If there is one person I return to every year for Christmas inspiration, it’s Carolyne Roehm. She designs some of the most elegant spaces and decorates them for the holidays to match. She’s been posting more of her entertaining examples on her site and the different color combinations prove that there is more to Christmas […]
It snowed yesterday in New York. Although it didn’t stick, it has me more excited for the holidays. I finally bought a wreath and paperwhites so it’s starting to look a lot more like Christmas in my apartment too. Here’s a little more inspiration to put you in the mood. Happy Holidays!

Since I just got back from my trip, it means I’m behind on my holiday decorating. I need to go out this weekend and get a wreath, garland, and Amaryllis. Until I get myself together, I leave you with some Instagram photos from London, Paris, and New York, mixed in with some other holiday decorating […]
While everyone in the US is gearing up for Thanksgiving, Europe is in full Christmas mode. The decorations in Paris were particularly beautiful and I look forward to seeing more when I go back on Friday. Ladurée on rue Bonaparte above just finished their decorations. I just arrived in London today and what I’ve seen […]
Before I left for Paris, I stopped by The Holiday Workshop which is a collaboration between longtime friends Celerie Kemble and Bronson van Wyck. Most of you know Celerie is an interior designer and Bronson is one of the most sought after event planners in the country. They’ve created this chic little holiday workshop with […]
Last night, I stood out in the cold with hundreds of other people to witness the unveiling of the Bergdorf Goodman Holidays on Ice windows and it was well worth the cold hands. We were even treated to a show with acrobats climbing down the side of the building like Spider-Man and even swinging out […]
If you’ve ever tried to navigate midtown or anywhere else in New York during the holidays, you will understand why I love online shopping. Especially, when you can order gifts for everyone on your list. I am especially loving the Nordstrom owned site, HauteLook which features great brands at up to 75% off. Even better […]
I usually like to wait until after Thanksgiving to start posting about Christmas but since it’s starting to look pretty festive around town, I figured what the heck. Last week, Bunny Williams invited me to Treillage for lunch where the entire place was already decked out for the holidays. I found out that I had […]
“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” – Norman Vincent Peale Wishing all my friends and readers a very Merry Christmas. XOXO, HC Photo from here.
The most exciting about my new apartment is that it has room for a large Christmas tree. Even better was that Green Valley Christmas Trees was kind enough to send me one. I haven’t put up a tree in a few years and it was so much fun unpacking all my old ornaments. I especially […]
When I was in Louisville, Kentucky recently, I was lucky enough to stop by the shop of interior designer Lee W. Robinson. It was already decorated for Christmas and looked like Santa’s very chic workshop. I bought a few things for myself and friends for the holidays and can’t wait to go back. If you […]
If I do choose a color scheme for next Christmas, I might also consider varying shades of green mixed with white or silver. The strategically placed pears look pretty chic too. Happy Holidays!
Since I don’t have time for regular in depth posts this week, I’m going to ply you with gifts! Fabulously chic sponsor Lamshop has generously offered to give one Habitually Chic reader one of their monogrammed Butler’s Tray. You can choose from any of the colors listed online as well as single, two, or three […]
The holidays can be a stressful time. This week is my most crazy of the whole season. I’m shooting seven subjects for my book, hosting a group of girlfriends for cocktails Wednesday night, attending a special screening and event for Downton Abbey Season 2 Thursday night, all while trying to keep my sanity and sense of […]
