Nordstrom has you covered for both with lots of beautiful dresses and Mother’s Day gifts. The free shipping and returns makes shopping at Nordstrom extremely easy. […]
After two days of warm weather, we are expecting snow tomorrow. I guess I’m going to have to wait a little while longer to wear my new spring finds from J.McLaughlin. J.McLaughlin Britt Linen Shirt – My closet is full of blue shirts but that never stops me from buying a new one each spring. […]
While I loved seeing another peek at Jenna Lyons’ office at J.Crew and her chic new haircut on The Coveteur yesterday, it was her words of wisdom that really resonated. “I think the best piece [of advice] I ever received is when someone pulled me aside one day and was like ‘stop worrying about what […]
I feel like yellow and white stripes are the new blue and white stripes. We saw them earlier this week on the awning of the Grand Banks and all over Instagram for the Hotel Il Pellicano 50th anniversary party weekend. That’s Bianca Brandolini and Eugenia Niarchos looking chic on the iconic towels in matching retro inspired […]
Today I had the pleasure of attending the Carolina Herrera resort 2016 preview. It would have been an outside garden party if the weather had cooperated but it was no less fun or chic indoors. According to the notes, the resort collection began with a feather illustration. “The idea of lightness, grace, and simplicity too […]
The other day I noticed a running theme on my Instagram feed. The color yellow kept popping up just like the daffodils all over the city. I thought it would be fun to pull them all together for a post including one from J.Crew above. Bon week-end ! HC Michael Traynor @mjtraynor is visiting Copenhagen, Denmark and […]
It’s finally warmed up in New York which means it’s time to pull out some colorful spring clothes. As inspiration, I’m loving this outfit that Pippa Vosper wore to an event at Harrod’s in London last week. The rainbow Valentino Sandals are perfectly complemented by her Essie Saturday Disco Fever pedicure polish. Such a perfect name […]
I keep seeing yellow everywhere I look online lately. Maybe it’s a reaction to the grey and cold winter months but it is a cheerful and hopeful color. According to Sensational Color, the color yellow “shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance […]
I had the pleasure of sitting at Aerin Lauder‘s table at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House President’s dinner last week. Also seated at the table were Mara Miller and Jessie Carrier of Carrier & Company. Jessie showed me some pictures of their sitting room and I immediately loved it. What’s funny though is that […]
I LOVE this color block outfit (it’s Prada) that Amanda Seyfried was wearing that was posted on Who What Wear today. It’s freezing again in New York and this ensemble is getting me even more excited for spring. It also reminds me of a few other things I’ve seen recently. I have been stalking these […]
Today was one of those days that took me in a million different directions. I swear I’m going to get things together soon but until then, here are a few pics that I have gravitated toward this week. The Carolyne Roehm image above makes me wish I had a dining room so I could set […]
I think we all had a feeling that the yellow benches at the Tory Burch Spring 2013 runway show were a hint at what was to come. According to the notes, the collection is an “American prep remix” inspired by a “stylish magpie who picks up special pieces while traveling around the world and always […]
This is a crazy week for me. I’m in the home stretch for the book and trying to finish it up before they start printing the color proofs. It’s very exciting but very stressful. I also have other work and obligations. I’m very lucky that I get to work for myself and try to remember […]
Even though Pantone has declared Tangerine Tango the color for 2012, I still think yellow is going to be just as big. From shades resembling an egg yolk to pale lemon, it’s bright and cheerful yet chic. Yellow and black usually reminds me of a bubble bee or Steelers uniform, but it’s starting to grow […]
If there is one color you should try to incorporate into your wardrobe come spring, it’s yellow. I saw a yellow dress on pretty much every runway for Spring 2012 but the fashion flock were wearing yellow on the street during fashion week. It’s a collection of my favorite looks including Anna and Vivianna shot […]
Ask and ye shall receive! One of my lovely readers, Liz Banfield, just had her bathroom papered in the yellow colorway of the Zebra wallpaper from Scalamandre was kind enough to allow me to share it with you. I’ve never seen the yellow used before and I think it looks really fresh. I love that […]
I’ve been hearing from a lot of readers that they miss hearing about my design projects. I completely understand and will definitely be posting about them again but not until after they are finished. A top design magazine editor just warned me again last week not to post any photos if I hope to get […]
