Finding out who designed a room you found on tumblr is like a treasure hunt. But sometimes it’s worth the effort. I love the Christmas decorations that David Phoenix used in his 2011 dining room at the Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles. Most of you who don’t live in the big city can probably find […]
While you all were getting sick eating too much candy last night, I was really sick with a terrible sore throat. While I recover and try to get caught up on my blog posts, enjoy these chic and simple holiday decorations from the Upper East Side. Remember, pumpkins aren’t just for Halloween. Bon weekend!

New York fashion week just ended yesterday and I’m definitely still recovering. While I take a moment to finally catch up on my emails and edit my photos, I leave you with this fashionable abode. Domaine Home posted some photos this week and it reminded me how much I love this apartment owned by the […]
As I mentioned, I have spent most of the week with Alice Ryan and her five year old son and 16 month old daughter. It was a great introduction to the North Fork and a crash course in child rearing. I have a new found appreciation for all parents and especially those who have boys […]
I cordially invite those of you in town for NY Now to stop by Dempsey and Carroll to see and hopefully order my new Habitually Chic stationery collection. I will be in the store from 9:30-11:30am so please stop by for mimosas and macarons to celebrate. There will also be a limited number of copies of my […]
The best part of Sag Harbor is the car watching. This cute Karmann Ghia was one of the best I saw and makes me want one immediately. Of course, that would mean this New Yorker would have to start driving again so maybe I should start practicing in preparation. Bon weekend! Photos by Heather Clawson […]
You know you’re almost in the Hamptons when you pass the Stargazer sculpture above. Depending on cell service, which is always spotty out East, I’ll be posting pics this weekend on Instagram at @habituallychic. Until then, here are some photos from a few of my recent trips to the Hamptons. Bon weekend!
I’m a huge proponent of “to each his own” but whenever I see fashion bloggers in their technicolor outfits, endless arm parties, and unnatural nail art, I want to run screaming in the opposite direction. I think that’s why I have an affinity for the French editors. My new favorite is Capucine Safyurtlu, the fashion […]
Whatever you are doing this long holiday weekend, I hope you are having as much fun as Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon are having in these photos from 1968. They were taken on the yacht of Eric Tabarly and at lunch with famed music producer Eddie Barclay. Don’t they just epitomize effortless chic? Bon weekend! […]
My first day in Paris involved a little rain that later turned into a heavy shower. I’m glad I got out and about around Saint Germain and the Louvre before it sent me back to my hotel for warmth. I usually don’t like to photograph people but some of these are my favorites since they […]

It’s supposed to be almost 80 degrees in New York today which would make it a great day to visit the Frieze Art Fair on Randall’s Island. Over 180 of the world’s leading galleries will be exhibiting their works inside and out and some of New York’s best restaurants are on hand when you need […]
The weather in New York could not be more beautiful and it will continue all weekend. Hooray! The Park Avenue tulips above are standing tall and proud all along the Upper East Side. While this dapper gentleman and most of the city were enjoying some time in the sun. Many interior designers like Kathryn Ireland […]
The weather is beautiful so why not pick up a copy of the Wall Street Journal with the WSJ magazine inside and head to the park. Bon weekend!
Since I work for myself and don’t go to an office everyday, I don’t need to dress up unless I have a meeting. My daily go to “uniform” always revolves around dark jeans paired with a blouse or blazer. This has been working especially well since the weather is not yet warm enough for dresses. […]
