All posts in autumn

I can’t believe we’re already into October. September seemed to go by in a flash. But it still feels a bit like summer. I can’t wait until it’s a little cooler and the leaves change. Until then, here’s some inspiration for the month. Camel Hair Blazer Double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend blazer Similar shawl collar cardigan […]

The temperature dropped today and really feels like fall now. That means it’s finally sweater weather. I was actually putting this sweater post together since Heidi Wynne launched her fair isle sweaters when they were featured on the cover of the menswear issue of How To Spend It. Fair Isle sweaters and their Icelandic counterparts […]

We’ve had a beautiful September so far and I’ve been wearing dresses and sandals in the warm weather. But it’s going to cool down this week which means a switch to jeans. Since it will still be sunny, white jeans are the perfect transitional piece and can be worn after Labor Day. Just see how […]

Welcome to the first day of Fall! Spring may last longer in New York but autumn is the city’s best season. Of course, it stays warm through October and we don’t see peak foliage until late October but that doesn’t mean it’s still not exciting. Here are some fall inspired images and fashions to get […]

My friend Heidi Wynne is probably known mostly to you for her cozy cashmere wraps and classic fisherman knit sweaters. She has been wanting to introduce fair isle sweaters for some time but waited until she could partner with the perfect sweater mill to bring her concepts to fruition. This led her to the oldest […]

We’ve had some beautiful weather this October and I made sure I went out for walks on all the sunny days. It was so nice to see so many homeowners and businesses decorate for fall and Halloween. The city is bustling and seems back to normal which feels so good. I can’t wait to see […]

Even though it’s autumn in New York, I’m thinking about springtime in Paris thanks to Emily in Paris and some other things going on this weekend and month. You will enjoy them no matter where you live. I’m finishing up my last day of Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet so I’ve been home all day binging […]

I can’t believe it’s October already. As sad as I am to wish away this year, the closer we get to 2021 makes me happy. This has been a rough year and every time I think it can’t get any worse, something manages to surprise me. On the bright side, the cooler and drier air […]

As promised, I’m going to try to post more flat lay outfit posts especially since some of my fall purchases are still in stock. A few pieces are no longer available but I’ve included similar options that in some cases are even better. Fisherman Knit Sweater – This one is from Heidi Wynne who is […]

The classic Aran fisherman knit sweater is a forever classic that always looks good for fall. While it was too warm on Nantucket to wear mine, I’m hoping that it will be feeling more crisp and cool for my upcoming trip to The Mayflower Inn. I’ve put together some traditional style sweaters and a few […]

Unlike last year when I was sweating on the first day of autumn, we are enjoying some beautiful crisp blue sky fall weather this year. It’s been so nice to actually be able wear cashmere sweaters and jeans with a jacket. I hope you enjoy this autumn inspiration no matter what your weather. Via Ralph […]

There is a chill in the air now and it is time to stock up on cozy cashmere scarves and wool sweaters. A luxurious cashmere wrap is the perfect accessory to liven up a Zoom call or wrap around your neck for a walk in the park or dinner outside. My friend Heidi Wynne is […]

The weather in New York usually stays warm until October so you can definitely wear white jeans past Labor Day if you style them for the season. That means putting away your pastels and straw beach bags and replacing them with neutrals, darker colors, and heavier fabrics. It’s the time to start wearing camel, suede, […]

La Rentrée or the reentry period after summer is my favorite time of year because it means that life begins again in earnest in New York. Usually, fashion week kicks off with big events and then the fashion shows start. In the following weeks, there are press previews, lunches, design events, cocktail parties, art exhibitions, […]

One of the most exciting collaborations for fall 2020 is Giuliva Heritage x H&M. I’ve been following Giuliva Heritage since the came onto the scene but their beautiful tailored pieces can be very expensive. The Giuliva Heritage x H&M collection has the same great look but at much more accessible prices. They suiting separates and […]

October in New York

10 . 28 . 19

This has been one of the nicest Octobers I can remember in New York. I’ve taken as many walks as possible to enjoy the sunshine and take photographs. Luckily, there seemed to be less gross Halloween decorations this year and more elegant seasonal decor. Here are some of my favorites from the Upper East Side […]

Sweater Weather

10 . 15 . 19

The temperatures in New York have been very cold each morning so my sweaters have been in heavy rotation. I’ve been layering them under blazers or light jackets since it usually warms up each afternoon. I’m especially loving fair isle sweaters for fall and have already bought two. I’m still trying to find a new […]
