It’s been years since I’ve seen Amanda Brooks in person so it was lovely to catch up with her at a private book signing for Always Pack a Party Dress: And Other Lessons Learned from a (Half) Life in Fashion  last week. The book is perfect for our ADD-lack-of-attention-span new world. It’s filled with memoir […]

Summer Sale Selections

05 . 28 . 15

Right now, everything is on sale everywhere.  Well, maybe not everything but there are a lot of amazing fashions on sale at Net-a-Porter, Barneys, and Bergdorf Goodman online.  I’m sharing a few of my favorites and the best part is that you have the entire summer left to wear them. One of the brands that […]

It feels like the weather has bypassed spring and moved straight to summer.  I would be more excited about the warmer temperatures if I felt like my closet was also ready. If you’re in the same boat as me or just want to add a few new chic pieces to your warm weather wardrobe, I […]

Everyone always asks me what I pack and for this trip to Costa Rica, it was all sleeveless dresses and beach cover ups. The weather has been in the 90’s which isn’t that bad once you get used to it or can jump in the pool.  Sunscreen is also extremely important since we’re so close […]

Many fashion designers make the foray into home design but now shelter darlings Serena & Lily has just debuted their first fashion collection.  It’s filled with dresses, separates, and accessories perfect for spring and summer.  Some of the prints were inspired by those already offered for the home. “My vision for this collection started with […]

Dior and I Documentary

04 . 09 . 15

I love a good fashion documentary so I am especially excited to see Dior and I this weekend. The film is by Freédéric Tcheng who was also behind Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel and Valentino: The Last Emperor both of which garnered much praise. Dior and I follows designer Raf Simons and his team for […]

Jeans Stories

04 . 02 . 15

The other thing I need to buy for spring are new jeans. I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Herman Bishop, one of the founders of Jean Stories, at a dinner in Paris.  She gave me a few suggestions for new styles that I look forward to trying now that I no longer have to […]

Sandals Season

04 . 01 . 15

It’s not sandals season just yet especially since we had snow flurried yesterday mixed in with the rain.  But I always think it’s a good idea to get a jump start on the season so you can buy what you want in your size before they sell out.  I am sad that my favorite Christian […]

Even though we’re supposed to be getting more snow tomorrow in New York, I’m still planning my wardrobe for Spring. I have to make sure I’m covered for upcoming events like Easter, my birthday, and a few trips.  While you may think that Burberry London only make trench coats, they also offer beautiful dresses and separates […]

As many of you know, visiting Paris never gets old.  Even though I lived in the City of Light for three months last summer, this most recent trip was still exciting and action packed.  The fact that is was Paris Fashion Week meant there was a palpable electricity in the air and everywhere we went we […]

I was very excited to see Amanda Brooks post the cover of her upcoming book, Always Pack a Party Dress: And Other Lessons Learned From a (Half) Life in Fashion, on Instagram this morning.  The book is only available for pre-order right now so I’m going to have to figure out who I need beg […]

HATCH Special Discount

02 . 20 . 15

There is nothing I’ve been loving more this cold and snowy winter than shopping online, especially when things are on sale. Lucky for you, my lovely sponsor HATCH is giving HC readers a special 20% off their fall collection so you can shop before it goes on sale to the public next Tuesday.  You can use […]

It’s really hard to look and feel chic when the windchill is 0 degrees but the fashion flock are doing a pretty good job this fashion week. Except for those wearing sandals with bare legs on snowy days. They just look stupid. I’ve tried to put together some of the more appropriate yet interesting looks. I […]

Tie One On

02 . 12 . 15

Even though it’s still snowing in the Northeast, I’m thinking about what shoes I want to buy for spring.  After I saw Sincerely Jules above in the Aquazzura Christy Leather Point Toe Flats, I knew these might be a contender.  While comfortable to walk in, the ties elevate the flat shoes to something a little more […]

Trademark Grows Up

02 . 11 . 15

It’s always fun to watch the development of a fashion brand and see them evolve and grow.  I liked Trademark when they first debuted but the new Fall 2015 collection looks like everything has really come together.  I especially love the coats and that red dress.  While some of the shapes might be classic, the details […]

Going Dutch

02 . 08 . 15

The spring magazines are starting to hit the newsstands and I can’t wait to pick up the Spring 2015 fashion issue of the WSJ magazine on Saturday, February 14th. Dutch model Doutzen Kroes graces the cover and in a feature inside.  She looks healthy and strong and makes me to eat healthy and work out more […]

I would like to say that spring is in the air but the windchill is making it feel like 9 degrees in New York this morning.  The only thing that gets me through winter is looking at spring clothes hanging in my closet standing ready to be worn the minute the weather warms up.  It’s […]
