I know it feels like we’ve all skipped over Thanksgiving and moved straight to Christmas so I felt like I had to give this November holiday some love. All week, I’ve been putting together some chic decorations and accessories for your Thanksgiving table. The best thing about them is that they can be used year […]

Start with the Ceramic Stoneware Pumpkin Cocotte above filled with hearty soup for the colder days ahead this weekend. There area also Cast-Iron […]
As we all know, Thanksgiving is as much about food as it is about giving thanks. My kitchen is the size of a wet bar so obviously I won’t be doing the cooking this year. I dream of having a normal sized kitchen which is why I’m always pinning them on Pinterest. I also love […]
I read on twitter today rom Dr. Frank Lipman that “gratitude produces a profound shift in your immune and endocrine systems, lowering stress hormoones and boosting overall health.” I hope that makes up for all the turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie we will all indulge in today. As usual, I’m grateful for your continued readership! Happy Thanksgiving! […]
The irony of wishing you all back in the States a Happy Thanksgiving from London is not lost on me. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends and have to unbutton your pants from too much turkey and pumpkin pie. Cheers! This is where I saw a fox run […]

Thanksgiving has generally become a holiday where people are allowed to gorge themselves on turkey and pumpkin pie while watching football games and parades. We often forget that it was originally created by the first settlers to celebrate the harvest and to give thanks in general for their new life in America. I have a […]
I posted this travel advice post in summer 2023 but I thought it might be good to update it and repost it again as people head off to spring break and start making their summer travel plans for 2024. Most of the questions I’m asked each week inevitably end up being travel related so I […]
I’ve posted the directions on how to buy my Paris Travel Guide for 2024 in Instagram stories and in one of my Bon Weekend posts but it seems to be getting lost. Since people are always messaging me and asking how to buy it, I thought I should create a dedicated blog post so it’s […]
I’m headed to Paris next week for Thanksgiving, as are many Americans, so I thought a post on what I’m packing would be in order. But if you’re not going to Paris, you don’t need to check out and stop reading. I will also wear all of these outfits in NYC and they also work […]
I can’t believe it’s January 10th already. Time flies when trying to get back on track after the holidays. The one time I don’t mind climate change is when it’s warm and mild in January in New York. It makes getting out and doing things a lot easier but if you live in one of […]
Write it Down, Make it Happen used to be an annual New Year’s post based on the book by the same name. I hate looking back and always want to keep moving forward but I read the 2015 blog post and I’m embarrassed to say that a lot of those things did not get accomplished. […]
Even though the month is more than half over, there is still a lot to look forward to this December. Here are some things to see, do, and most importantly watch if you are stuck at home due to the weather. If you’re in New York over the holidays, make time to visit the Bard […]
