I can’t believe it’s almost November which means almost times for special events, holiday parties, and get togethers. It also means you will need something to wear and ME+EM has you covered with many chic options whether you like to be a little dressed up or a lot. As I’ve mentioned a few times, red […]

I was happy to see statement earrings on the Spring 2024 fashion week runways so I could feel confident that my purchases would still be in style next year. That also means you can feel assured if you want to add a pair or two or four to your wardrobe to update your look. They […]

I started to suspect that thick and chunky gold necklaces would be big soon after seeing them at the couture shows in Paris this past July. My suspicions were confirmed this week aftering seeing them on most of the attendees at Copenhagen Fashion Week. They’re an easy way to transition your outfits for the end […]

I’ve started wearing a Revere Signet Ring and thought it might be nice to put together a post together on the history and etiquette of how to wear them. I took this photo of gold Byzantine signet rings from 900-1300 inscribed with Greek at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to The History Press, signet […]

It’s always around the end of July that I start to get sick of my colorful summer clothes and begin to reach for neutrals. It’s also around this time that I try to take advantage of the final days of sale season. There are still a a lot of good pieces left this year. I’ve […]

Not everyone can afford to hire the famed French interior designer and architect Jean-Louis Deniot to decorate their home but now you can experience his chic design style at the Hotel Nolinski in Paris. The soothing shades of greens and greys mixed with gold create a perfect respite after a day of exploring the City of […]

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.

Tiffany and Co. has a chic new design director, Francesca Amfitheatrof, who is creating quite a buzz. She’s lived and traveled around the globe and brings this experience to the venerable American brand. One of her first collections, Tiffany T, was inspired by the power, energy, and daring nature of the city and pays tribute […]

One of the other occupations I toy with trying is jewelry designer.  Since I don’t have the time or energy to take jewelry making classes, I get to indulge my fantasy on Gemvara. Each piece of Gemvara jewelry is customizable in over 20 different natural gemstones and nine different precious metals. Once you’ve designed your piece, […]

I had the pleasure of sitting at Aerin Lauder‘s table at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House President’s dinner last week. Also seated at the table were Mara Miller and Jessie Carrier of Carrier & Company. Jessie showed me some pictures of their sitting room and I immediately loved it.  What’s funny though is that […]

The full moon overnight Wednesday into Thursday is the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. Folklore called it the Harvest Moon since so many crops would be harvested around this time. That got me thinking about wheat which is a symbol of bountiful harvest and prosperity. Even though everyone in […]

I was walking down Madison Avenue Thursday afternoon and saw the chicest woman.  Based on the necklace, I had a feeling it was French jewelry designer Aurelie Bidermann.  I’m not one to approach strangers on the street though so I just kept walking.  But after a few glasses of champagne at the WSJ Magazine five […]

I posted on black and gold back in November but the color combination is still inspiring me.  This time it’s also mixed with a little white and maybe a touch of wood or marble. Black was big fashion look off the runway at Paris Fashion Week which is probably why I can’t stop thinking about […]

This post started out as a look at brass hardware and faucets but morphed into a little more. Like a magpie or Marie Antoinette, I can’t resist anything gold or shiny.  Bon weekend! Frends Taylor Gold Headphones Liz Cabral in Balmain pants.  Kelly Wearstler in Elle Decor.  Madonna Miu Miu print Jenna Lyons Sara Story […]

Every time I used to see anything black and gold, I would think of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  But I think these pics prove it can work for more than football uniforms. It was seen all over the fall/winter runways and also works well for interiors.  And you definitely can’t go wrong with anything black and […]

I’ve never met anything gold and shiny that I didn’t like, including all the furniture and decorative accents in this Parisian apartment. It is owned by Delfina Delettrez whose mother is Silvia Venturini Fendi, one of those fabulous fashion Fendis.  Looks like chicness runs in the family and her taste in antiques is perfect for […]
