Hot Wheels

06 . 20 . 15

One of my favorite pastimes is posting photos to Instagram of all the cool classic cars I see along my travels.  You are guaranteed to spot a lot in Sag Harbor and also Paris. In honor of Father’s Day, I’ve compiled some of my favorites. And if you’re looking last minute gift for your dad or a treat for yourself, […]

Last week I noticed two interesting Instagram photos posted from Milan on the same day. One was taken by interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein and the other by editor J.J. Martin. While they both had different captions and descriptions, I had a feeling they were  both visiting the same place.  After some careful online sleuthing, I discovered […]

I had planned a longer post for today but the beach was calling. I’ll be back on Saturday with a fun outfit post on what I packed for Costa Rica. Bon week-end ! HC

Off to Costa Rica

04 . 29 . 15

Those of you who follow me on Twitter and Instagram probably already know that my friend Tim and I are off to Costa Rica today. We’re actually on a Jet Blue flight to Liberia right now. After we land, we will be staying the week at the newly renovated Four Seasons resort, that’s a photo of one […]

In a city with hundreds of hotels, it takes a lot to impress people.  The new Baccarat Hotel might just be the one of the best standouts. The location on West 53rd Street is across from the Museum of Modern Art and the interior featured their own gallery wall of art. and awe inspiring Baccarat chandeliers. The designers […]

Paris Purchases

04 . 07 . 15

  While we’re on the subject of France, I thought it would be fun to look at a some of the purchases I made in Paris. I know a lot of you are planning trips to the City of Light this year so maybe this will help you add a few new places to your […]

If there is any place that has made me say, I want to go to there, it’s La Mirande in Avignon, France. Pierre Frey posted two images on Instagram since some of their Braquenié fabrics are used in the hotel and now I am dreaming of a trip.  The five-star hotel and restaurant opened in […]

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, […]

As many of you know, visiting Paris never gets old.  Even though I lived in the City of Light for three months last summer, this most recent trip was still exciting and action packed.  The fact that is was Paris Fashion Week meant there was a palpable electricity in the air and everywhere we went we […]

I first heard of the Haven in Paris apartment rental agency from Jon Maroto and George Nunno of Flair Home who often stay in their properties. I didn’t have the opportunity to rent from them until this past trip but I will definitely be renting from them from now on. For a nine day trip, an apartment […]

Au Revoir Paris

03 . 13 . 15

I’m getting ready to head to Charles de Gaulle and I don’t don’t want to leave Paris.  This has been such a fun and exciting trip.  The weather could not have been more perfect too. Michelle and I saw and did so much (and bought so much!) that it probably is a good thing we’re […]

Chic in Paris: Tensira

03 . 08 . 15

Before we came to Paris, Michelle and I each made a list of the places we definitely wanted to visit on this trip.  Since she is currently decorating her house, at the top of her list was the fabric showroom Tensira.  The founders of Tensira, Tuulia Makinen and Hamidou Diallo met in school in Finland, fell in […]

Gone to the Dogs

03 . 07 . 15

We’ve only been in Paris two days but we’ve already seen and done so much.  It’s a great trip already and it’s really only just begun.  Yesterday, we sat outside in the glorious warm sun at La Bonaparte for lunch where I made friends with the chien next to us. Later, I passed another man and […]

Since we will be attending so many events in Paris, I really did need to lay out all my outfits and plan them in advance.  You don’t want to get to your destination and realize you forgot something important like the right pair of shoes or your favorite necklace. Here’s a look at some of […]

A fair amount of outfit planning went into this trip to Paris.  I needed to pack a lot of pieces that would work with different outfits but also be chic for fashion week. While I will be showing you some of my actual outfits tomorrow, these are some of the looks that inspired me. I’m sticking […]

À tout à l’heure

03 . 04 . 15

I’m off to the airport with my fingers crossed that today’s rain doesn’t delay my flight.  I can’t wait to get out of the cold and into the springtime in Paris.  I saw one 60 degree day on the forecast and almost jumped for joy. I don’t want to give away some of the fun […]

Pierre Hardy’s Paris

03 . 03 . 15

Today has been one of those days.  I’ve been running around taking care of last minute things for Paris like highlights with Marie Robinson and picking up my tailoring.  I’m also dealing with last minute work projects.  So much for telling people a month in advance of your travel plans. I promise a long post […]
