I kept hoping that someone else would photograph Kate and Andy Spade’s apartment and my wish was finally granted.  The Selby has finally come uptown and shot their fabulous home for his site.  I remember seeing an interview of the Spades touring this apartment when it was in its original untouched condition.  I’m happy to […]

All the windows at Bergdorf Goodman are amazing, not just those for the holidays.  A new book from Assouline, Windows at Bergdorf Goodman, chronicles many of their fanciful creations.  The delft window above is absolutely gorgeous but my all time favorite is the window with a tilted floor that makes it look like a ship is listing to […]

My favorite part of living in New York is being able to experience the Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows in person.  Each year, the senior director of visual presentation, David Hoey, and his staff create windows full of pure fantasy and over the top glamour.  The theme this season is traveling which includes a winged horse […]

When The City was cancelled on MTV, I hoped that style idol Olivia Palermo would get her own show.  While she wouldn’t divulge details, she just confirmed that she’s “currently working on a TV project, my own show.”  I don’t really care what it’s about as long as it showcases her amazing personal style.  Oh, […]

The holiday windows have all been unveiled and the funniest are always at Barneys.  Simon Doonan and his creative team are wishing everyone a Foodie Holiday this year.  One particularly cheeky window features everyone’s favorite lady chefs including Ina Garten, Paula Deen, Martha Stewart, Sandra Lee all in personalized Snuggies.  Sanda Lee, Food Network chef […]

You may remember that I wrote about Templeton, the home of style icon C.Z. Guest a few months ago.  Now you can see more photos in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  Her daughter Cornelia Guest lives on the sprawling estate but it’s proving to be a bit too big for her and she has put it […]

It was interesting to hear that Carey Mulligan was just selected by Baz Luhrman to play Daisy Buchanan in his new adaption of The Great Gatsby.  The 1974 version staring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow is considered to be a classic so it seems a little weird that Baz Luhrmann would remake it at all.  I’m curious […]

I could spend a week discussing Cecil Beaton.  He was a photographer, set designer, costume designer, interior designer, diarist, style icon, and probably more.  Among the highlights of his career were the sets and costumes he designed for Gigi and My Fair Lady as well as the wedding photos he took of the Duke and […]

Those who were not lucky enough to be invited to the presentation of Tom Ford‘s spring 2011 women’s collection can finally see what we missed thanks to Vogue.  The ensembles were presented by a coterie of Mr. Ford’s friends who included models, singers, actresses and others.  Their ages, 22-67, and body types varied from bootylicious […]

By now, we’ve all seen this iconic shot of Albert Hadley’s sitting room in his New York apartment. The blue color framed by the gilt frame is just gorgeous and easy to replicate.  I was thinking about this image yesterday after looking at the blue walls in Steven Gambrel’s room at Designer Visions.  I was also […]

The third apartment at The Setai for Designer Visions was designed by Steven Gambrel for Town & Country magazine.  It has just been published in the December issue if you want to read more about it.  As you know, all the spaces were inspired by a film set in New York and Steven chose Six […]

After a lovely weekend, I’ve decided to take a night off.  Of course, I can’t leave my blog readers high and dry so I’m posting one of my all time favorite interiors.  This drawing room was designed by Billy Baldwin for long time clients Kitty and Gilbert Miller’s London home.  Except for the flowers and […]

“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.” – Morris West Just a little reminder to enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

I’ve always been Team Anniston.  It’s the hair.  So when I found out that Angelina Jolie was on the cover of the December issue of Vogue, I was none too pleased.  There is something about that husband stealing home wrecker that rubs me the wrong way.  I will admit that the photo above by Mario […]

Of all the spaces at Designer Visions at The Setai, I was most excited to see the apartment inspired by Wall Street.  Interior designer Richard Hallberg designed the space for Veranda and imagined where Gordon Gekko would live after he was released from prison.  He would certainly still be collecting art and living well.  What […]

We’re a bit behind with some of the foreign magazines so I just found the September/October issue of Australian Vogue Living on the newsstand yesterday.  I am begging them to offer an online subscription to their fabulous magazine because they always feature the the most amazing interiors.  I immediately fell in love with the Lime […]

Whenever I visit Barneys, I love to check out the books on the 9th floor. I came across one book recently that is especially chic. In English it’s called Reporting in Style and in French, Collection Privée.  Regardless of the name, the photographs by Benno Graziani will speak for themselves.  Benno Graziani was one of the […]
