I’ve flirted with color recently but I can’t escape my comfort zone of neutrals. Beige doesn’t have to be boring when you mix it with chic textured accessories and Net-a-Porter has the best options whether you are heading to East Hampton or Essaouira. For the plane or car ride, I’d start with the cream Ribbed […]

Brown Bag It

09 . 16 . 16

Fashion week just ended in New York and there was a lot of great street style this season. One chic trend that appeared were tan clutches and bags. This classic color is perfect for fall so here are a couple of options if you don’t already have one in your closet. Loewe T Large Pouch […]

Chic in Sydney

06 . 23 . 15

Belle Magazine doesn’t have a website but they do send out an email everyday which is where I saw the beautiful photo above. It is from the Sydney home of Ronan Sulich and Margaret Nolan and was featured in the October/November 2013 issue and was photographed by Michael Wee. It was also featured on Marie […]

Shifting into Neutral

07 . 21 . 14

I don’t wear a lot of color to begin with but this time of year always makes me want to start shifting into neutrals in preparation of autumn.  Here’s a little inspiration to help you get in the mood too.  Photo of Paris by me.  Saint Laurent Sac Université Shoulder Bag Daria Werbowy for Mango.  […]

Outlined

10 . 15 . 13

Not even sure how to explain this post other some photos that I find terribly inspiring that all seem to have a bit of black outlining something neutral. Although, I think Gisele’s coat from H&M is actually navy blue but you get the idea. I’m just not feeling for color these days.  Enjoy.   Don’t […]

Down the Rabbit Hole

10 . 07 . 13

I much prefer using tumblr on my iPhone to the computer.  It’s so easy to scroll down and repost images that it really is akin to falling down the rabbit hole.  This happened last evening and when I looked at the photos I had reposted, they had made a perfectly color coordinated post.  Enjoy.  Hermes […]

Lighten Up

04 . 29 . 13

It was a gorgeous weekend here in New York but I was surprised how many people were still dressed for winter.  It’s definitely time to store the boots and tights and banish the black. I’m all about non-color colors like buff, nude and tan with a little pale pink thrown in for good measure.  Hope […]

Parisian Dream

12 . 28 . 12

After seeing this flat in Paris designed by Gilles & Boissier, I think a move to Paris might be at the top of my New Year’s resolution list now. It’s perfect in every way especially those herringbone floors and boiseries and gilt mirrors and….you get the idea.  Bon weekend!

Neutrality

08 . 02 . 12

I challenged myself to wear more color this summer because that’s what every magazine and fashion blogger was touting.  The problem was that every time I did wear color, I wished I was wearing neutrals.  Sometimes you just have to stick with what works for you whether it’s fashion or decor related.  I’ve described my […]

Neutral Territory

10 . 25 . 11

I love this outfit that was photographed by Facehunter during fashion week.  The color combination makes a lovely ensemble and also decorating scheme.  The pop of black adds a little punctuation to neutral shades like camel, brown, ivory, and white.   The best part of using these shades in a room is that you can […]

Neutral Territory

03 . 02 . 11

I really think that I’m going to have to own several homes in order to satisfy my love of different decorating styles.  I usually like some color in my interiors but sometimes I see a neutral scheme that just looks so serene and calming that I can’t help but love it too.  You may have […]

Mystery Solved!

01 . 28 . 11

A big thanks to my readers who recognized that the room I posted last night was featured in Nuevo Estilo.  A little sleuthing unearthed the entire Barcelona apartment.  It doesn’t say who owns it or the designer but you can read the entire article here. I do like color in my home but I also […]

I know not everyone likes color so I thought I’d post something a little more neutral today.  Roman & Williams partners in work and life, Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, live in a fabulous loft downtown that is both eclectic and elegant.  I absolutely love the kitchen and home office area with a glass enclosed […]
