Since I moved to NYC 23 years ago, Bloomingdale’s has always been a part of my life. I visit the iconic store less in person now since it’s so easy to shop online but they also offer free services like buy online pickup in store, in-store or curbside pickup, personal stylists and personal shoppers, in-personal […]
It’s already felt like it’s been raining a lot in NYC and this week’s forecast is rain for the entire week. It’s dreary and depressing so let’s focus on one thing we can control – how to dress for the weather. Parisian women will wear a trench coat rain or shine since they tend to […]
ME+EM has some beautiful pastel shades of lilac and pale lemon that will brighten your spirits on even the dreariest spring day. As is the case with so many of their pieces, you can mix and match them to create multiple different outfit combinations. This is especially helpful when you are packing for a trip. […]

Winter has returned to NYC but I know warm weather is just around the corner and that means weddings and other events are too. I’ve put together five great outfits from Saks to help get you ready for dress season. Saks Friends and Family 25% off new arrivals event is also happening until Thursday, March […]
I started the March New and Noteworthy post earlier in the month but got sidetracked. It actually worked out well since I was able to add a few more things that should be on your radar this month. We could really use more hotels on the Upper East Side so I hope someone builds or […]
It’s the first day of Spring and Aries season so even I’m ready to embrace color now. Luckily, Net-a-Porter has a lot of New Arrivals that will help you shake off the winter blues with shades of pink, lavender, yellow, green, and more. I’ve put three outfits together to help get you started but all […]
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that my early birthday present to myself was a vintage Hermès Kelly Retourne 35 in vert foncé (dark green) gulliver leather. I was actually looking at a green Kelly last summer but funny enough, I think interior designer Chris Benz bought the one I was eyeing. […]
I think a lot of people forget that it can stay chilly in many places through the month of May, sometimes even June. But there are often huge fluctuations in temperature so you need to be prepared for anything. I saw snow on the weather forecast for yesterday morning and it might be close to […]
I’ve been trying to be more considerate about what I buy lately but I did buy a few things with an eye to the transitional weather and spring events and travel. I don’t wear black except for evening and have been wearing a J.Crew x Marie Marot navy pair of trousers all winter. Since they […]
I’ve really been enjoying the fall fashion shows the last few weeks. I especially loved all the inspiring color combinations coming out of Milan and Paris. The best were at Ferragamo, Bally, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Dries Van Noten. The strongest colors weaving their way though many collections are green, from avocado to olive, and […]
Yes, I wear a lot of neutrals but they work in the colder months in NYC. When I go for color and pattern, it’s for resort trips and summer soirees. Sézane just launched their latest collection today photographed in an Italian palazzo and I went a little nutty buying dresses and tops for warmer weather. […]
Warm weather is finally here, and that means garden parties, outdoor dining, and special events. As you start planning your spring wardrobe, my friend Heidi Wynne has you covered with her beautiful new collection of block print floral dresses and lighter weight cashmere. She is generously extending a 15% reduction, site-wide with no exclusions, until […]
I bought quite a few things for my April trip to Paris when the forecast was showing warmer weather but I ended up not packing any of them when it became clear that it would be rather chilly. I had the cool grey weather this year that I was expecting last year but it was […]
Long time readers know that an ivory blouse and jeans is my favorite transitional outfit. Now that spring is here, it’s time to update the look for the new season. The cream ruffle-trim silk blouse on the left looks a little darker in the photo than reality but it’s the perfect option to tuck in […]
I was asked for suggestions on what to wear to summer weddings so I thought I would put a dress edit together. These could be worn for Easter and other events as well, including bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. It was a little overwhelming to put together full accessories for each dress so I just […]
It’s been snowing almost all day in NYC so what better time to start thinking about spring shoes. I’ve put together 24 chic styles from flats to heels and in varying price points so hopefully, there is something for everyone who needs a pick me up right now. These tan leather sandals have the look […]
