Last Thursday, I attended my first event since before the pandemic. It was a beautiful dinner to celebrate the launch of The Virginia Collection, a tableware inspired by Virginia, where Cece Barfield Thompson quarantined during the pandemic. The table for the dinner was set with all the pieces she designed including embroidered linens, porcelain hand-painted […]
If you’re looking for the perfect hostess gift or an update for your summer table, Williams-Sonoma is currently offering 30% off the Aerin Collection. I love the patterned plates and wicker accessories. There is definitely something for everyone. And this is not a sponsored post. Just a public service announcement.
Aerin Lauder’s latest collection for Williams Sonoma Home has just launched and I think it might actually be better than her first. I love the addition of green to the blue and white mix and the new scalloped bedding. If you’re still trying to put your Easter table together or plan your spring and summer […]

Easter falls a little earlier this year on April 1st so I’ve put together a few of my favorites to help you get ready for the holiday. Damask Bunny Salad Plates Tulip and […]
“I have to tell you, I am in love with beauty. I have always loved beautiful objects.” This is the opening of Valentino’s new book Valentino: At the Emperor’s Table from Assouline. It perfectly sets the tone for the gorgeous photographs of the dining tables and spaces at his many homes. If you’ve ever seen the documentary, […]
I like the fashions at Club Monaco but ever since they updated the design of the stores, I go just as much for interior inspiration as I do to shop for clothes. Now they have combined the best of both worlds with their new pop up home shop in Southampton. There is a mix of […]

Bonpoint, the chicest children’s brand from France, opened a new store in Soho and hosted a dinner party afterward designed by my […]
The warmer temperatures are a great time to lighten up not only your wardrobe but also your home. It’s the perfect opportunity to pull out your blue and white china or buy a few pieces. The best places to find it in New York are Pearl River Mart and William Wayne. Happy Spring! Didier Haspeslagh […]
When I visited my dear friend Alice Ryan at her home on the North Fork last summer, she laid out a beautiful table with her blue and white china for a casual late lunch. I told her that she didn’t have to go to any trouble for me when she politely informed that she sets […]
If there is one person I return to every year for Christmas inspiration, it’s Carolyne Roehm. She designs some of the most elegant spaces and decorates them for the holidays to match. She’s been posting more of her entertaining examples on her site and the different color combinations prove that there is more to Christmas […]
In case you need a little last minute autumn and entertaining inspiration, this is probably the last of it until we move onto Christmas. I will be in London for Thanksgiving which seems rather ironic. I’m excited to get away but I will miss the pumpkin pie. Hope one of you will save me a […]
Since my friends and I will all be out of town for Thanksgiving, we plan to get together for dinner before we leave. Even though there are a million restaurants in New York, it’s always nice to plan a dinner party at home where you can be as boisterous as you want without bothering the […]
