New Book I Love
This post is dedicated to a new book I just picked up called “Etcetera” by stylist Sibella Court. We did a home story with supermodel Angela Lindvall on her tugboat home outside of New York City.   But now Sibella has a new book out that is breathtaking and gorgeous.    I encourage all of you to pick it up! I have a weakness for a few things in my life: good wine, a very earthy-smelling soy candle, artery-clogging cheeses and beautiful design books.   I

    So, on a 78 degree Fall day in New York City, what did I do with my friend the style-guru Danica Lo?   Tags: shopping New York Cit It doesn’t take very much for me to feel very cold.  With dipping temperatures in the East Coast, I’ve been finding myself readying the house as if I’m going to be snowed in for months: stacks of firewood on the back porch, winterizing windows, ordering thermal lined drapes.

  • 24 Hours in NYC
    Everybody thinks I live in New York City even though I call Bucks County, PA home.   I think the reason might be this: I’m in New York City ALL the time.    But as tempting as it is to move back to the Big (organic) Apple, I am quite content to have the space and the land in the keystone state (plus it only takes 1 hour to get into NYC anyway).    Back at the hotel, I did a few hours of meetings, interviews and frantic typing on my new HP netbook The other day, I thought it would be fun to take you guys through a typical 24 hour period in NYC with me.
