The first thing you notice when you arrive on Bermuda is the bright turquoise water as you drive across a bridge after leaving the airport. It’s so vivid that everyone comments on how it doesn’t look real. The whole island is so beautiful that it almost looks art directed. Needless to day, it was the […]
Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know I’m in Bermuda but just wanted to let everyone know I’ll be here all weekend. Yesterday was a whirlwind day of travel and activities which is why I didn’t get a chance to post. Sarah Bray of Gotham magazine organized a wonderful Bermuda Design weekend […]
I’m starting to feel like I could be coming down with something so I’m taking some time for myself until my birthday dinner tonight. I’ve managed to evade the flu all winter so I really hope it hasn’t caught up with me now. I’ll be back tomorrow with a longer post. Big thanks to designer […]
Mother’s Day is less than four weeks away on May 13th so I’m giving you ample heads up. You have no excuse not to find something special for the special woman or women in your life. As I’ve mentioned before, when giving an ephemeral gift like flowers or a spa day, I think it’s nice […]
Frogmore House has been royal residence since it was bought for Queen Charlotte by her husband George III. The 33-acres of private gardens are part of Home Park which adjoins Windsor Castle and includes the Royal Burial Ground, the Royal Mausoleum of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and the mausoleum for and the mausoleum for The Duchess […]
Sézane is one of my favorite brands. I wore one of their blouses yesterday and can’t wait to wear the white embroidered dress I bought this summer. My biggest frustration with Sézane is that their collections sell out very fast. That’s why I’m letting you know that their Garden Party Collection was just launched online. […]
April hath put a spirit of youth in everything. – William Shakespeare Photos by Heather Clawson for Tsoydesign
This week has been crazy and next week is poised to be even crazier. I’m hoping to be able to take a long walk in Central Park now that it’s finally warmed up. Until that happens, I’m going to gaze at photos of this beautiful relaxing garden in Tuscany by Luciano Giubbilei that was featured in […]
While Hudson Pines, the 75-acre estate of Peggy and David Rockefeller, sold for $33 million the treasures it held will be up for auction at Christie’s this May. The main house designed in 1938 by noted architect Mott B. Schmidt sits about a mile from Kykuit, John D. Rockefeller’s property that is open for public visits. […]
I’ve professed my love for The Fold before but I haven’t needed them more than I do this spring. I have parties and events every night this week and next and I’m trying to plan out my outfits. The Fold has the best dresses and separates that perfectly transition from day to night for women […]
The Peggy and David Rockefeller Collection coming up for auction at Christie’s in May is touted as “the most anticipated art world event of the spring season” and they aren’t exaggerating. The sale filled with artwork by Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, and Pablo Picasso among others, as well as beautiful antiques and objects […]
I cancelled my subscription to Starz last year but I might have to resubscribe to watch their new four part adaption of Howards End from the BBC that begins on April 8, 2018. This version by screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan of Manchester by the Sea fame is getting mixed reviews when compared to the original 1992 […]
I’m anxiously awaiting the launch of Westman Atelier, the clean beauty collection from make up artist Gucci Westman and her husband David Neville. It won’t be available until May but the WSJ.Magazine has an interview with the couple and a look inside their Upper West Side apartment. The new beauty line took three years to develop […]
Faringdon House in Oxfordshire, England was the house on which Nancy Mitford based the fictional house Merlinford in her book The Pursuit of Love. In reality, it was the home of composer, painter, and novelist Lord Berners, who inherited the house in 1918 and lived in it from 1931 until his death in 1950. Faringdon played host to […]
I love the John Derian stores on East 2nd Street but they are a destination and not a place I walk by regularly. That’s why I am so excited about his new store that just opened at 18 Christopher Street in the West Village which is one of my regular haunts. The front of the […]
Aerin Lauder’s latest collection for Williams Sonoma Home has just launched and I think it might actually be better than her first. I love the addition of green to the blue and white mix and the new scalloped bedding. If you’re still trying to put your Easter table together or plan your spring and summer […]
Spring is taking it’s sweet time getting here and now it’s grey and rainy in New York. I am so ready for color and flowers and sunshine. Since that’s not happening, I figured this was a great time to revisit Kate Rheinstein Brodsky‘s family apartment filled with color and flowers put together in the most […]
I am very lucky to have two closets in my New York apartment, a hall coat closet and a wide clothes closet. My main closet is not working efficiently since I can’t really reach the shelves above the hanging rod. I’ve been thinking having California Closets build a two foot wide section of floor to […]
We’re in the homestretch to spring and if you still haven’t got your warmer weather wardrobe together, Net-a-Porter is here to help. The chic retailer is offering 10% off sitewide (with some exceptions) until March 30, 2018 with the code STYLE10. It’s good for three uses per customer. I put together an outfit I’d love […]
