At Sloane in London

02 . 22 . 24

A certain British interior designer has been decorating hotels all over Paris so it feels only fitting that a French interior has just designed the chicest and buzziest new hotel in London. At Sloane is a new hotel in Chelsea from Jean-Louis Costes, the man behind Hotel Costes, and Cadogan Estates who tapped legendary interior […]

If you ever loved any of Lee Radziwill’s homes, now one can be yours. Turville Grange in Henley, England has just gone on the market for 18,750,000 Pounds. She lived in the Grade II listed property from 1966-1974 after which it was sold to Henry Ford II and stayed in the Ford family since. It […]

I’ve been working on this post about the fashions that Sienna Miller wears in the upcoming Netflix series Anatomy of a Scandal before it is released on April 15, 2022 since I’ll be away then. It will also give you a jump start on buying anything she wears before anyone else even knows about the […]

According to Country Life magazine, Benham Park, an exquisite neo-Classical house in Berkshire was, a call centre, complete with plasterboard ceiling and fluorescent lighting until the interior design firm of Albion Nord worked their magic for Bluedoor Advisors. “Albion Nord was appointed to project manage, interior design, procure the FF&E and dress the house.

I watched the new film Silent Night that was written and directed by Camille Griffin over the weekend. It’s filled with lovely British actors like Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Annabelle Wallis, and Roman Griffin-Davis among others, who gather on Christmas Day in the English countryside. “As the group comes together, it feels like old times […]

When I saw this 17th-century Cotswold cottage of former Sotheby’s specialist and now interior designer James Mackie in House and Garden, I thought it looked familiar. Then I realized it was because I was following James on Instagram. My favorite accounts to follow are those in Europe and especially England since country living it’s such […]

My favorite part of fall, besides the fashions, are all the auctions and art fairs. There are always some spectacular sales and this year is no exception. This September, Christie’s will offer Jasper Conran: The Collection Parts I and II which will be filled his country house collections including those from his majestic apartment in […]

Snow in England

01 . 25 . 21

Just in case you don’t follow anyone in England on Instagram, they received a beautiful snowfall on Sunday and more on Monday. Some said it hasn’t snowed in their area in over two years. It looked very idyllic and I couldn’t resist posting some of my favorite images. We’re supposed to receive snow in New […]

Heavenly in Hampshire

11 . 04 . 20

Most of my ancestors came to America from England in the 17th-century. Sometimes, I think about what my life would be like if they hadn’t left. Would I have a lovely accent and live in house filled with chintz ? I sort of wish I was in this heavenly house in Hampshire right now instead […]

I’m excited for this week because there are a few new movies debuting online including Rebecca on Netflix today, On the Rocks on Apple TV on Friday, and The Undoing on HBO on Sunday. I watched the adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier’s novel Rebecca today starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, and Kristin Scott Thomas […]

During quarantine, I would often have insomnia and wake up at 3:00am and doomscroll Instagram. One of the accounts that helped me relax belonged to Jasper Conran in Dorset, England. He would post videos of his morning walk with his dog Minnow which were incredibly beautiful and relaxing and brought me so much comfort. That’s […]

Someone online asked if we really needed another version of Jane Austen’s Emma but this one is the colorful, amusing, charming, and delicious version we didn’t know we needed. Time declared that it “strikes just the right balance of modern and authentic” and I have to agree. Since my first post on Emma last week, […]

The newest film version of the 1815 Jane Austen classic Emma hits theaters in the United States tonight. I’m very excited to see the movie based on all the beautiful images I’ve seen so far from director Autumn de Wilde’s adaptation of Emma. According to AD, “de Wilde explained to her production crew that the […]

I was supposed to decorate my apartment for Christmas on Sunday but my gift guide took so long to put together that I didn’t have time. Seeing everyone’s houses decorated on Instagram is giving me major fomo now and none more so than Fairgreen Farm which is the home of Amanda Brooks. It’s just been […]

I posted about Badminton House last week without realizing it would be featured in the December 2019 issue of Vogue. Plum Sykes talked to the Duchess of Beaufort as she prepared for a weekend of parties and houseguests. Whereas most people have a few people stay in their one or two guest rooms, she was […]

How are you surviving Daylight Saving Time? I love the sunlight in the morning but I had to turn on every light in my apartment at 5:00pm which was depressing. I heard that you should go out in the sun for at least 10 minutes every day for vitamin D and to prevent Seasonal Affective […]

Instagram is the best travel agent and no one has made me want to plan a trip to visit the English countryside more than Mish Tworkowski. The fine jewelry designer of MISH has been posting beautiful bucolic scenes of gardens across England for the part two weeks. I can’t wait to see how this inspiration […]
