Some people’s homes get featured a million times and others seem to sit quietly under the radar. The latter is why I was very excited to see Patricia Herrera Lansing’s apartment featured on APT with LSD on Vogue.com. In case you don’t know, Patricia is the daughter of my style idol Carolina Herrera. The chicness […]
When someone from Elizabeth Street Mom invited me to a launch event for their new site, my first response was “you know I don’t have kids right?” But then I remembered that many of my readers do. The site is billed as “the place where stylish moms meet” and it is a chic alternative to all […]
Some of you will take a look at these photos and think I’ve completely lost my marbles. Others of you who have seen Game of Thrones on HBO will immediately understand. I only just saw season one a few weeks ago during a marathon but was instantly hooked. I had to watch the episodes a […]
You’d think after all the times I’ve posted about interior designer Steven Gambrel that someone would have thought to send me a press release about his new book. Luckily, I saw Steven Gambrel: Time & Place in a magazine and took a good look at it in a bookstore last week. Not only is is […]
I’m busy finishing up the text portion of my book so it can go to print soon and feeling a bit too frazzled to write a proper post today. I came across this Zadie Smith On Writing post on tumblr and it seemed like a perfect fit for today. It actually came from an article […]
I went out for a walk last week when it was 75 degrees so I could photograph spring in New York. The trees on every street are in bloom and Central Park was bursting with color. I thought these would make a perfect post to cheer everyone up on this grey and much chillier morning. […]

Merchandise Mart Properties table above and below designed by DesignLush Input Creative Studio Domoore Designs Artistic Tile table designed by Thom Filicia Tilton Fenwick Nile Johnson for Philosophy Design Studio & Cheryl Umbles for Perspective Interiors RDYC Interior Design + […]
Since there were so many lovely tables and I took so many photos, I’m going to split by DIFFA Dining by Design coverage up into a few posts. Since it’s spring and the Architectural Digest table is full of flowers, I thought I would begin with them. The chairs are from Restoration Hardware and the […]
DIFFA‘s Dining by Design is always one of my favorite events and this year the tables are even more spectacular than usual. It was very exciting to see Jonathan Adler‘s design for the Kravet table which features his new fabric collection. It won’t be released until the fall so you’re getting an exclusive sneak peek. […]
It’s always fun to see a home featured in a magazine in which you’ve actually seen in person. I was lucky enough to be invited to a charity event that was held in the home of Alfredo Parades and Brad Goldfarb that is the cover story for the April issue of Architectural Digest. Many people […]
As soon as I saw these Charles Philip slippers in the new Bergdorf Goodman shoe catalog, I knew I must make them mine. I popped up to the 5th Floor yesterday and was even more impressed with them in person. They were created in Shanghai by Charles Philip using shirting fabric and are still all […]
I don’t think it’s a secret that designer Kelly Wearstler‘s Hillcrest home in Los Angeles is on the market. But I did come across more photos today thanks to a little story on Curbed. They show more of the gardens and pool area than I’ve seen previously. I know not all of you will love […]
I flew to Chicago for a meeting Sunday afternoon and instead of connecting to the wifi and doing work, I relaxed and read my new magazines. One of my favorite spreads in the April issue of Vogue featured Kate Moss in the Hôtel Ritz in Paris. It was shot by photographer Tim Walker who is known for […]
“When after the Winter alarmin’, The Spring steps in so charmin’, So fresh and arch In the middle of March, Wid her hand St.Patrick’s arm on…” – Alfred Percival Graves
It’s been warm and wonderful in New York until today. It’s a bit grey and looks like rain but as we know, without a little rain, nothing will grow. As I was trying to put together a spring garden post, I found a folder of photos that I posted last year. I made some minor […]
The warmer weather in New York has me dying for the new fall fashions I previewed at Club Monaco last week. The lovely green shades and stripes had me at hello and will start arriving in stores in July. The rest will continue into August and September. The most exciting thing I learned is that […]
I received a lot of great comments and emails about my friend’s condo makeover project. One reader sent a question that I thought warranted a full post. “I don’t mean this to sound critical but it will. It is a genuine question so here goes- I keep hearing what you want which is different from […]
