The temperature has dropped and the heat has come on in my apartment building so that means it’s time to open up the coat closet. Camel coats are perfect for this time of year because they look lighter than most dark colored coats and they coordinate with almost every color. Camel looks great with white, […]
I came across the work of designer Robert Brown on Pinterest recently and fell in love with this bedroom suite. I love how the large room has become intimate with distinct areas for sleeping, sitting, and working. It’s also great inspiration for how to set up a large studio apartment. Needless to say, I also […]
Most of you know that One Kings Lane sells chicly curated furniture and accessories online but I’m sure not as many know that you can now shop the One Kings Lane Studio in person in New York. The Studio is a new showroom located at their Hudson Street headquarters set up like a large apartment which […]
I’ve already started to organize my closet for fall. While doing so, I’ve been trying to put some new outfits together. I’m very excited for the first crisp September day so I can wear these new pieces from J. McLaughlin. Dont forget, J. McLaughlin is generously offering HC readers 15% off full price merchandise from August 27-30, 2015 with […]
After this hot and sweaty summer, I’ve never been more ready for fall fashions and good hair weather. I can’t wait to wear cashmere and coats and sweaters and layers. The first place I’m starting my shopping is Emerson Fry whose first collection for autumn has just debuted online. The Drop Shoulder Coat in Camel is […]
I came across the Matches Fashion The Essentials fall video below on Instagram and love the white interiors as much as the fashion. It looks like a home you’d find in the UK magazine Living Etc. I also appreciate that realistic clutter makes it look like someone actually lives in the house. The best part is […]
I’m definitely ready for fall fashion but I did buy one last white summer dress. I wore it yesterday to The Cloisters and I hadn’t even made it into the entrance before a young man with a foreign accent told me he liked my flowy dress. It looks like something you’d see a girl wearing in […]
I’m taking the day off today. Well, not really. I still have a lot of little projects and errands on my “to do” list to prepare for the photo shoot in my apartment next week. But I am taking a break from the blog. While I’m away, I highly recommend you check out the Nordstrom […]
I’ve been wearing a lot of black this summer so I’ve decided to switch things up and add some olive green to my wardrobe. I love that the color plays nice with others like brown and tan as well as black and even pink. When I was on the Madewell site I found this Silk Stich-Edged […]
It was five years ago that I first saw the New Jersey house of Dransfield & Ross founders John Dransfield and Geoffrey Ross and it looks just as good today. I love that One Kings Lane is able to give a more in depth look into interiors during their house tours than most magazines. And as I’ve mentioned before, […]
I’ve had L. Becker Flowers on my must visit list for a while. Yesterday, I finally made a pilgrimage to the chicest shop on the Upper East Side. The most ironic thing about of L. Becker Flowers is that there aren’t actually many flowers in the space. Owner Larry Becker and his partner Roger Crowley assured […]
It feels like everyone is pregnant right now from my friend Sheena and Oscar PR Girl Erika Bearman, to Kim Kardashian. I can imagine that their goal this summer is to be as comfortable as possible while feeling uncomfortable and Hatch has them covered. The new Hatch Plage collection is full of light gauzy dresses and separates […]
I almost booked a last minute flight to Paris this weekend because my favorite brocante, printemps brocante de la rue de Bretagne, is taking place in the Marais. I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t because Ines de la Fressange has also just opened a new eponymous boutique in the 7th arrondissement. It’s filled with a chic combination of […]
Right now, everything is on sale everywhere. Well, maybe not everything but there are a lot of amazing fashions on sale at Net-a-Porter, Barneys, and Bergdorf Goodman online. I’m sharing a few of my favorites and the best part is that you have the entire summer left to wear them. One of the brands that […]
I really wish I had visited Lisa Jackson’s store LJ Cross before I left for Costa Rica. It’s filled year round with all the essentials you need for warm weather trips such as bathing suits, sunglasses, hats, and sarongs. There are also lovely cashmere pieces and apparel for city living too. Lisa said she tries hard […]
Everyone always asks me what I pack and for this trip to Costa Rica, it was all sleeveless dresses and beach cover ups. The weather has been in the 90’s which isn’t that bad once you get used to it or can jump in the pool. Sunscreen is also extremely important since we’re so close […]
If you are heading to Milan for Maison & Objet in April, make sure you visit the new Bottega Veneta home store. It’s located in the 18th-century Palazzo Gallarati Scotti where frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Carlo Innocenzo Carlone are the perfect backdrop for the furniture and accessories set up in a living room, dining room, studio, […]
