The reason I get so excited about fall is because it’s New York’s best season. It can still be quite hot into October though so I’ve put together an array of pieces that can be mixed and matched when it’s still warm and then can easily transition to cooler temperatures. If you aren’t into skirts, […]

My friend Stacey used to work in finance in New York but moved to San Francisco a few years ago to work in the tech world. Her last two jobs were in very casual offices but she just started a job at a new startup with “a kickass female CEO who would never be caught […]

If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away from it all this fall, I highly recommend The Inn at Kenmore Hall in the Berkshires region of Western Massachusetts.  I have been anxiously following the renovation of the main house and property since owner Frank Muytjens and his partner Scott Edward Cole started posting about […]

It’s too hot to wear jeans but one can dream. It’s about this time that I was to burn all my favorite summer clothes. If the temperature dips below 78 degrees I pull out the jeans and can’t wait to wear this outfit again. Rebecca Taylor Spring Floral Voile Top – This blouse is a […]

I was going to post one last gift guide today but honestly, I’m all gift guided out. I thought it might be fun to post what I’ve bought myself for Christmas instead. I just read that approximately 60% of people admit to self gifting so I’m glad I’m not alone. I hope my gifts to […]

If I could, I would wear jeans, a blouse or sweater, and flats all year long. Unfortunately, you can’t wear jeans in New York when it’s hazy, hot, and humid so I live in dresses all summer. I’ve had a hard time finding new options lately but got lucky with three new purchases this week […]

Going Gingham

04 . 26 . 16

How cute and chic are these photos of Jenna Lyons? J.Crew challenged her to wear gingham five ways for five days.  The results were photographed in her office, with her son at Morgensterns Ice Cream, her home, on the street, and at The Meadow. At least I think that’s her home.  I’m still wondering which […]

Sunny Days

01 . 26 . 16

The sun is shining and the snow is melting. Perfect time for J.Crew to launch their new line of sunglasses. There are six different frame styles for women and three for men ranging in price from $98 to $128. A perfect little present to buy yourself to get through the end of winter.

The Chicest Advice

09 . 02 . 15

While I loved seeing another peek at Jenna Lyons’ office at J.Crew and her chic new haircut on The Coveteur yesterday, it was her words of wisdom that really resonated. “I think the best piece [of advice] I ever received is when someone pulled me aside one day and was like ‘stop worrying about what […]

Andy Warhol Slept Here

06 . 26 . 15

Montauk has typically been the quieter area of the Hamptons due to its location on the very end of Long Island. That has started to change in recent years as people were priced out of other areas. Now finding anything reasonably priced in Montauk might be about to end as Andy Warhol’s old compound is put up […]

The other day I noticed a running theme on my Instagram feed. The color yellow kept popping up just like the daffodils all over the city. I thought it would be fun to pull them all together for a post including one from J.Crew above. Bon week-end ! HC Michael Traynor @mjtraynor is visiting Copenhagen, Denmark and […]

Before J.Crew opened their new Paris store last week, they held a spring 2015 preview and soiree in a beautiful Haussmann apartment at 5 rue de Tilsitt. It was filled with chic furniture and art posters from Cy Twombly and Julian Schnabel from Yvon Lambert Galerie. While M. Lambert closed his larger art gallery, there is still a small […]

Bonjour J.Crew

03 . 09 . 15

The new J.Crew store in Paris conveniently opened the day after we arrived so we popped over to Le Marais to check it out. It’s women’s only but it’s full of fun displays and special edition Saint Jacques striped shirts only available at this store. We saw the cute food trucks outside but they were […]

An Auspicious Start

02 . 18 . 15

Sometimes I feel like I might have a nervous breakdown if it doesn’t warm up soon.  But instead of letting myself get depressed, I’m focusing on getting ready for spring. I’ve been buying a few new things like the J.Crew shoes above but also trying to get my closets cleaned out and organized. I read […]

Fashion Field Trip

01 . 28 . 15

  I am embarrassed to say that I’ve never visited The American Museum of Natural History in New York.  After seeing the cute Crewcuts girls and boys who were photographed among the exhibitions for the J.Crew February 2015 Style Guide, I will definitely be planning a visit soon. J.Crew also collaborated on a line of graphic tees with the […]

I usually prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving to start thinking about Christmas but retailers won’t let me.  So in the spirit of “if you can’t beat them, join them” I give you some looks from the J.Crew December Style Guide.  The cute family photos shot in Norway actually make me excited for winter and […]
