My final favorite things gift guide for 2018 was supposed to go up last Tuesday but better late than never. You have a few more days to shop in order to have gifts delivered in time for Christmas so here are a few last minute gift ideas. I think it’s always nice to buy someone […]

Holiday events start right after the Thanksgiving holiday for me so this weekend I’m laying out some of my looks.There is nothing worse than getting ready for a party and realizing you are missing a key element. My new go to dress this season is this black and gold J. McLaughlin Kaya Swing Dress. It’s […]

The start of the holiday season for me is when Bergdorf Goodman unveils their amazing holiday windows. This year they have partnered with Swarovski on their “Brilliant Holiday” theme using millions of the company’s famous crystals. David Hoey, senior director of visual presentation, and his team work all year on the windows and the effort is greatly […]

I still can’t believe that Thanksgiving is next week. It also means that holiday parties will be in full swing very soon. If you’re looking for a shimmery party dress to wear to an event or a cozy gift to give, J.McLaughlin has everything you need to embrace the season and its sentiments. And if this next […]

One of the best things about staying in New York over Christmas is the beautiful and festive decorations.  Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows they are my favorite thing to photograph. My only regret is that I was too busy to make it to the West Village so these are all from the Upper […]

Holiday at Home

12 . 23 . 14

I enjoy reading Tory Daily, the blog on designer Tory Burch‘s website, especially when it includes photos of her entertaining at home. Everyone loves her New York apartment but it looks even more beautiful when it’s decorated for Christmas.  The green living room walls are the perfect backdrop and adds to the festive look. I’ve […]

I love receiving fashion designer Jenni Kayne‘s blog Rip + Tan, named after her children.  It’s full of healthy recipes, interesting profiles, and eco-friendly advice.  Maybe it’s because she and her family live in California. I’m also still in awe of her organizational skills that were on display in Martha Stewart Living magazine.  So there […]

  I couldn’t think of a more fun person to contribute a California chic and casual gift guide than interior designer, entertaining expert, and store owner Nathan Turner. As many of you probably saw of the show Million Dollar Decorators, he’s extremely funny and down to earth. I really think they should create a show […]

I was looking for holiday images when I came across photos of Christmas at Swan House.  Some show the gorgeous decorations that Dan Carithers created that were featured in an old issue of Southern Accents and some are new. They are all spectacular and make me want to book a trip to Atlanta asap. Since […]

There was no question that interior designer Ryan Korban would be the perfect person to write a luxury holiday gift guide. He is known for his glamorous interiors not just for the home but for retail stores such as Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. What I love most is that his look is sexy and elegant […]

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style In the air There’s a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights […]

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 […]

Christmas Chic

12 . 21 . 13

Finding out who designed a room you found on tumblr is like a treasure hunt.  But sometimes it’s worth the effort.  I love the Christmas decorations that David Phoenix used in his 2011 dining room at the Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles.  Most of you who don’t live in the big city can probably find […]

The Christmas Issue

12 . 20 . 13

Fashionista.com featured old Christmas covers from the magazines on their site and I thought some of them were worth reposting. They are charming and sweet and make me wistful for the days before celebrities started staring out from the newsstands.  Happy Holidays!

Winter Wonderland

12 . 18 . 13

It snowed again this week in New York.  It’s putting everyone in the holiday mood even more but the constant 27 degree temperature is getting a bit hard to take. One of my friends asked me if I wanted to travel somewhere warm after New Year’s and I couldn’t say yes fast enough.  Until that […]
