When I posted about A Perfect Murder last week, I mentioned that one of the locations used was Salutation House in Glen Cove, Long Island. It sits on a 46-acre private island also named Salutation and was for sale in 2017. It’s been used for a few television shows and movies so I thought it […]

When I was thinking about visiting Old Westbury Gardens (more to come on the blog soon), I reached out to Preston Davis of Keep it Chic because I knew she lived in the area. Not only did she arrange a tour of Old Westbury Gardens but she took me on a tour of various  Gold […]

I’m headed out to Sag Harbor today for some much needed R&R. In honor of my trip, I’m reposting the famous Hannibal French House on Captain’s Row from my trip in 2015. As always, you can follow all my fun out east on Instagram and Stories. One of the most amazing old homes in Sag […]

The Library

I’m having the hardest time getting back on track after my recent travels. This morning, I just realized that Christmas is in a week and a half so I have a lot to do in a short amount of time. I also need to get back  on track with blogging. Until I can edit all […]

Place of Peace

The East Hampton home where Jackie Bouvier Kennedy spent her childhood summers can now be yours. The 11-acre estate on Further Lane known as Lasata which is a Native American word for Place of Peace was designed by architect Arthur C. Jackson in 1917. It was purchased by Delphine and Reed Krakoff in 2007 and was extensively […]

A Fashionable Garden

08 . 10 . 16

I want to thank everyone who sent get well wishes online. Now that I’m finally feeling a little better, I want nothing more than to get back outside. Unfortunately, it’s going to be hazy, hot, and humid for the next few days which means it’s the perfect time to head out east. The family compound […]

I’m arrived in Sag Harbor today for much needed getaway. It’s my favorite place in the Hamptons and always makes me so happy.  I already checked out the new Jayson Home Pop Up Shop, Bloom, and all the charming houses along Main Street. I’m staying at Baron’s Cove again which has also become a favorite place […]

I knew it was coming but I’m still sad that Aero Studios is leaving their home in Soho after almost 25 years to move to 200 Lexington. The good news is that they are having a moving sale that I can’t wait to shop. Until I can get there, I’m taking a look at Thomas […]

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is the title of a 1974 movie staring Ellen Burstyn who plans to travel from New Mexico to California with her son to live. She never makes it but my dear friend Alice Ryan Miller and her family have successfully made the move from New York to Montecito, California. It was the […]

Hermione Voyage 2015

07 . 02 . 15

Whether you will be in New York City for the Fourth of July holiday or out on Long Island, I highly recommend you make time to visit the Hermione. The tall ship is an “exact replica of General Lafayette’s 18th-century ship called the Hermione. Today, the majestic vessel is the largest and most authentically built […]

The idea of planning a big expensive wedding gives me hives.  But I also don’t want to get married at City Hall which is why I love finding chic and elegant weddings for inspiration. Interior designer Asia Baker’s Oyster Bay wedding featured on Vogue is one that’s definitely going in my file for future reference. […]

I’ve been staying with my friend Alice Ryan and her cute kids out on the North Fork of Long Island this week.  (You might remember Alice is married to Kirk Miller of Miller’s Oath who I profiled here.) Alice was kind enough to introduce me to some of the local shops including North Found & […]

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 […]
