I’ve been trying to be more considerate about what I buy lately but I did buy a few things with an eye to the transitional weather and spring events and travel. I don’t wear black except for evening and have been wearing a J.Crew x Marie Marot navy pair of trousers all winter. Since they […]
February feels like it’s flying by but there’s still a lot of new things to do, see, watch, and try this month. The Madison Avenue Diptyque store took over the neighboring space and renovated to create one of the most beautiful boutiques in the city now and the biggest Diptyque store in the US. The […]
I’m still using a lot of the makeup I bought last fall but I’ve made a few changes so I thought I’d walk you through my new routine for fall 2023. Of course, you need a good base for makeup and I take skincare very seriously. You can find the products I use and treatments […]
I bought quite a few things for my April trip to Paris when the forecast was showing warmer weather but I ended up not packing any of them when it became clear that it would be rather chilly. I had the cool grey weather this year that I was expecting last year but it was […]
Back by popular demand is my annual post of what I’ve bought myself for Christmas with a bonus of what I bought myself in Paris. With a few other purchases thrown in for good measure. I had originally intended to buy a Max Mara Icon Coat in Paris because all Max Mara coats in Europe […]
I’ve had a lot of questions about what I plan to pack for my Thanksgiving trip to Paris. Even though I don’t leave for five weeks, I’ve been trying to get my wardrobe in order so I’m not racing around at the last minute. I’m very glad I started early too because the tailor I […]
Even though we just got out of a heat wave, I’ve already been shopping for fall. I always joke that if you’re not sweating when you’re buying a coat, you’re doing it wrong because by the time you actually need one, they will be sold out. I’ve put together a few transitional outfits for fall […]
Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend! I know a lot of people will be leaving the city this weekend but there are a lot of things happening for those who have decided to stay or those who will be visiting. I’m not really that into orchids but Jeff Leatham, famed artistic director of the […]
I can’t believe there are only 12 more days until Christmas. I have so many things to do before then that I’m a little stressed out about how I’m going to get it all done. If you’re behind on things like shopping, there are quite a few wonderful pop ups worth visiting in New York […]
Did you watch The Last Days of John F. Kennedy, Jr. last week? The best part was seeing videos of him with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. We normally see photos of her running away from the paparazzi so it was nice to see her smiling and actually hear her voice. It’s also amazing that her fashion […]
Chanel always has beautiful fashion shows but the Spring/Summer 2018 Haute Couture show at the Grand Palais in Paris was especially lovely. Karl Lagerfeld imagined a French garden with traditional trellises of climbing roses surrounding a fountain. Guests sat on park benches and models walked down stone paths. It was the perfect backdrop to the […]
Everything But the House is known for their amazing auctions of furniture, art, and objects but they also offer a wide range of amazing fashions and accessories. Just launched today is the Marilyn Lewis Designer Fashion Collection full of vintage treasures. Marilyn Lewis is described as “a woman ahead of her time” who co-founded Hamburger […]
I’ve written about my skincare routine a few times but realized that I have never shared my makeup routine. I think taking good care of your skin is essential for makeup application and the ability to use less products but I always wear something. Even if I’m going to the gym, I’ll apply a little […]
I’ve been posting some of my beauty products on Instagram Stories and was requested by readers to post about my skincare routine. I wrote a post almost exactly two years ago so it’s definitely time for an updated post since I have changed some of my products. I also just spent the weekend on a beauty press trip […]
When I changed over my closet from summer to fall recently, I decided to sell a few pieces I no longer wear on Vestiaire. Unlike any other luxury resale site, Vestiaire authenticates every piece at their headquarters before it is sent to the buyer so you can rest assured that your purchase is the real deal. […]
“I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little – if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny. And it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.” – Coco Chanel (19 August 1883 – […]
I had France on the brain after yesterday’s chateau post and so did One Kings Lane. They posted an entire feature on the Secrets of French Decorating and I’m picking out my favorite pieces for to add a Parisian chic touch to your home. Aiden Peekaboo Gray Velvet Sofa Oval Brass Coffee Table Faux Rose Arrangment in […]
