Tonight is the social event of the season for the fashion flock. The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art annual gala know better as the Met Ball will support the new exhibit, American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. Makes sense that the Gap is the sponsor although I doubt many woman in attendance […]

Striped cotton shirts have been around forever but you know that they are seriously hot again when both US Weekly and Vogue devote entire pages to them within weeks of each other. What was funny about the page in Vogue was that it included Pablo Picasso but not Coco Chanel. It is my understanding, after […]

Since I’m off to LaLa Land, I thought I’d take this time to post some great Los Angeles homes. This one belongs to the chic married couple Michael Govan and Katherine Ross and family. He’s the Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and she has worked in public relations for LVMH. […]

I have been anxiously awaiting the April 2010 issue of Vogue so I’ll have something good to read on the plane Thursday. It’s the annual shape issue which usually declares any woman over a size 2 curvy and this one might be even more depressing since model Giselle Bundchen is on the cover. Ms. Tom […]

That picture of Anna Wintour in the snow had me thinking about her style. She has clearly found what works for her and each outfit is a variation on that theme. She usually wears a suit or a dress that is either slim or has a nipped in waist. Sometimes it’s a little sweater and […]

Many years ago, I bought a fabulous pair of Anya Hindmarch shoes in London and the color was called Petrol. The color is a blue/green/turquoise and the name comes from the word for gasoline in the UK. It seems rather fitting then that the British couple, Christopher and Suzanne Sharp, who own The Rug Company […]

If you saw The September Issue then you will remember this photo shoot that Grace Coddington worked on with Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue. You might also remember Anna Wintour’s comment about the photo above. Grace’s reaction was what made me, and I bet many others, fall in love with her. I hope there are more […]

I was looking through old tear sheets again when I found the page below from the November 2008 issue of Vogue. It was shot at interior designer Veere Grenney‘s London home and it was the first place that I became acquainted with him and his work. It is also still one of my all time […]

I’m being a busy little bee working on my client projects getting quotes so I hope you’ll forgive me for a short post. After seeing the photo of me in Paris yesterday, I thought it might be fitting to post an apartment in Paris. Hamish Bowles is an Englishman living in New York working for […]

I am too exhausted to finish my other post but I know everyone loves opening their Habitually Chic email in the morning so I am leaving you with this beautiful photo of Jacqueline Bouvier and her sister Caroline Lee Bouvier as a debutantes that I saw on Vogue.com. The Hotel de Crillon Bal des Debutantes […]

I’m still undecided if I want to see the movie Nine when it debuts in November but I am looking forward to seeing the photos of the cast shot by Annie Leibovitz in the November 2009 issue of Vogue. More importantly, I’m dying to see what the Urban Apartment Makeover that is highlighted on the […]

Christian May of Maison21 was the first person last week to guess that it is Ms. Wearstler’s home that is featured in the new October 2009 issue of Vogue so he gets a gold star. Today I just noticed that Vogue.com has posted a few photos from Francois Halard that never made it into the […]

I haven’t even gotten through the huge September 2009 issue of Vogue and the October magazine has already hit the newsstands in New York! September may have to wait a little longer too because this issue is packed full of good stuff including a sneak peek into the new home of one of LA’s hottest […]

I’m going to blog about Vogue all week! Just kidding! But I was talking to a friend earlier about the release of the documentary, The September Issue and came home to read on Fashion Week Daily that editor in chief Anna Wintour will host the premier on August 19th! I hope someone invites me…hint hint! […]

I have been reading Vogue since I was 12 and one of my favorite features have always been the photos of the chic socialites and It girls. I like to see how real women dress and put things together, albeit fabulously wealthy women, but inspiring nonetheless. I wish they had more of them in the […]

I just found out that Habitually Chic was named one of StyleClone‘s Top 100 Fashion Blogs! As a fashion obsessed New Yorker, I find this quite exciting and I am thrilled to be ranked number 52! Of course, this isn’t as fabulous as Sea of Shoes blogger Jane Aldridge and her mother Judy’s spread in […]

I saw this Samuel Weekender bag from Club Monaco on Vogue’s Most Wanted feature today and thought it looked a little familiar. It has a similar style to the Hermes Plume bag but costs a couple thousand dollars less. If you buy it, you can use the money you saved on a trip to Paris! […]
