Gone to the Dogs

05 . 20 . 10

Seems like Harper’s Bazaar has decided to shoot their cover stars every month in fabulous homes. I’m certainly not complaining. It’s better than a boring backdrop and in the case of the June 2010 issue with Katherine Heigl, they added some pretty pooches too! I hope my issue comes today! Photos by Alexi Lubomirski

Chic Shades

05 . 19 . 10

I love finding cool shops in New York and recently my friend Jessica introduced me to Silver Lining Opticians (100 Thompson Street, New York, NY 10012, 212-274-9191) which is beyond cool. They have outfitted some of the hottest musicians including Rihanna, Jay Z, Kayne West, and Katy Perry in chic shades but they also have […]

When I posted about Helen and Tim Schifter’s fabulous Hamptons Hideaway in January, I mentioned wanting to see more photos and I’m happy to have finally found some! The photo above is a look at their living room which I was missing before and there’s even a view of the pool now. I’m going to […]

Surf’s Up: Part Deux

05 . 18 . 10

The surfer images from Vogue reminded me that I took some photos of surfers myself while I was in LA. I made Christian of Maison21 take me to Malibu so I could see what all the hype was about. I wasn’t that impressed with what looked like a trailer park plopped down on the side […]

This season of Gossip Girl has been less than stellar but it’s still my Monday night guilty pleasure. The season finale is tonight and I’m hoping that I can make it home in time to catch it. But even more exciting is that on Wednesday, the new June 2010 issue of Vogue will hit the […]

Prada Print Collection

05 . 17 . 10

My flower obsession continues with the new Prada Prints Collection! Remember when Carrie exclaimed “Hello Lover” in reference to some shows in a store window on Sex and the City? Well, that’s what I thought when I saw this fabulous collection! The floral and print fabrics are from the Prada archives and the silhouettes were […]

Dining Al Fresco

05 . 17 . 10

The one thing I miss about living in the city is being able to eat al fresco. I have on occasion eaten in the park but a picnic a far cry from the civilized settings of these outdoor dining tables. Bon appetit! Christopher Baker Schnabel Residence Christopher Baker Thomas O’Brien ELLE DECOR June 2010 Vogue […]

Flower Power

05 . 16 . 10

This spring, I am loving anything flowery, especially glazed chintz floral fabrics. I am also desperately missing American Vogue Living and even more so after flipping through the Spring/Summer 2008 issue and seeing this fabulous floral feature. Has it really been that long since it was last published?! So depressing. So glad that I have […]

I really don’t like design shows on television. If I see one more messy house or piece of painted plywood furniture, I’m going to go postal! That’s why I was excited to hear that some of our favorite designing divas are currently shooting a pilot for what they are touting as a “chic design reality […]

Weekend Reading

05 . 14 . 10

Someone recently asked me why I don’t subscribe to magazines. My answer is that there is nothing worse than seeing a magazine on the newsstand before your subscription copy has arrived. That’s why I have two copies of every Domino ever published. And before anyone asks, no you can’t have any of them. The point […]

X Spots The Mark

05 . 13 . 10

The chances of any of us being invited to stay at Valentino’s fabulous flat or chic chateau are slim to none, but that doesn’t mean we can’t experience a Jacques Grange designed interior. The French designer completely overhauled The Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side and now that the new The Mark Restaurant by […]

You really didn’t think I would post about Valentino without also posting photos from one of his fabulous homes did you? I’ve been saving images of his Jacques Grange designed London home for a while and was delighted to find even more on Studio Annetta. The home was originally published in the UK edition of […]

Yesterday was Mr. Valentino’s birthday and of all the wonderful cities in the world he could have chose to spend it, he picked New York. I bet that was an amazing event! In honor of his special day, I’m posting some of my favorite images of the designer and his fashions. At 78, he looks […]

Spring Market 2010

05 . 12 . 10

It may feel like winter again in New York but tomorrow is Spring Market at the D&D Building. The day is filled with wonderful panel discussions and events starting with the Keynote Address at 9:30am which features Pamela Jaccarino, editor-in-chief of LUXE Interiors+ Design, Bunny Williams, Laura Kirar, Thomas Jayne, and Stephen Elrod. Don’t forget […]

DVF at Home

05 . 11 . 10

Diane von Furstenberg just tweeted this morning that she is working hard on her upcoming home line. I can’t wait to see it! She has such great style and home around the world so I am wondering if it will reflect her nomadic lifestyle. This news also made me think of her home in Connecticut […]

Working Girl

05 . 11 . 10

I got caught up with work so I didn’t get a chance to write the post that I had originally scheduled for today. Please forgive me and enjoy these photos of this chic working girl that originally appeared in Vogue. I wish I looked this good during the day! Photos by Patrick Demarchelier

I Heart Hamish!

05 . 10 . 10

I have been stalking the newsstand for weeks trying to find the latest issue of Australian Vogue Living and was excited to finally find it Saturday. I was even more excited to open up and find a profile of Hamish Bowles’ New York apartment! I think I might have actually squealed! It’s just as spectacular […]
