April is my favorite time of year since it is the month of my birth and the beginning of spring. The flowers and trees will burst into bloom this month and I can’t wait to take a daily walk in Central Park to see their progression. They are already seeing daffodils pop up across the […]
I’ve always had an affinity for Easter since it heralds the beginning of spring and often falls around my April birthday. This year, I’ll be returning from a birthday trip to Charleston on Easter but I still hope to create a pretty table top for a late meal. If you need any help planning for […]
As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m loving lavender right now. It feels like the breath of fresh air we need to start the month of March. I realized that the pinker shade is more lilac than lavender so I’ve put together some of my favorites in both shades. If none of these strike your […]
This week was not as busy as last week due to snow and the ending of fashion week but I still managed to miss a few things. I’m hoping to catch up on some of them over the long holiday weekend. If put a few new stores and events happening around New York, Los Angeles, […]
I look forward to seeing the fashion presentation from Adam Lippes each season since he shows at home with beautiful flower arrangements from Putnam and Putnam. There is nothing I love more than the intersection of fashion and interiors his Fall/Winter 2019 collection was inspired by rich rooms of the interior design firm Studio Peregalli. […]
It’s no surprise that interior designer Ken Fulk‘s book was titled Mr. Ken Fulk’s Magical World because he really is a magician. No where is this more apparent that his newest creation the Saint Joseph’s Arts Society in an old historic church San Francisco that sat empty since an earthquake. The private arts and social club has […]
There are always great parties each fall in New York but the place to be last night was the Cabana magazine pop up party at Bergdorf Goodman. Italian founder Martina Mondadori Sartogo was on hand to celebrate her new colorful Persia Collection along with Aerin Lauder, Ashley Hicks, and Lee Radziwill, and many others. The […]
I enjoy following the travels of Julia Engel, her husband Thomas Berolzheimer, and their art director Dulci Edge, as they photograph each Gal Meets Glam Collection. The July collection launching today was shot in London in May during the Chelsea Flower Show. The whole city seemed to be bursting in bloom creating the perfect backdrop […]
As you might remember, I posted about the interior of Westbury House at Old Westbury Gardens recently and now I’m following up with the gardens. They are planted so that there is always something in bloom when you visit. During my visit, the roses were in bursting and I couldn’t get over how beautiful the […]
While New York seems to be in the middle of a rainy season, England seems to be enjoying a beautiful spring. I know this from Instagram so I thought it would be fun to post my favorite photos in honor of the upcoming royal wedding. Enjoy! @benpentreath @eugeniaexplores @alexander.hoyle @amandacbrooks @alexander.hoyle @mrsalice @alexander.hoyle @meanderingmacaron @mccormickcharlie […]
I’m starting to feel like I could be coming down with something so I’m taking some time for myself until my birthday dinner tonight. I’ve managed to evade the flu all winter so I really hope it hasn’t caught up with me now. I’ll be back tomorrow with a longer post. Big thanks to designer […]
Mother’s Day is less than four weeks away on May 13th so I’m giving you ample heads up. You have no excuse not to find something special for the special woman or women in your life. As I’ve mentioned before, when giving an ephemeral gift like flowers or a spa day, I think it’s nice […]
Sézane is one of my favorite brands. I wore one of their blouses yesterday and can’t wait to wear the white embroidered dress I bought this summer. My biggest frustration with Sézane is that their collections sell out very fast. That’s why I’m letting you know that their Garden Party Collection was just launched online. […]
Easter heralds new beginnings and the arrival of spring. The symbols of bunnies, eggs, and flowers make for sweet and beautiful decorations. Easter falls a little earlier this year on April 1st so I’ve put together a few of my favorites to help you get ready for the holiday. Damask Bunny Salad Plates Tulip and […]

I can attest that everyone in New York is ready for spring to arrive. Unfortunately, snow is falling right now and we’re expecting an accumulation of 6-12 inches. This seems like the perfect time to post a beautiful garden I came across on Pinterest. The first photo led me to a Martha Stewart.com profile of Dominique […]
Jayson Home, the beloved Chicago store, has just opened in downtown New York. It is so exciting to have their mix of new and vintage finds in the City that Never Sleeps. You can now find anything you need for your own apartment, a client project, or the perfect gift at their new location. You […]
