Serena Fresson posted a beautifully set spring table on Instagram this morning which made me think it was the perfect time to highlight her chic style. Serena is the mother of Alice Naylor-Leyland who I recently featured in the post Alice in Wonderland. It’s clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in […]

I’m not the only one celebrating a birthday this week. Queen Elizabeth II is turning 90 on April 21st. To celebrate the milestone, photographer Annie Leibovitz captured the Queen in three new iconic images.  The first shows her with her five great-grandchildren and two youngest grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at Buckingham Palace. The […]

If I had realized that the Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire auction was scheduled for Sotheby’s in London on the day I land in Paris, I would have revised my travel plans. But thanks to the wonders of technology, we can all see everything online and even bid remotely. Although, I think I will walk over to Sotheby’s today […]

While in Soho today, I picked up the winter issue of Town & Country UK. It’s chock full of chicness including two features set at Althorp, the family home of the late Princess Diana.  One is the recap of the gorgeous Ralph Lauren show and event held at the estate and the other is a fashion story […]

Caroline Sieber’s wedding to Fritz von Westenholz was one of the chicest I’ve ever seen so it’s no surprise that their new home in Notting Hill is also exceptional. The couple found inspiration in their respective family homes in Austria and England (which you can see on Vogue.com) to create their own colorful townhouse. “I had […]

I came across a photo of the kitchen of this home that I really loved before realizing the entire house was just as beautiful. The double-fronted Georgian townhouse was designed by Caroline Harrowby for a couple who had watched the house for years before it came up for sale. It features the comfortable relaxed design I love about […]

I was very excited to read this morning that Amanda Brooks’ blog I Love Your Style (also the name of her first book) is back up and running. Amanda is one of my favorite Instagram friends and I love following her not so new life on Fairgreen Farm in England. Her blog would delve more […]

When I was in London a few years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Ben Pentreath‘s very elegant office and chic shop Pentreath & Hall. Unfortunately, Ben was traveling so we weren’t able to meet but I feel like I’ve gotten to know him by following his Instagram account. It chronicles his London life but […]

This London flat was described by House & Garden as tiny but compared to what they try to pass off as apartments in NYC, it’s positively palatial. It was designed by Ann Boyd after she decided to downsize after she realized she was spending more time at her country house. To expand the space, she […]

Do ever feel like you know someone personally because you follow them on Instagram?  While I don’t know Christie’s Chief Content Officer Jeremy Langmead in real life, I’ve very much enjoyed following along as he decorated his new house in the English countryside.  So of course I was very excited when I saw the house featured […]

I’ve spent many of these cold winter days finally cleaning out the stacks of magazines in my apartment. While leafing through an old issue of UK Vogue, I came across the beautiful home of Jemma Kidd and her family. It was also featured in Elle Decor. The 18th-century house in Hampshire is on the property […]

I kept seeing images from the living room above on Tumblr and finally decided to investigate. Turns out they are from the home of Rosa Park and Rich Stapleton, the founder of Cereal magazine, that were featured on Freunde von Freunden. Not only is the apartment interesting but it’s location in Bath, England is a […]

I’m editing my photos from San Francisco and Napa Valley on the plane right now. (Don’t you just love modern technology?!) While I work on a few fun posts from my trip, I highly suggest you check out the English country cottage and London home of fabric and interior designer Robert Kime in T magazine. The drawing room of […]

Singing sensation and sometimes wild child Lily Allen seems to have settled down now that she’s married with two children.  She and her family have moved to the charming Cotswolds area about two hours from London.  Vogue featured the home in their September 2014 issue but I’ve also found a few more photos of the […]

I’m currently in London for a few days to meet up with my friend who’s in town from New York.  The city seems a little less hectic than it did when I was here last November. We’ve had great luck with the weather and played tourist in between shopping and eating.  Great restaurants to try […]

We just entered March but April magazines are already making their way to newsstands.  I’ll be stopping by Lexington News today to pick up all my favorites including Elle Decor.  The April issue features the very lovely home of model and makeup artist Jemma Kidd and her family in Hampshire, England. The wet English weather […]

Not only do I love to peruse auction catalogs for possible purchases but they are great sources for inspiration.  The Michael Inchbald: A Legacy of Design sale at Christie’s in London next week is yet another example.  I was not familiar with the British interior designer Michael Inchbald who passed away last year. He worked […]
