I was supposed to decorate my apartment for Christmas on Sunday but my gift guide took so long to put together that I didn’t have time. Seeing everyone’s houses decorated on Instagram is giving me major fomo now and none more so than Fairgreen Farm which is the home of Amanda Brooks. It’s just been […]

Amanda Brooks was supposed to move to her husband’s native England with her family for just one year in 2012. Not only are they still there, she just opened a lifestyle shop in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds.  Cutter Brooks carries a carefully curated mix of vintage items like fair isle sweaters and new pieces from Atelier […]

I Love Her Style

09 . 23 . 15

I was very excited to read this morning that Amanda Brooks’ blog I Love Your Style (also the name of her first book) is back up and running. Amanda is one of my favorite Instagram friends and I love following her not so new life on Fairgreen Farm in England. Her blog would delve more […]

It’s been years since I’ve seen Amanda Brooks in person so it was lovely to catch up with her at a private book signing for Always Pack a Party Dress: And Other Lessons Learned from a (Half) Life in Fashion  last week. The book is perfect for our ADD-lack-of-attention-span new world. It’s filled with memoir […]

I was very excited to see Amanda Brooks post the cover of her upcoming book, Always Pack a Party Dress: And Other Lessons Learned From a (Half) Life in Fashion, on Instagram this morning.  The book is only available for pre-order right now so I’m going to have to figure out who I need beg […]

Cabin Fever

12 . 12 . 14

I really thought I would be feeling better by now but I’m still sick. I’m starting to have cabin fever from staying home more than usual but I’m also having real cabin fever.  Pinterest was full of snowy winter cabins this morning that had me wishing I was visiting one this holiday season. It also […]

Pretty Pictures

When you live in a country without a J.Crew, you will inevitably find yourself at Zara.  Luckily they have a lot of cute dresses for summer including the strapless denim dress that Amanda Brooks is wearing above. Amanda was photographed in Croatia by her artist husband Christopher Brooks for Zara Pictures.  Seeing the clothing on […]

Off the Beaten Path

The Selby posted photos of Amanda Brooks‘s idyllic home in Oxforshire, England yesterday and although I’ve posted some before, they were too good not to post again. Especially, since they they are full of green fields and blooming flowers and we’re scheduled for more snow. If you don’t remember, Amanda and her family moved to […]

Chic in the Cotswolds

When I picked up the November 2013 Style Guide from J.Crew, I thought something looked familiar.  On closer inspection, I realized that it was photographed around the home of Amanda Brooks.  Not only that, her husband, the artist Christopher Brooks and her daughter Coco were among the models, in addition to their horses and dog […]

I’ve only met Amanda Brooks once but she’s one of those people you feel like you know since they are such a part of life in New York. She recently announced that she and her family will be moving from the city to live in England for a year.  There is much speculation about how […]

Brooks and Barneys

Last week, Barney’s named Amanda Cutter Brooks their new women’s fashion director.  Sometimes she’s just seen as a socialite but Amanda was previously creative director for Tuleh and Hogan.  She’s also contributed to Vogue and Men’s Vogue.  She also wrote the great book, I Love Your Style.  As my friend Jessica Gold pointed out, “she’s […]

I was thinking how nice it would be to post a something snowy on this first day of winter and magically, the perfect house came to me.  APT with LSD on Vogue.com toured the family home of Amanda Brooks in the Adirondacks.  Looks like a beautiful place to spend Christmas.  For all the details, check […]
