I mentioned before that The Lion is the hot restaurant du jour since its chef John DeLucie formerly worked at The Waverly Inn. While neither place is going to win any culinary awards, The Lion might just win some design awards. It has an old school New York vibe and tons of fabulous vintage photos […]

Not everyone can afford a top designer but you might be able to afford something they once owned at a One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag Sale! They have also branched out from the West Coast and next up on the sale calendar is Bunny Williams who’s sale starts tomorrow at 11:00am EDT. I could spend […]

I came across these amazing Ichiche necklaces yesterday on Vogue.com and I’m already thinking about buying them all! They are designed by Denise Spencer, an American based in Istanbul who has weaved local traditions and materials into the designs. They are actually quite reasonably priced with the necklaces seen here ranging from $169-$329. Happy Shopping!

Since I’ve been posting about art, I figured this would be a good time to tell you about a very exciting exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art this fall. Abstract Expressionism New York will trace the development of the artist movement from it’s beginning in the 1940’s through to the 1960’s when it reached […]

I found more photos of Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn’s fabulous townhouse on Diana Viñoly‘s website. Now you can see the chic kitchen, children’s bedrooms, and master bedroom and bath. It’s also interesting to see how the living room looks with different artwork installed. Enjoy!

I’m just about over “reality” tv. How many times can you watch d-list wannabe socialites who can’t sing bicker and gossip?! But since I love art, I am going to give Bravo’s new reality show Work of Art a chance. It actually features chic New Yorkers among who are Simon de Pury of Phillips de […]

As much as I like Chanel, my heart belongs to Hermès since we share an initial. Although these Crocodile suitcases that were posted on Luxist don’t have an H on them, they still have me seriously swooning! They were made in the 1930’s for Karen Blixen who wrote Out of Africa under the name Isak […]

There is always something magical about attending a fashion show in person and Oscar de la Renta‘s Resort 2011 show was no exception. With all the downtown designers on the scene making waves, it’s nice to see ladylike clothes which are by no means boring or dowdy. I really loved all the sparkly details which […]

You know someone is the current “It Girl” when they appear in more than one magazine in the same month. Either that or they have a really good PR person. Regardless, 24 year old Gaia Repossi is definitely fashionable but also very talented. She is part of the Repossi jewelry family and has already begun […]

I am beyond excited to be attending the Oscar de la Renta Resort 2011 fashion show today in person but you can also attend! Oscar and his team will be live steaming the show at 1:00pm EDT. I also highly recommend that you follow the chic and funny Oscar PR Girl on Twitter and if […]

Every week, I tell myself that I’m not going to buy any more books and of course, every week I buy another book. I just can’t help myself. I love all the pretty photos and wonderful stories. Some are silly summer beach reads and others are highly sought after collectibles but I love them all […]

I really liked Danielle Ganek‘s debut novel, Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him, and I’m hoping that her second proves just as enjoyable. While the first dealt with the sometimes absurd New York art scene, The Summer We Met Gatsby is about “two half-sisters search for the ‘thing of utmost value’ in an inherited ramshackle […]

My love of Phillip Lim‘s work is no secret and not only does the spring collection go on sale today but they have released a fascinating video of the making of the finale dress. I was deeply inspired by the Picasso exhibition at the Gagosian gallery last year and it was exciting to hear that […]

If you haven’t picked up the June 2010 issue of House Beautiful, you’re missing out. I am especially loving this beach house filled with shades of blue designed by Jim Howard. Bon Weekend! Photos by Francesco Lagnese

The CFDA was very busy this week. First, they announced that they would be releasing American Fashion Designers at Home this fall and today, they have unveiled their collaboration with the Gap. The three CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners, Monique Péan, Patrik Ervell and Sophie Théallet, have designed special pieces that will be sold exclusively at […]

Ron Galella was the original stalkerazzi and his most famous prey was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He tormented her and even followed her to Capri. She obtained a restraining order against him. The New York Post at the time called it “the most co-dependent celeb-pap(arazzi) relationship ever.” Without Ron Galella, we wouldn’t have any of these […]

The new J.Crew Bridal Boutique on Madison Avenue at 66th Street is officially open for business. Luckily for those of us not about to tie the knot, the store will also carry party dresses and jewelry, as well as scents by Histoire de Parfums. The boys won’t be left out for long since a men’s […]
