There comes a point each summer when I want to burn my summer clothes. I have not reached that point yet but I am ready to start thinking about fall fashions and planning out my wardrobe. I’ve already started buying some things too so I thought I’d put together a first look post. I’m sure […]
It’s time for our annual Humidity Proof Hair post and the beginning of Leo season couldn’t be a better time, since Leos like Jennifer Lopez are known for their flowing locks. I actually started this post last week but I had some personal things to clear off my plate first. This post might actually be […]
We had some great looks on actress Jennifer Lawrence this week while she filmed a commercial on the streets on New York. Model Kendall Jenner returned from Paris, where she looked very ladylike, and also wore two great navy looks around NYC. The more I looked at the images together, I realized you could mix […]
I love following actress Melissa George who lives between Paris and Provence to give me my fix of France when I’m back in the US. Her 17th-century hôtel particulier, Callemant d’Autane, was renovated and restored with architectural designer Diego Delgado-Elias who wrote on Instagram, “We have carefully preserved original features such as frescoes and moldings. […]
I haven’t posted about natural fibers since 2021 so I thought it was time for a refresh. I’ve put together the chicest furniture, shoes, bags, and accessories in wicker, raffia, and straw to change up your outfits and your interiors this summer. Add a pop of color to your outdoor or indoor decor with this […]
Every since I first heard Julia Amory mention that her house was being photographed for Veranda, I’ve been waiting to see the feature and it’s finally here. The July/August 2023 issue of Veranda not only includes her Southampton house but also Palm Beach photographed by Nick Mele which you can see online. I especially love […]
Nondescript hotel decor that doesn’t reflect the city in which you are staying is anathema to me. Luckily, that definitely does not describe the J.K. Hotel Paris. I’ve been aware of the hotel since before it opened but I’m so glad I stopped by to see my friend Callie Stanton who was staying at the […]
I love the magazine How to Spend It, although, they just had an unfortunate rebrand to just HTSI. I’m sure this acronym means nothing people who are not familiar with the magazine included in the weekend edition of the Financial Times. They have a regular interview feature that was also called How to Spend It […]
There is nothing more exciting than finding a beautiful chateau in France that is also available to rent. Chateau d’Hebertot is an enchanting place in the heart of Normandy. A property rich in history, the first part of which was built by the family of the Knights of Nollent in the 17th century. This exceptional […]
Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I decided to put together some summer essentials to get you ready for the season. They can also give you a few ideas for Father’s Day and the Fourth of July too. If you need a little cover from the sun, this linen-cotton blend beach shirt […]
While I was in Paris in April, my friend Andrew and I were invited by Ralph Lauren Home to dine at Ralph’s at the Ralph Lauren store in Saint Germain. We were lucky to enjoy lunch at the restaurant before they closed for a month for refreshing. They have just reopened and enjoying a meal […]
I haven’t put together a color post since last year so I thought I’d create an ode to summer in honor of the long Memorial Day holiday weekend. @amy_stone Beach Set of Two Chairs and Umbrella – 20% off with code SPLASH @victoriahaganinteriors Nine Fair Backgammon Set Floral print Swiss-dot textured cotton-blend midi dress @amy_stone […]
You might not be familiar with the UK based brand ME+EM but after this post, you will want to make them part of your everyday wardrobe. Clare Hornby founded ME+EM on the principle that “modern women should not have to choose between quality and cost” and she has certainly succeeded. What I love most about […]
While Memorial Day is a time we should be remembering and honoring people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, it also signifies the unofficial start of summer in the US. But don’t forget to take some time to shop the Memorial Day Weekend Sales. I’ve rounded up all the best including […]
If yesterday’s airport travel outfit doesn’t work for you, I have a few other options for you today. I’m currently trying to get my ducks in a row for my next trip the Hamptons and my July trip to London so these are some of the things I’ve been eyeing, buying, and trying for May […]
The 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival is taking place in France right now and the airport arrival outfits in Nice are better than the fancy red carpet looks. Some of my favorites this week include Brie Larson in a chic Celine jacket, Uma Thurman in a tan suit, and Natalie Portman and French actress Laura […]
“In all of our projects”, says interior designer Timothy Corrigan, “we strive to create spaces that are comfortably elegant: where people feel that they are someplace special, while simultaneously feeling completely at ease. To that end, outdoor fabrics were used on the upholstered seating, along with a stain-resistant hide rug, to live up to the […]
