Marigay McKee left her life in London and her job at Harrods, where she had worked for 15 years, in 2013 to take on the president position at Saks Fifth Avenue. I was wondering what she was going to do after leaving the retail giant and Harper’s Bazaar has the scoop on her new firm MM Luxe […]

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2015 opens to the public today and you are going to love all the rooms. I had the pleasure of viewing the house on Tuesday and thought all spaces looked amazing.

I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful dinner last evening to celebrate the May 2015 Style and Design issue of the WSJ. Magazine at the brand new Edition Hotel in New York. It was a perfect combination of style and design in a wonderfully chic setting. I have stayed at the Edition hotels in […]
Today was a busy day full of events including the always wonderful Housing Works Design on a Dime. Each year designers create room vignettes full of donated furniture, art, and accessories to benefit Housing Works, the non-profit charity helping those with HIV/AIDS and the homeless. There were a lot of great spaces but I really […]
A sure sign that antiques and modern art can coexist is the dining room at the Sotheby’s Showhouse that was designed by Russell Piccione. A George II Side Table, Consoles, Chimeypiece, George III Chairs, and silver serving and display pieces, look perfectly at home with works by Chuck Close, Alex Katz, Andy Warhol, and James Rosenquist.

‘Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Sometimes it seems like there is nothing new to discover online. Every person and interior has been posted ad nauseam. But leave it to T magazine to feature a story in their new Design Issue about Nicola Del Roscio, Cy Twombly’s long time assistant and now president of the Cy Twombly Foundation and his home […]
I’m running out of room for art in my apartment. The only room with available wall space is my bathroom so I’m contemplating an arrangement of black and white photos. The floor is black and white tile so I’ve worked around that theme and added in touches of blue. I’ve just not decided yet if […]
Before J.Crew opened their new Paris store last week, they held a spring 2015 preview and soiree in a beautiful Haussmann apartment at 5 rue de Tilsitt. It was filled with chic furniture and art posters from Cy Twombly and Julian Schnabel from Yvon Lambert Galerie. While M. Lambert closed his larger art gallery, there is still a small […]
I keep seeing yellow everywhere I look online lately. Maybe it’s a reaction to the grey and cold winter months but it is a cheerful and hopeful color. According to Sensational Color, the color yellow “shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance […]
Sorry for the lack of posts the last two days. The power cord on my laptop fried and I couldn’t face the Apple store craziness until today. I know a lot of you are on holiday and traveling so it seems like a good time to keep things light anyway. I will definitely have a […]
As someone who studied art history, I obviously have a love of everything artistic. I will admit that even I don’t understand some contemporary art though. My visit to Art Basel has opened my eyes to many new artists and galleries. I hope to recap my trip soon and introduce you to some of what […]
I’m off to Miami this morning for Art Basel. It’s my first time attending and I’m looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. From what I hear it’s more about the parties than the actual art but I will let you know. I’m excited to be staying at the new Miami Beach […]
When everyone found out I was visiting San Francisco, they all suggested I should visit the store MARCH on Sacramento Street. They are known for their very chic selection of products that include tabletop pieces, cookware, furniture, art, and even some clothing. They are very particular about photos but allowed me to take some to share […]
Speaking of the holidays. I was excited to be asked to curate a holiday gift guide for One Kings Lane that includes lots of chic gift ideas for your friends and family, as well as yourself. It also includes a few of my gift giving tips to help you navigate what to get for everyone […]
After trying to make it to every museum in Paris this summer, I realized that there are a few museums I still haven’t visited in New York. One of the first I am headed is The Jewish Museum to see the new exhibition Helena Rubinstein: Beauty is Power exhibition. It is the first exhibition to […]
