While the rest of us were eating hot dogs and watching fireworks this past weekend, Serena and Blair were painting the town red in Paris and by the looks of it, eating Ladurée macaroons! Gossip Girl has decamped to the City of Lights to shoot season 4 and I’m hoping the change of scenery will […]

I was working on a post about looking chic in shorts when I came across the photo above on The Sartorialist website. Of course, the photo was taken in Paris where everything looks chic but I love how pulled together she looks. The temperature is supposed to reach over 100 degrees today so looking and […]

I really enjoyed taking some time off this weekend to enjoy the American Fourth of July holiday. What’s funny is that there would be no America without the British so I figured why not post a fabulous English manor home today. Also, if you watched Wimbeldon for the last fortnight, you know the weather in […]

I’ve been busy the last few days styling one of my projects for a photo shoot today for Rue Magazine, a new online magazine that will debut this September. I am very excited for you to see the final design and can’t wait to see all the other great interiors in the magazine. But right […]
I saw photos of this cute little cottage on photographer Douglas Friedman‘s website and finally did a little investigating about it. Turns out that it belongs to Cove Landing (995 Lexington Avenue, 212-288-7597) co-owner Angus Wilkie and was featured on one of Martha Stewart‘s house tours. It was built in the early 19th-century and looks […]
I’m busy working today and trying to get through a thousand annoying emails so I’m posting an oldie but a goodie from 2008. This fabulous house in the Hamptons used to belong to Steven Gambrel before friends of LA designer Ruthie Sommers bought it and asked her to decorate the place. I love the colors […]
I am excitedly marking my calendar for the opening of Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen which opens at The Museum of Modern Art on September 15, 2010. As you can see from the photo of a kitchen in Frankfurt circa 1926, kitchen design has come a long way. Kitchens used to be relegated […]
Tory Burch just posted photos of her new freestanding boutique in Seoul, South Korea. I love how it looks more like a home than a store. When I first saw the photo above, I actually thought it was Tory’s home! I am definitely going to have to find out if where to find that fabric […]
As I mentioned, the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic took place this past weekend on Governor’s Island in New York. My vote for best dressed goes to Veronica Webb in Rachel Roy. It was extremely hot and she looks divinely cool! I love it! Maybe I should try a hat instead of a scarf!
“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.” – Sophia Loren I love this photo of and quote by Sophia Loren. It’s been so insufferably hot and humid in New York lately that I’m having trouble feeling chic. I wish I could wear a scarf on my […]
I’ve shopping Serena & Lily for nurseries and children’s rooms for years so I was very excited when they expanded to adult sized bedding. They didn’t just expand on the linens though. You can now buy furniture, paint, pillow, rugs, and more! For those who don’t have a designer and need a little help, you […]
When I was researching my last post on Equestrian Chic, I came across an interesting book entitled The Private Passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis: Postrait of a Rider. Jackie started riding at a very young age as you can see by some of the photos here and continued to ride with her own children. She […]
One of my readers asked me if I had any advice on how to display a saddle in a home. I could only come up with one photo of a saddle sitting on a stair banister since I think most riders keep their saddles in the tack room. I did however find lots of homes […]
Tomorrow is the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Governor’s Island which will I’m sure attract throngs of girls trying to catch a glimpse of Nacho Figueras (above) and Prince Harry. If you can’t attend this fabulous event, then I suggest you pick up Polo: The Nomadic Tribe, the stunning book by photographer Aline Coquelle. Usually […]
