This post was supposed to go up yesterday but my internet had other ideas.

On Thursday, my wifi and television went out completely and when another technician came […]

Today marks the unofficial start of summer and chances are you are going away this long holiday weekend. I’m in the Hamptons and there are a lot of exciting new pop up shops opening this weekend. There are also fun events happening in New York for those of you visiting the city or when you […]

Normally, I would put together a list of new and noteworthy art exhibitions, events, movies, and more on Friday but I wanted to give you an early heads up for some of them since they will end on Sunday. I will also be covering the Kips Bay Decorator Show House and traveling this weekend which […]

I had planned to post my Mother’s Day Gift Guide last week but my time in Charleston got away from me. But don’t worry, you still have time to shop for the wonderful women in your life. Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 12th which gives you three weeks to pick out the perfect presents. […]

Hope your New Year is going well. I’ve spent the last week and a half trying to get back on track while also checking out art exhibitions and visiting new places in my spare time. I thought I’d share them in case you want to explore the city but I’ve included a few other options […]

My final favorite things gift guide for 2018 was supposed to go up last Tuesday but better late than never. You have a few more days to shop in order to have gifts delivered in time for Christmas so here are a few last minute gift ideas. I think it’s always nice to buy someone […]

Most of my favorite Instagram accounts are based in England and another one that I love is @goodwoodcurator. Helmed by James Peill, the account highlights the beautiful Goodwood House in West Sussex at which he is curator. The a former Christie’s vice-president and an English and Irish furniture specialist gives followers a glimpse into the historic estate […]

You have to bear with me because I’m still only a third of the way through Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend book so she’s constantly on my mind lately. This along with the feature on her Antigua home purchased by Tory Burch that I posted yesterday has me thinking about her decorating […]

It’s hard not to scroll through Instagram at night instead of reading but I’m trying to remedy this issue. I’ve […]
