“Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.” – Oscar de la Renta (July 22, 1932 – October 20, 2014)   

Indian Summer is a lovely occurrence if it doesn’t involve 80% humidity.  We’re sweating here in New York which makes it difficult to wear fall clothes.  When the weather breaks, I’ll be looking for an olive green parka like these in the latest issue of Vogue magazine.  They are perfect for the city or country living […]

This fashion month might be the best yet for street style.  There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]

Puttin’ on the Ritz

09 . 26 . 14

In honor of Paris Fashion Week and in anticipation of the Hotel Ritz reopening next year, I thought I would post these chic photos of Kate Moss taken before the closure by Tim Walker for Vogue. Everyone is hoping that they haven’t ruined the iconic design so it will be interesting to see how Thierry W. […]

Drake’s London

09 . 25 . 14

Someone recently asked me what was new for menswear for fall.  The best thing about men’s fashion is that it doesn’t really change.  A man could buy a well made piece and keep it for a lifetime.  But if you or the man in your life needs a little upgrade, definitely check out Drake’s of London. Their […]

Admiring Annina

09 . 12 . 14

My new favorite street style subject is C magazine fashion editor Annina Mislin.  Her style is an interesting combination of conservative and daring. While I would never wear a bra top and open shirt on the street, I admire her moxie and her abs.  Someone needs to find out her workout routine  and post it […]

Pretty on Pinterest

09 . 09 . 14

As much as I love attending runway shows, you often miss the details when the models are wafting past you and the person in front of you is taking pics on their ginormous iPad.  So it was lovely to see Oscar de la Renta post a multitude of detail photos of the clothing and accessories from their Spring 2015 […]

Chic on the Street

09 . 08 . 14

As everyone knows, some of the best looks each fashion week aren’t on the runways.  The street style looks are also looking much better this season.  Maybe it’s because it’s been so hot.  I think the weather has also been the reason we’re seeing so much white after Labor Day too. Gotta get it in […]

Fashion at Home

09 . 07 . 14

Fashion designer Adam Lippes presented his Spring 2015 collection in his duplex on Washington Square Park on Saturday. It was the perfect backdrop to his elegant and interesting designs. Too bad all fashion shows aren’t this chic. To view all the Adam Lippes looks for Spring 2015, check out Style.com and to read more about […]

Fashion Week Kickoff

09 . 04 . 14

New York Fashion Week kicked off last night with a fete at Gracie Mansion and I noticed a theme among a few of the designers.  Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Carolina Herrera all wore grey and white.  A great way to transition your white pieces for after Labor Day. I’ll be attending all […]

Even though it’s supposed to be 90 degrees in New York tomorrow, I’m shopping the fall collection that just debuted on Emerson Fry. It’s filled with cozy sweaters and chic coats as well a few pairs of lust worthy shoes and boots. Just as lovely as the clothes is the home in which they shoot […]

Due to a scheduling conflict the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were broadcast on a Monday night which threw everyone off.  But luckily the celebrities and their stylists weren’t thrown off.  Almost all of the presenters and nominees looked lovely but it was Lizzy Caplan above who stole the show.  Lizzy usually plays the comedic […]

Style and Substance

08 . 09 . 14

I was sitting at a cafe with a friend earlier this week when we both remarked that it was beginning to feel like fall.  Not only has the temperature dropped but the leaves are already falling off the trees.  Each morning, a man from Mairie de Paris sweeps them up along the park outside my […]

Calder and Coppola

08 . 06 . 14

Creativity seems to run through all branches of the Coppola family.  They collaborate on projects at various times as well. According to a tidbit ion the T magazine blog, Sofia Coppola recently photographed the look book for her cousin-in-law, Amanda Blake’s new line of clothing, Calder, in her own New York apartment. Blake studied at Parsons […]

Lower Light

07 . 22 . 14

Paris is known as the City of Light but the light everywhere starts to change once we move closer to autumn.  It becomes lower and warmer which is part of the reason I want to wear more neutrals and warmer colors. They just go together. I was cleaning out a Paris Vogue from May and […]

Speaking of magazines. Run, don’t walk to find a copy of Industrie magazine.  The cover model is former model and current Vogue fashion editor, Tonne Goodman.  The interview inside was conducted by fashion designer Anna Sui and delves into her storied career and signature American style.  Tonne was photographed by Inez and Vinoodh for Industrie.  Honestly, […]

Making Magic in Milan

07 . 16 . 14

I really hope W magazine appreciates that I spent 11 euros on their August issue in Colette yesterday.  While reading online is ok, nothing beats reading a real magazine at night before bed.  It was actually worth the money because I got to see gorgeous photos by Francois Halard of Alessandra Facchinetti’s Milan apartment.  Facchinetti […]
