I stopped by the Ralph Lauren Ladies Mansion last week to check out the new Ralph Lauren Home collections. Islesboro, the prettiest late summer collection was inspired by the “storied refinement of a grand coastal estate, where archival patterns and vintage inspired furnishings meet refreshing ease ad enveloping warmth.” Islesboro is a lovely island off […]

Does it feel like everyone you follow on Instagram has been to Positano, Capri, and/or Greece this summer?  Now that it’s the end of August, all of Europe is en vacances since they all take their holiday at the same time. This post is an ode to these vacations. Enjoy! Striped Stretch Cotton Blend Sweater […]

I’m ready for August to wind down and this feature of Christy Turlington from Vogue Poland sums up the end of summer vibes. I can’t wait for sweater weather.  Photos from Vogue Poland via Fashion Gone Rogue

As we head into the last days of August, I’m wearing my favorite fashions and trying to figure out how to transition them to September. Here’s one of my favorite summer ensembles and how I’d change it up for cooler temperatures. Ralph Lauren Striped Shirtdress – I saw Pippa Middleton wear this dress to Wimbledon […]

When I lived in Paris, I lived on rue Babylone on the top floor of a beautiful old building overlooking a park. When I looked out my window to the right, I could practically reach out and touch Le Bon Marché department store. At the end of the park on the left was the old […]

You have to bear with me because I’m still only a third of the way through Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend book so she’s constantly on my mind lately. This along with the feature on her Antigua home purchased by Tory Burch that I posted yesterday has me thinking about her decorating […]

I remember attending a party for Tory Burch‘s first collection at Bergdorf Goodman in 2004 and it’s amazing to see how far she’s come with her fashions and her life. Her beautiful home on Antigua is featured in the new September 2018 issue of Vogue which is worth picking up for it alone. The property on […]

As much as I love traveling, there are only so many places I can go in a year. Some of my friends are also experts on certain cities and countries so I’ve asked a few of them to contribute travel posts for Habitually Chic. I couldn’t think of a better person to begin than my […]

I’m still trying to enjoy summer but the humidity is definitely making it hard. 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 […]
