Linda Fargo is the Senior Vice President, Women’s Fashion Director and Store Presentation for Bergdorf Goodman and is one of the chicest women in New York! Since the women in my family went white haired very early, I always joke that if I go white someday then I want to look like Linda! I should […]
My birthday is this weekend and I’m trying to figure out what to buy myself. While these spring and summer Celine handbags are bit more than I would like to spend, they are definitely calling my name! Me likey!
One reviewer of the Italian film Io sono l’amore (I Am Love in English) declared “see it by any means possible” and after viewing the trailer, I am terribly upset that I won’t be able to see it until it’s released in the US on June 18th! The story centers on a wealthy Italian family […]
Most hotels are owned and run by men. And what do men know about hospitality and housekeeping? Considering that they usually stock their rooms with only five hangers, I’d say not much. So I’m happy to report that some chic ladies are throwing their hats, or maybe I should say hard hats, into the hotel […]
I might have to step up my husband hunt since J.Crew is set to open a special wedding boutique in my neighborhood! The atelier at 769 Madison Avenue at 66th Street will officially debut on May 27th. I just hope there isn’t a wedding gown stampede like the one at Filene’s Basement!
I’ve been too busy decorating for others lately to spend any time on my own apartment but when a certain magazine asked to see photos of it, I thought that maybe I should finish all those nagging projects. One of which is a headboard. If you live in an apartment in New York, then you […]
I don’t normally like to visit museums on bright and sunny days but I may make an exception for the new Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition that opens today at the Museum of Modern Art. Over 300 hundred photographs that span his amazing career will be on view until June 28, 2010. My favorites are his old […]
It may have felt like summer in New York last week but it definitely looked like spring! I don’t remember Central Park ever looking as beautiful as it does right now so I thought I would share a few photos with you. Happy Spring! Photos by Heather Clawson for Habitually Chic
I’m getting my hair done this weekend and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the May 2010 issue of ELLE DECOR will be out on the newsstands in New York. I’d like to have something chic to read and this looks like a great issue. Ellen Pompeo and her home that was designed by Martyn […]
I remember seeing some vintage tortoise shells in House & Garden magazine many years ago that were credited to a place called JF Chen. It always stayed with me and I thought that I must visit this place someday. On my recent trip to LA, I finally got the chance. I’m not even sure how […]
I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday but I was busy helping my friends Mercedes Desios and Alberto Villalobos of the chic boutique Etos with their table for the annual Lenox Hill Neighborhood House benefit gala. Their table was entitled “Unapologetically Extravagant” and with butterflies from Deyrolle and a 17th century wooden pyramid […]
Growing up, the fashion rules dictated that I could not wear white until after Easter. Usually it wasn’t that warm in early spring so I’d wait until at least May to wear white. It’s supposed to reach 80+ degrees in New York on Wednesday, so I’m very tempted to pull out a white dress and […]
I’m betting that the warmer weather is going to have a lot of people thinking about taking the day off like Ferris Bueller and his friends. If you wait a few more weeks, you can actually do it in the Ferrari from the film! The car which is actually a replica Ferrari 250GT Spyder California […]
There is something about Easter that always makes me think of pastel colors. So in honor of Easter and spring, I’ve assembled some of my favorite candy colored rooms. Enjoy!

If you liked the men’s fall 2010 fashions at J.Crew, you’re going to love the women’s fall 2010 looks! It’s a lot of luxe in the form of sequins, jewels and feathers, mixed with the wools and tweeds you expect for fall. There are a lot of tone on tone color combinations like amber, brown […]
When I was asked if I would like to attend the private preview of J.Crew‘s fall collections, you know that my answer was an emphatic yes! As much as I wanted to see what I will be buying from J.Crew this fall (we’ll get to that in the next post), I was more excited to […]
After Almont Yard, I highly recommend a visit to La Cienega Boulevard. It’s chock full of great design shops including interior designer Peter Dunham‘s chic shop Hollywood at Home. It used to be in Almont Yard so make sure you know that it’s moved! When you walk in the door and turn to your left, […]
