When I was thinking about visiting Old Westbury Gardens (more to come on the blog soon), I reached out to Preston Davis of Keep it Chic because I knew she lived in the area. Not only did she arrange a tour of Old Westbury Gardens but she took me on a tour of various Gold […]

I’ve gone a little crazy shopping lately. Luckily, most of it was on sale or not that expensive but I’m pretty sure I’m cut off now. In my defense, a lot of it has been for my trips to Bermuda and the Hamptons, and my upcoming trip to Nantucket. Since many of you expressed an […]
As I mentioned recently, I have never visited Nantucket. But that’s about to change. I decided to check airfare and hotel rates after I returned from Sag Harbor. I had a feeling I might be able to sneak in after the Nantucket Film Festival and before everyone arrived for the 4th of July holiday and […]
After a brief rain shower, the sun came out and I decided to take along walk in Sag Harbor to appreciate and photograph all the charming homes. I happened to take another look at the book Out East: Houses and Gardens of the Hamptons by Jennifer Ash Rudick when I got home and recognized one […]
I had meant to get my Father’s Day gift guide up earlier this week but my trip to the Hamptons caused a delay but don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to shop. Father’s Day is a great time to treat the men in your life to things they might not buy themselves or […]
One of the places I always stop in Sag Harbor is Bloom. Except for the one time I went out with a guy I was dating who rushed me through shopping and I missed saying hello to owner Mona Nerenberg. She was so disappointed that I vowed it would never happened again. The first time […]
It feels so good to get out of the city and breathe fresh clean air but now I want to go to Ibiza and Marseille where the new Sézane June Capsule Collection was photographed. It’s giving me serious Brigitte Bardot vibes. I missed out on buying anything from the last collection because it sold out […]
I’m headed out to Sag Harbor today for some much needed R&R. In honor of my trip, I’m reposting the famous Hannibal French House on Captain’s Row from my trip in 2015. As always, you can follow all my fun out east on Instagram and Stories. One of the most amazing old homes in Sag […]
The one good thing that all the recent rain has brought is abundant greenery. Interior designer Robert Couturier posted a few images of his garden in Kent, Connecticut on Instagram and you can see how lush it’s looking these days. I also thought it was a good excuse to post more photos of his beautifully […]

Here are some of my favorites that will add pizazz to any warm weather ensemble. Many are on sale too! Above: Honolulu Basket Beach Please Bag – now 50% […]
When I lived in Boston, we always went to Cape Cod in the summer and occasionally the north shore. I regret that I never made it to Nantucket and should really plan a trip at some point. Until that happens, I’m going to enjoy this beautiful home on the island that Markham Roberts designed and […]
After a beautiful start to the long holiday weekend, many areas of the East Coast experienced cold and rainy weather today. It looks like Memorial Day might not be a wash out but when bad weather returns, you might want to think about heading to a theatre to see one of these wonderful documentaries. I […]
Memorial Day weekend always marks the unofficial start of summer and with it comes a multitude of pop up shops in the Hamptons. Make sure you stop by some of these when you’re out east. Aerin has added an East Hampton outpost this summer that is filled with her own Aerin Beauty and Williams-Sonoma lines, […]
