I was familiar with the brand Joe Fresh but it wasn’t until I attended the grand opening of their new flagship store last week that I really fell in love. My favorite Canadian interior designer Tommy Smythe knows the owner Joe Mimran and his wife Kim Newport, the designer of Pink Tartan, and was kind […]
I’m going to have to check and make sure I don’t have a fever that’s making delirious. Normally, I hate anything cutesy and would definitely not be caught dead wearing anything with hearts on it. That being said, I’m kind of loving the heart throb print at J.Crew. I was in the Collection/Bridal store on […]
Instead of depressing you with more photos of the Viceroy Anguilla, I thought I’d revisit my trip to Los Angeles. While there I was able to pop into Kelly Wearstler‘s new clothing boutique on Melrose Avenue. For those of you who don’t know, she also designed the Viceroy Anguilla, so my jumping around actually makes […]
While I loved Ann Mashburn in Atlanta, I kind of wanted to move into Sid Mashburn and marry their handsome salesman Randall. It’s a mecca for menswear and impeccable custom suiting. The tailors are on site to cater to your sartorial pleasure and couldn’t be sweeter. If you’re a Southern gentleman or even a Yankee, […]
I am embarrassed to say that I had never been to Atlanta, Georgia before Americas Mart invited me down to speak. I took the opportunity to stay the weekend and see some sights. At the top was stopping by the store Pieces. I shopped from them online for my bachelor pad project in 2008 and […]
Bergdorf Goodman is probably the most popular destination for holiday windows each season but there are also other very beautiful and creative displays around the city. The Ralph Lauren shop windows on Madison Avenue are always a treat, especially the children’s boutique. They look adorable and the props they include always amaze me. There are […]
When I was in Chicago last month, I was finally able to visit Jayson Home & Garden. I’ve shopped their website for myself and clients but nothing compares to seeing their mix of vintage and new furniture, accessories and curiosities in person. Makes me wish I lived in Chicago but since I don’t, I’m happy I […]
One of the best parts of blogging has been all the creative people I’ve been able to meet. Even more exciting is watching them achieve their dreams or reach new goals. I wrote about the chic store Maison 24 three years ago when I discovered them off season during an installation in the Hamptons. Co-owner […]
The heat abated slightly on Sunday so I ventured to the flea market. I was hoping others would stay away so I would have my pick of the good stuff and I did manage to find a few treasures. My rule of thumb for the flea market is to buy what I love and always have a […]
I’ve written about Etos before but they have recently renovated their space and it’s definitely worth another look. The store is owned by Mercedes Desios and Alberto Villalobos who met while they were students at the New York School of Interior Design. They share not only a store but an interior design business and the […]
Club Monaco is one of my favorite retailers in New York. I always know I can find great clothing and accessories that don’t scream where I bought them. I would always feel bad about posting my favorite pieces on Habitually Chic though because not many of my readers have access to their stores but all […]
The CFDA was very busy this week. First, they announced that they would be releasing American Fashion Designers at Home this fall and today, they have unveiled their collaboration with the Gap. The three CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners, Monique Péan, Patrik Ervell and Sophie Théallet, have designed special pieces that will be sold exclusively at […]
After you visit Ruby Beets, make sure you head next door to JED. I could have also bought everything in this chic shop. It’s a mix of French antiques and new pieces that all have a certain je ne sais quoi. While some pieces were expensive, those two chairs out front were only $450 for […]
This weekend, I spent visiting all my favorite stores in Sag Harbor which included Ruby Beets, a favorite of almost every designer. It’s a small space but it’s packed to the rafters with new and antique treasures. I especially loved all the lamps and photographs of sea and sky by Mary Ellen Bartley but in […]
I am loving Roberta Freymann‘s new Summer 2010 advertisement that was shot by photographer Elizabeth Lipmann at Associated Cut Flowers in New York. The cute flower filled photo above is the only final one that I can find but there are some behind the scenes photos online that hint at the others to come. Definitely […]
Housing Works is very popular among the design crowd in New York and it seemed like every designer in New York came out to support this wonderful charity at their annual Design on a Dime event last night! The place was packed with people ready to shop for a good cause and I even saw […]
I was just lamenting the other day that I couldn’t find any good flats. Loeffler Randall used to be my go to source but they don’t have any for sale for spring. So I was very excited when my friends and I decided to stop into Pretty Ballerinas after my birthday lunch at JG Melon. […]
