I love bold colors and pop art by all kinds of artists. Of course, the man who started it all, Andy Warhol, is a definitely favorite. That’s why I’m looking forward to this fall at the Met, as they pay tribute to the legacy of Andy Warhol with Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years. The exhibition examines The Factory founder’s influence on art and culture by juxtaposing nearly 45 of his paintings, sculptures and films alongside works from contemporary artists who have reinterpreted or been influenced by his pop art sensibility. You’d think they curated this one just for me!
It’s fall in New York, and that statement comes with an automatic sensory overload. Art openings (check back Monday for my choice of must-see exhibit), the most perfect walks on the High-Line, the best fashion to be had in the city, and an outpouring of new restaurants to expand your tastes! This fall, I am thrilled to see the new batch of great restaurants opening their doors and feeding our bellies (and, for we foodies, our souls).
It’s Fashion’s Night Out in New York! Here’s The {New York} Life’s guide to the evening, what to wear, what to buy and what to do!
Being a real estate agent in New York City allows me to view some of the city’s most gorgeous and amazing buildings. I’ve seen hundreds of places to live throughout the city, but there are a few that really stand out to me due to their location, amenities and other other offerings. I’ve put together a list of my favorite buildings in Manhattan for you to explore.
It’s my birthday week, and I promise you there’s no shortage of celebrations. We kicked things off with a garden barbecue at Sonya Chodry’s gorgeous house. She grows so much of her own food, and everything was delicious, from the salad to the vegetables to the burgers on the grill. There’s nothing better than sharing delicious and healthy food with amazing friends! I’m feeling so blessed.
I mentioned it last week, but it deserves a post all of it’s own. If you haven’t checked out leibal.com yet, it’s time to peruse and be inspired by these modern, space saving accessories just begging to revamp your home.
August and September are my favorite months to shop – when all the new fall styles hit the stores. Nothing makes me happier than a new leather jacket, a classic Chanel bag (a must-have for every girl’s wardrobe), some fresh tees and skinny pants. Then of course I top it all off with some stand-out jewelry, whether some stacked bracelets or a memorable necklace. There’s something so inspiring about fall fashion; the edge, the layering, the mystery…
Has there ever been a better book for a little girl?! The Super Adventures of Sophie and the City follows Sophie as she travels to different worlds in her daddy’s office building. The book teaches kids about fashion, design, weddings, and the glamorous life inside magazine publishing.
It’s amazing how one new piece – whether art, furniture, a pillow, a curtain – can freshen up the look of a whole room and make your home feel bright! The talented Sonya Chodry created the custom Brigitte Bardot art piece for me, below, and I can’t wait to hang it in our Chelsea home! I’ve also stopped into Sebastian + Barquet (601 west 26th street in Chelsea) a few times to be inspired by their unique designs in gorgeously printed fabrics.
Elana Brynes and I met at Tracy Anderson Method’s Detox Week in the Hamptons, where she had come to do a trunk show for her Kings of Cole brand, and I was immediately impressed both with Elana’s energy and the creativity in her work! Of course, I ordered two of her Kings of Cole sweatshirts, which are flattering, unique, and comfortable, and I’ve been wearing them nonstop!
I asked Elana, a native New Yorker, to chat with me about her life on the Upper East Side and the inspiration behind Kings of Cole.
