts but that didn’t have the same ring just Chic in Chambray. I used to wear chambray and denim shirts in college until they were practically falling apart but tossed them aside after I moved to New York. As these photos suggest, chambray, denim and […]
There is exactly two weeks until the Royal Wedding of Prince William to commoner Kate Middleton. If you are attending or just want to pretend that you are, I suggest picking up this very chic Royal Wedding Kit from Anya Hindmarch. It includes a flag to wave, confetti to throw, and a tattoo to wear, packaged in […]
I love installations and styling but I’m sure that preparing for High Point Market twice a year might make me change my tune. Hickory Chair creative director Ron Fiore and his team take on the monumental task of styling the entire showroom each spring and fall and always do an amazing job. Hickory Chair was […]
Spring makes me want to fling open every door and window to let the fresh air inside. It makes me want to bring the outdoors in and buy flowers everyday. Most of all, it makes me want to be outside as much as possible. Well, except when it’s cold and rainy like today but I’ll […]
TRADhome the new online magazine collaboration between Traditional Home and Lonny debuted yesterday. I am very excited to be included in the premier issue along side Suzanne Kasler, Sarah Richardson and Thom Filicia talking about the decorating rules our mothers taught us that we break. Also included in the magazine are the 20 New Trad Designers […]
One of the most fun aspects of High Point Market is that many of the designers are on hand to chat with buyers and the press. I always look forward to catching up with those who don’t live in New York like Atlanta based designer Suzanne Kasler. Her collection for Hickory Chair was originally based […]
I can’t wait to see Reese Witherspoon’s new film Water for Elephants which is in theatres April 22nd and is based on the book of the same name by Sara Gruen. She looks gorgeous in the trailer and also in the May 2011 issue of Vogue along side and top of some pretty pachyderms. Rob […]
When we visited the Theodore Alexander showroom in High Point, we learned that they have an entire Althorp Collection of reproduction furniture. Althorp is a stately English home in Northamptonshire that is owned by the Spencer family. While it has over 500 years of history, it is best known as the childhood home of Princess Diana […]
