Someone recently told me they liked that all my Chanel bags were different and unique. Meaning, I wasn’t carrying the ubiquitous black quilted 2.55 flap bag. Not that there is anything wrong with the classic Chanel style but sometimes it’s fun to mix things up. My not so secret source for all my vintage Chanel […]
Last week, I had the fun opportunity to visit chic jewelry designer Lele Sadoughi in her new Soho studio. It’s filled with treasures she’s brought back from trips and vintage furniture reupholstered in fun fabrics. And let’s not forget all the beautiful baubles. I first found Lele through Moda Operandi and since then, her pieces have […]
I was introduced to Lele Sadoughi Jewelry recently through Moda Operandi. The designer of the line Lisa “Lele” Sadoughi started the J.Crew jewelry line in 2006 and is currently the Design Director at Tory Burch so she’s got quite the pedigree. What I love most is that the prices aren’t crazy expensive. I pre-prdered a fall […]
As many of you discovered recently, my book Creativity at Work was out of stock online and in many stores. I am happy to announce that the second printing arrived in the warehouse and Amazon and other sites now have it back in stock. Now that we have more books, I can also start scheduling […]
I sometimes go to stores not just for shopping but for inspiration. Often the paint colors and decoration borrow from home design so it makes sense. The new Chloe store in Soho is one of my new inspiring stores. The pale grey exterior had me at hello but the brass rails, shelves, and light fixtures […]
Morning meetings mess me up. It’s usually the time I return emails and work on blog posts which is why I don’t schedule them. Since I’m behind on everything from one earlier today, I am posting a repeat post but it’s from October 2010 and relevant for what’s going on in New York this week. […]
Even though I woke up to snow flurries this morning, I know spring can’t be too far behind. To get in the mood, I suggest buying stripes. Lucky for you, Chance has just launched its first ever sale this week. You can save 40% on everything until Sunday, February 24th including their signature shirts and even the […]

To help you get ready for autumn, DIANI Boutique has generously offered Habitually Chic readers 15% off full price goods (with the exception of Isabel Marant) and sale items (with the exception of the final sale 60-90% off section.)

Seems we have the Greeks to thank for the Olympics and really chic sandals. I saw the photo above of store owner Tiina Laakkonen on the Tory Burch Blog and loved her sandals. Turns out they are the Iphigenia sandal from Ancient Greek Sandals and Michelle Williams is also a fan. Sandals weather may be […]
“Made up my mind to make a new start, going to California with an aching in my heart. Someone told me there’s a girl there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.” – Led Zeppelin I can’t believe this is only the second season for Chance. It just feels like it’s been […]
As a life long resident of the Northeast, I sometimes wish I was born in the South. First, you get that great Southern accent and get to say things like “bless her heart.” Second, you get to grow up in lovely old homes filled with beautiful family furniture and silver. Oh, and if you’re really […]
The warmer weather in New York has me dying for the new fall fashions I previewed at Club Monaco last week. The lovely green shades and stripes had me at hello and will start arriving in stores in July. The rest will continue into August and September. The most exciting thing I learned is that […]
Leave it to an Italian to create a collection inspired by hot rods and American in the 1950’s. Spring 2012 at Prada would make a Pink Lady proud. Not sure if I will be wearing those sandals with flames on them but I might have to have one of those new handbags. Bon Weekend!
If you are looking for a Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetheart, you might want to visit AM-Living. They are generously offering HC readers 15% off any purchase for the month of February with the code HABCHIC. I especially love their Nautical inspired items and Campaign furniture. I say throw a little something in the […]
This past spring, I had the pleasure of attending the Fall 2011 preview at Talbots. It was the first hot day of the year but all I could think about was that Cheetah Print Dress and Tie Neck Top and all that fabulous double faced wool! I’m not only excited that the collection is finally […]
