Future of Retail panel at the National Arts Club October 17, 2018 Generally I never pass up the chance to attend an event at the National Arts Club because it is so old world chic and last weeks event did not disappoint. The Paris American Club New York opened up the evening and as a […]
After returning from my yearly jaunt to Europe I needed to visit my dear grandfather whose health is declining. I had very little time to unpack and repack for this trip. However I’ve packed for warm locales over and over so it’s pretty easy now. The morning of my flight I got ready super early […]

It was an exciting week here for me with the Laundress event in Soho. I shared a very personal story that I don’t often reveal and the most common mistakes I see women make, closet-care wise. We also had live cleaning demos, sparkly sips, nibbles, and juicy questions from the guests. Lauren Gabrielson, a local fashion […]
Are you excited when it rains because you can wear your coat? I AM! But that’s because I have a variety of fantastic coats in my closet. In NYC a coat is like your car… it’s your first impression vehicle (the ultimate luxury in nyc is a driver at beck and call so you don’t […]
