It was freezing and windy in New York today and unfortunately I think they already turned the heat off in my building even though it’s not quite spring. So all I want to do is curl up on my sofa with blanket and watch a movie, preferably one without subtitles. Makes me wish I owned […]

Hail Brittania!

03 . 31 . 09

Topshop finally opens this week in Soho and if that wasn’t enough to cause a stampede, the Kate Moss Collection for Spring 2009 debuts the same day! Maybe I’ll wait until Saturday to check it out. Cheerio!

My internet research often leads me to interesting places. One was a very old New York magazine article about the perils of interior design business. It was as juicy as a soap opera. After that, I discovered that the interior design duo of Stephen Sills and James Huniford (Sills Huniford Associates)parted ways in summer of […]

Spring Ahead

03 . 01 . 09

I’ve been out shopping for clients lately and I’ve been noticing that everyone is ready for spring! One of my favorite window displays is at Bunny Williams and John Rosselli’s shop Treillage on Lexington Avenue at 73rd Street with it’s table set with blue and white porcelain and vases of flowers and potted hyacinths. It’s […]

Amazing Sale at Aero

02 . 11 . 09

I spent most of Tuesday in Soho shopping for clients and spent a lot of my time checking out the amazing sale at Aero. There are some fabulous deals to be had so I recommend checking it out since most of the prices are below cost! Happy Shopping!

Nothing Lasts Forever

02 . 08 . 09

Everyone drooled over Julie and Luke Janklow’s white townhouse when it was featured in Vogue and now it can be yours for $25 Million. The gossip on Page 6 was that the couple was divorcing and it was confirmed when the 25 foot wide 8,100 sf home was put on the market. It seems like […]

Christmas in New York

12 . 23 . 08

Before I left for the holidays, I managed to take a few photos of the city dressed up for Christmas. The twinkle lights look especially beautiful at night! Kind of makes putting up with the hoards of tourists and lack of taxis worth it! Enjoy!

The weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we’ve no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow Well, it doesn’t show signs of stopping But we’ve got some corn for popping And the lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow, […]

The Corner

12 . 14 . 08

I attended a little gathering at La Esquina Friday night and I was once again reminded as to why it is one of my favorite restaurants if not my all time favorite. Mexican food usually isn’t known as a healthy culinary choice but the food at La Esquina is always fresh and light and delicious. […]

Holiday Sale Time!

12 . 01 . 08

Seems like every store in New York is having a huge sale and now there are fabulous holiday sample sales including Lulu DK. I might have to stop by and pick up some holiday gifts…for myself and others! See you there!

Downtown with David

11 . 03 . 08

This past Saturday was a beautiful day in more ways than just the weather. I had the pleasure of spending it with my favorite Kansas City resident, David Jimenez! David actually grew up in New York and if Ron Marvin and I have our way, we’re going to figure out a way for him to […]

The most exciting thing about working near Union Square are all the fabulous shops and showrooms in the area! Last week, I stopped into 145 Antiques on 20th Street and was blown away by their lovely furniture and beautiful Italian lamps which they rewire in the backroom. If you stop by, I guarantee you’ll find […]

Tennis Anyone?

08 . 24 . 08

Time to get out your short shorts and your sweatbands, the US Open Tennis Championships begin tomorrow in Flushing Meadows. Personally, I’ll be staking out all the top hotels to catch of glimpse of the hot players! Between tennis and upcoming fashion week, it’s the best time of the year to be in New York!

Shopping and Shots?

08 . 21 . 08

Usually, I would advise anyone against shopping and drinking but in the case of men, they can sometimes use a stiff drink to get them through the task. Perhaps that’s why I heard today from Urban Daddy that J. Crew is opening a shop in a former bar in Tribeca. Or my guess is that […]

My prayers have finally been answered. A J. Crew store is set to open on the Upper East Side. Of course, they couldn’t just open a regular store on Third Avenue like everyone else. Instead it will be J. Crew Collection store on Madison Avenue and 79th Street. But I’ll take what I can get. […]

The Greenwich Hotel

08 . 12 . 08

It seems like every day there is a new boutique hotel opening in the city but The Greenwich Hotel seems more like a home than a hotel. Albeit a home in Tribeca owned by a movie star and in this case Robert DeNiro. The best part about the hotel is that no two rooms look […]

Apartment Upgrade

08 . 04 . 08

Remember Michael Bargo and his spectacular studio from Domino magazine? Well, turns out he’s upgraded to a one bedroom and took the New York Times along on a shopping trip. Michael also used to work for Thomas O’Brien and Aero Studios who are having a great sale right now. Check the old apartment below and […]
