This week has been a little crazy. As soon as I returned from Nantucket, I jumped into styling my friend’s apartment for a photoshoot today. In the midst of all my running around, I did manage to pick up a few of the September magazines including the new Elle Decor with Aerin Lauder in Paris […]
Aerin Lauder and her brand Aerin Beauty have partnered with Colombian fashion designer, Johanna Ortiz, to create an exclusive lipstick and beauty bag collection in botanical and bug prints inspired by Colombia. The three lipstick colors include a neutral, a bright orangey coral, and, a perfect red color in patterned packaging that would make a […]
There are always great parties each fall in New York but the place to be last night was the Cabana magazine pop up party at Bergdorf Goodman. Italian founder Martina Mondadori Sartogo was on hand to celebrate her new colorful Persia Collection along with Aerin Lauder, Ashley Hicks, and Lee Radziwill, and many others. The […]
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 […]
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 […]
I love this outfit that Aerin Lauder worn in Paris this week. I had a feeling the blouse was Chloé and actually came across it while I was out shopping today. I will have to ask her where her jeans are from since they are the perfect shade of blue. While she accessorized her outfit with a […]
I picked up Architectural Digest on the newsstand Monday and love the “Dream Houses” featured in the May 2017 issue. It was also nice to see more of Aerin Lauder‘s family home in Palm Beach where her Williams Sonoma collection was photographed. The house was owned by Estee Lauder who left it to Aerin’s father Ronald […]
The AERIN Collection for Williams Sonoma could not have debuted at a better time. The collection of furniture, accessories, tabletop, and decor are perfect for refreshing your home for spring and summer entertaining. “The collection incorporates a ton of blue and white, which is a staple in the AERIN brand and is part of my […]
In honor of International Women’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to post about one of my favorite inspiring women. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Habitually Chic and I still can’t believe all the wonderful people it’s brought into my life. It’s even more special when people I admire follow and […]
The Memorial Day holiday is the unofficial start of summer and trips to the Hamptons. There is no person who epitomizes weekend chic more than Aerin Lauder so I thought it would be fun to take another look at her style and her lovely Hamptons home. While the inside is decorated for year round use, I […]
I’ve slacked off on holiday gift guides for the past few years. To make up for this, I’ve asked some of my favorite people to contribute gift guides in their area of expertise. Some of them you will know and some will be an introduction but I guarantee you will love all of their choices. Aerin Lauder […]
I’m either going to have to build more shelves or move in order to accommodate all the new books coming out this fall. Lots of fabulous design books are about to be published from some your favorite decorators, as well as books by a few first time authors whose names you will definitely recognize. I’ll […]
After my visit to Aerin Lauder’s house and store in the Hamptons, I decided that I needed a topiary. Since I don’t have a house like hers above, I settled for a small myrtle topiary and a larger ball topiary in a blue and white pot similar to the one in her store. It’s a […]
The absolutely pinch me moment on Friday was being invited to Aerin Lauder‘s house in the Hamptons for lunch and an afternoon of beauty treatments and other activities. As long time readers will know, I’ve posted photos of the house before (you can see them here) so it was an absolute treat to be able to […]
There have been a lot of amazing opportunities that have come about because of my blog but Friday’s trip to Southampton to spend the day with Aerin Lauder takes the cake. A group of ten editors and bloggers left New York early and headed out east where our first stop was the AERIN Southampton store. […]
The Hamptons are always chic but this summer they are definitely getting a little more chic. Today I was out in Wainscott for a preview of the new Serena & Lily store, photos to come tomorrow, and here is a peek into Aerin Lauder’s new Southampton store. Both are opening on Saturday, May 25th and […]
I remember speaking with someone last year about Aerin Lauder‘s line for Lee Jofa and today I saw the final amazing result. It makes me wish I worked on more design projects because I could scheme them, along with her carpets and home accessories a million different ways from Sunday. The fabric designs also grace […]
