It’s always nice when new sponsors tell me what an impact an ad has on the traffic to their website. It’s even better when they offer HC readers a special discount to make a purchase.   To give you a little background, designer Cynthia Gale set out to create exquisite, high quality sterling silver jewelry […]

With the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Euro, it’s not easy to find a bargain in Paris.  Although, I look forward to trying when the sales start later this month.  I did however find one amazing bargain in the Palais Royal of all places.   I was cutting through the Passage du Perron […]

Just came across a tour of jewelry designer Aurelie Bidermann‘s Paris studio on Barneys The Window.  It reminded me that I took a few of my own photos of her lovely jewelry and shop when I was recently in Paris. I couldn’t find her Wheat Ring here in New York so I knew it would […]

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 […]

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 walking down Madison Avenue Thursday afternoon and saw the chicest woman.  Based on the necklace, I had a feeling it was French jewelry designer Aurelie Bidermann.  I’m not one to approach strangers on the street though so I just kept walking.  But after a few glasses of champagne at the WSJ Magazine five […]

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 […]

I bet some people don’t even realize that Elsa Peretti is a real person and that she’s still designing her eponymous collection for Tiffany & Co. She began her career as a model before branching out into jewelry design.  There is a great new interview with the Italian designer in the new issue of Time […]

Jewelry makes a great Valentine’s Day present but if you don’t have a sweetheart this year, maybe you can win a piece for yourself. Ex Voto Vintage has generously offered to give away one of their chic gold Kathleen necklaces to one lucky Habitually Chic reader.  To enter, please leave a comment on this post with your name […]

I may not have gotten any gift guides up yet but I do have a holiday giveaway for you.  Ex Voto Vintage is generously offering one lucky Habitually Chic reader their Minny Necklace with Laurel Locket. The necklace was named after their friend Octavia Spencer’s “Minny” character from the film The Help. Octavia wore this necklace […]

One of the most special things I was able to do on my recent trip to Los Angeles was visit Tony Duquette’s legendary home Dawnridge and meet Hutton Wilkinson.  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect since the Tony Duquette for Coach collection was just launching with parties while I was in town. For those of […]

I’ve never met anything gold and shiny that I didn’t like, including all the furniture and decorative accents in this Parisian apartment. It is owned by Delfina Delettrez whose mother is Silvia Venturini Fendi, one of those fabulous fashion Fendis.  Looks like chicness runs in the family and her taste in antiques is perfect for […]

I was familiar with the Fenton and Fallon jewelry lines but it was Twitter that personally introduced me to the designer behind them, Dana Lorenz.  Her impeccable taste and style was on full display at her Spring 2012 presentation for the Fenton collection at The Four Seasons restaurant on Friday.  It was the perfect chic […]

The Roberta Freymann shop in New York reminds me a little of Kathryn Ireland’s showroom in Los Angeles so I thought it would be a good time to let you know about what’s going at the store involving fashionista Olivia Palermo. If you’ve watched The City on MTV, then you know that Olivia is a […]

I have a new obsession and it’s Elma Blint jewelry! I had the pleasure of meeting Elma at her table at the Brooklyn Flea Market recently and found her to be delightful and her jewelry to be beyond chic and surprisingly affordable! Elma took the time to explain vermeil and why the gold on my […]
