Here’s another color compilation to celebrate these last few weeks. via @haleboyd Sky Blue Swimsuit Amanda printed silk-georgette midi dress – I’d have my tailor cut off the ties on the sleeves via @craigamarkham via @notetosarah via @willelc via @thefacinator L’Officiel […]

After another heatwave in New York this week, I’m officially ready for fall. Although it looks like the temperatures will abate this weekend, it will also be rainy. Perfect time to watch something new on Netflix or take in a museum. Here are some options to get you through your weekend. First up, is The […]

If you just looked at the photos of interior designer Ryan Korban‘s new apartment in the September 2018 issue of Architectural Digest, you might think it was in Paris. It’s actually located on the Upper East Side of New York but it was the European feeling interiors in the turn of the century townhouse that […]

Some people are experiencing the summertime blues because they don’t want summer to end. I have the summertime blues because it’s too hot and humid. I can’t wait for cooler fall weather but I’m going to try to embrace these last few weeks with some more of your favorite color compilation posts. Nine Fair Backgammon […]

It’s too hot to wear jeans but one can dream. It’s about this time that I was to burn all my favorite summer clothes. If the temperature dips below 78 degrees I pull out the jeans and can’t wait to wear this outfit again. Rebecca Taylor Spring Floral Voile Top – This blouse is a […]

I loved the New York apartment of Michael DePerno and Andrew Fry that I featured in the post Small Space, Big Style earlier this year so it’s no surprise that I also love their Connecticut house. The owners of the store Plain Goods in New Preston, Connecticut are the poster boys for classic American minimal […]

In addition to more flat lay outfits and color compilation posts, I’ve also had a request to bring back more bon weekend compilation posts. These are posts that incorporate disparate recommendations and events that don’t warrant a full blog post. I’m not sure I’ll do them every week but instead when I have a few […]

This very chic art collector’s apartment in Pimlico was featured in the December 2016 issue of House & Garden but I didn’t see it until this week. Better late than never because I love the mix of important furniture pieces and and art in a more masculine setting for a French private equity firm partner. […]

In addition to flay lay outfits, I’ve been receiving many requests for color posts. I lost interest after other people started to copy them but since so many readers love them, I will try to bring them back on a more regular basis. As a follow up to yesterday’s neutral outfit is a neutral color […]

I’ve had a lot of requests for more flat lay outfit posts and I’m going to try to comply. Sometimes things I buy sell out quickly which makes it hard but luckily most of the latest things I’ve purchased are still available. I’m also trying to think about how to transition some pieces to fall. […]

I knew that Bunny Mellon had designed the White House Rose Garden but I didn’t know how close she was to Jackie and President Kennedy. I’ve just finished the chapters that delve into this friendship in the book Bunny Mellon: Life of an American Style Legend. Bunny and Paul Mellon had a house in the […]

As most of you know, I love taking care of my skin and I’m always using new products. I just attended a launch party for the reformulated La Prairie Caviar Collection last night and started using the Ziip Beauty Device both of which I will review soon. Until then, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is filled with amazing […]

I buy many books the minute they are published but I don’t always get around to reading them right away. I also feel like our tech obsessed world has given me social media induced ADD. It’s hard not to scroll through Instagram at night instead of reading but I’m trying to remedy this issue. I’ve […]

When I saw designer Daniel Richards in Sag Harbor earlier this summer, he commented on the fact that I used to post more for men. It’s definitely something I’ve been aware of as well so I’ll try to try to remedy this going forward starting with this post. The women’s fashions get all the buzz […]

I had never heard of interior designer Francois de Marigny before coming across this art filled duplex he designed for a divorced and his children in Paris on ArchitecturalDigest.com but now I want to see more. The home in Napoleon III building with a private garden hadn’t been touched in 50 years but luckily all of […]

As with so many things these days, I learned about Chateau de Villette on Instagram. The beautiful property was renovated and designed under the expert eye of Jacques Garcia but was listed as a “private residence.” Further investigation has revealed that it is actually available for stays, private events and weddings. It has recently played […]

Fashion isn’t the only thing on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Great deals can be found on bedding, bath towels and accessories, home decor, rugs, tabletop, kitchenware, and more. It’s the perfect time to hit refresh on your own home, decorate a dorm room, new apartment, or weekend retreat. I’ve picked out a few […]

By now, you’ve probably seen this Southampton home in the July-August 2018 issue of Architectural Digest and numerous blogs. I’ve found more photos and have a personal connection so I thought it warranted a post of my own. As soon as I saw the name of the owner, Mary Ann Tighe, I recognized it immediately. […]

I enjoy following the travels of Julia Engel, her husband Thomas Berolzheimer, and their art director Dulci Edge, as they photograph each Gal Meets Glam Collection. The July collection launching today was shot in London in May during the Chelsea Flower Show. The whole city seemed to be bursting in bloom creating the perfect backdrop […]

I enjoy following interior designer Justin Van Breda on Instagram so it was lovely to see the house he shares with Alastair Matchett in the Costwolds in the July/August 2018 issue of Elle Decor. Justin came from South Africa to work for designer Nicholas Haslam but now has his own design firm and product lines […]
