YOYA’S KID-FUELED FALL FASHION
I have shopped for both of my kids since they were born at YOYA in the West Village. It’s always been my go-to store for when we desired something special for our kids or a gift for my friends or client’s children. When you are at YOYA in the West Village you can feel the love and the creative eye that goes into curating fashion for kids.
When Christina Villegas, dear friend, and owner of YOYA asked for our 10-year-old daughter Sofia to be one the models for the YOYA 2017 fall campaign we were delighted to be part of it!

The holiday season is such a fun time to break out your most glam looks, and there’s no need to stress over the whole beauty routine. Soho has some of the best places to help you get ready for your big night! These are some of my favorites…
Soho was once a thriving art district known for it’s galleries but now the neighborhood showcases a different kind of art: the city’s best fashion. All the chicest clothing, shoes, and jewelry can be found among Soho’s busy sidewalks and cobblestone streets. Soho has also become known as one of Manhattan’s best Real Estate neighborhoods. (Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Femke Jensen, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos agree!) Plus there’s still plenty of culture to be found. Here are some highlights of the {soho} life!

Summer Favorites in the Hamptons – As summer comes to an end, we’re enjoying these last days of Hamptons sunshine, beaches, shopping and good food. Here are the places we’ve most enjoyed spending time this season!
This past Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a fabulous beauty event: The Daily Summer’s Beauty Lounge At c/o The Maidstone! It was a wonderful afternoon full of pampering and fun! The Maidstone, a quaint Scandinavian lifestyle hotel right in the heart of East Hampton, provided the perfect intimate setting.

I am so excited to see the first listings emerging for The Greenwich Lane in West Village. Named for one of Manhattan’s first roads, The Greenwich Lane is a 200-unit condo project in the West Village that’s hoping to do a few big things: revitalize the block between 11th and 12th streets off of Seventh Avenue, be environmentally friendly, combine historic structures with new construction, and offer “an unheard-of level of character and service.”
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of visiting a building that will be a game-changer for the real estate industry everywhere. 66 East 11th Street, coined “The Delos,” is a remarkable example of a shift that is happening in real estate – a shift toward a more holistic, wellness-centered approach to development.
Have you picked out a costume yet? No? Then read on, friends. The stores listed below are the best costume stores in NYC. Browse their aisles, and become something scary, sexy, silly, or something wholly unique.
TGIF, everyone! We’ve made it through another week and there are plenty of fun things to reward yourself for a job well-done. Make sure to visit an open house this weekend or try your hand at perfecting the perfect pizza pie. If pizza isn’t on your menu these days and you have an exciting Halloween costume you’re trying to fit into, then check out a chic yoga class in Little Italy or try a CrossFit class along the East River – if you dare.
A new store has opened in Tribeca that every fashionista MUST put at the top of her shopping list. Named after co-owners Kimmy Carton’s and Jackie Brookstein’s hometown – Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania – Valley offers a compelling alternative to Soho boutiques.
Last week I had the great fortune to travel to Paris, the City of Light, with a handful of women who, in addition to being incredible mothers and fitness buddies at Tracy Anderson Method, are some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Traveling to Paris with them was a completely different experience than traveling alone or with family – we didn’t want to go home, so we went BIG! The restaurants were world-class, the museums took my breath away, and the shopping …oh my gosh, the shopping! Here are the highlights of a week in Paris to give you the travel bug too!
As one of the founding families at Avenues: The World School, we took a leap of faith and trusted that this establishment would be the best choice for our family. After a full year with Avenues, I can say with confidence that it was everything we had hoped for – and then some! We’re so excited to have such an amazing private school downtown. It has been a blessing my daughter’s growth and development while attending the school and I cannot wait to see what is in store for her this year!
As the new admission season begins, I’d like to introduce you to the incredible Avenues community. The happiness and positive energy is truly contagious and I am enthusiastic to endorse this school to all New York parents and beyond. This fall, Avenues will have weekly grade- and division-specific Parent Information Events. I sincerely recommend these events to anyone that is curious about the school.

Summer may be on it’s way out be there are still plenty of exciting things to do around the City this weekend. Enjoy an exciting lobster bake, get in touch with your creative side, or catch a flick in the park. With help from the talented Luxury Attache concierge team here at Town Residential, here are some weekend activities to put look forward to:
Last year, I had an amazing experience participating in Tracy Anderson’s Detox Week. Tomorrow is kicking off the 2013 detox and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll be sharing this week’s adventure with you soon but here are some fond memories of last year:
With the 4th of July weekend behind us, summer is in full force and (if this weekend’s weather was any indication) the temperature is only going to rise. While sitting indoors with the air conditioner cranked up to capacity may be an easy solution, it’s impossible–and almost silly–to spend your entire summer inside. Check out these rooftop pools for a quick, cool getaway from the city’s upcoming heat waves.
This weekend is a particularly exciting one as ArtHamptons teams up to celebrate Hamptons Magazine’s 35th anniversary and then tomorrow is “Dan’s Taste of Two Forks” event hosted by Bobby Flay with emcee Alex Guarnaschelli.
This may have been one of the busiest months by far for me in New…
Access, convenience and luxury at it’s finest; here at TOWN, that’s what we’ve become accustomed…
Last week, the latest Trunk Show was hosted at a gorgeous penthouse at 55 Warren, in the heart of TriBeCa. Guests sipped on wine and summer rosé while perusing a myriad of chic couture provided by Edition 01 – a creative agency focusing on commerce and product development.
the {new york} life’s mission is to apply our lifestyle marketing and our work with amazing companies like Edition01 and co-brand with incredible brands to market high-end TOWN Real estate Luxury properties. We are proud to announce the next private event to take place at 55 Warren, 9H with a trunk show from Edition01, featuring their limited edition capsule collections with designers like Tracy Anderson, Thakoon, Pamela Love and more!
Estefania Lacayo is the founder of one of my favorite online shopping sites, Edition01.com. Edition01 is the destination for innovative and exclusive product collaborations across fashion, lifestyle and art. Estefania and her team work with the best international fashion and accessories designers, artists and creatives to bring the chicest of shoppers rare talent pairings and original style pieces. Estefania’s business savvy isn’t the only thing that drew me to her. She also captivated me with her great taste: in home decor (her own home displays a beautiful mix of organic pieces with sterling silver accents), in restaurants (read about her favorites below!) and the way she approaches life in New York as a celebration of creativity.
I chatted with Estefania recently over lunch at The Nomad and got to know what makes her New York Life so unique…
Whether you’re a Tracy Anderson devotee, a SoulCycle addict, a yoga warrior or a triathlete, you identify with certain fitness styles that bring out the most powerful YOU! Here are some brands that are making waves on New York’s sweat scene.
Jumpsuits take me back to the 70’s, when I started wearing them at the age of 5! This year, be sure to add at least one jumpsuit to your wardrobe. They are so versatile: I wore my Isabel Marant jumpsuit to my son’s 7th birthday party this past weekend. I would also pair one with a sharp, tailored suit jacket to meet clients…
There is so much about style that’s inspiring me this spring: my passion, in the new lines that make me feel powerful at work; my gratefulness to be a mommy in fun twists on city mommy looks for spending time with my kids; my creativity, in fun ways to layer these fresh pieces… style infiltrates every part of our lives! This season, I’ll post a new style board each week, sharing some of my favorite pieces with you, from the casual to the formal…
Recent trends in style and Real Estate show that The Meatpacking District, still a popular destination for brunch, shopping and clubs, is losing its appeal to the high fashion designers. Starting with the opening of Jeffery in 1999, then Pastis, a few clubs and swanky lounges like APT, the Meatpacking District had quickly become the talk of the town. Soon high-end designers like Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Moschino, Matthew Williamson and La Perla were opening large downtown-cool boutiques to cater to downtown chic shoppers.
The first of many The {New York} Life events took place at one of the most stunning lofts in Tribeca, 55 North Moore, which is my exclusive at Town Residential. Here’s where all our 5 categories meet from The {New York} Life: a hot NYC property, many fitness devotees from Tracy Anderson Method, the most glam mommies in the city, Flycakes’ custom decorated homemade cookies (for us foodies!), chic Manhattan style from the fabulous Bianca Pratt’s jewelry…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Fall in love with Bianca Pratt in a special Valentine’s Day Q&A!
I met my friend Bianca Pratt first as a workout buddy at Tracy Anderson’s studio, and I’ve been lusting after her jewelry ever since. The simplicity of her pieces creates a very classic style that looks great on any woman and would make a perfect Valentine’s gift, even if for yourself! They are also great pieces to wear in business, for they’re not ostentatious. I sat down with Bianca at her Tribeca loft, which mirrors the classic beauty of her work, to talk about the New York life, mommyhood, and how she creates a “balancing act” in her life…
Can’t you just feel the buzz in the air? Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off today, and it’s not just the tents and the shows but the events and the hottest bars and restaurants in town that all get taken over by fashion’s elite…
This month we will be picking some of our favorite fitness and loungewear pieces to inspire your work out style and keep you moving into the new year! Our first feature comes from my friend Elana Brynes, founder of go-to luxury loungewear brand Kings of Cole, whose latest line is an exclusive and limited edition collection with lifestyle brand goop…
I am a raving fan of Dannijo, a jewelry line created by sisters Jodi and Danielle Snyder. They’ve taken the fashion world (and my accessories collection) by storm, and now their holiday pop-up shop is taking SoHo by storm as well!
The tree in Rockefeller Center is lit, there are ice skaters in Bryant Park, and I’m feeling a little extra magic in the air. The holidays are here! With the holidays come the puzzle of what to get for all the loved ones on your list. I put together a Gift Guide of some of my favorite things that will help you find the perfect gifts for the women you need to buy for this year. Happy Shopping!
This past weekend Mark and I attended the Venezuelan American Endowment for the Arts’ annual black tie event! My search for a gown got me to thinking about all of the holiday events coming up, and all of the fabulous formal wear that I (and you!) will need for our holiday, office, cocktail, fundraising and new years eve soirees!
So many of the shoes at Barney’s right now have my attention! From new…

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!
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…
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.
Inspired by all the questions about my fitness wear, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite pieces to wear to workout, as well as loungewear for casual days at the beach or the movies with my kids.
These are some of my favorite pieces to wear right now – both what I find myself drawn to in the morning when I’m getting dressed for the day, and the first things I toss in my suitcase when we’re headed out of town, for both short and long trips. You’ll probably recognize a lot of these pieces from my recent pictures. Now you’ll know where they’re from so you can snag them for your own summer wardrobe. Happy shopping!
Besides being really passionate for real estate, another one of my big loves in life is fashion. This quote by Gianni Versace sums it up: “Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” One of my absolute favorite designers is Isabel Marant, largely in part because her line is both fashionable and practical.
I met Maria Brito three years ago when she was first launching her “Lifestyling” business to help people become more knowledgeable on buying art for their homes, as well as creating a lifestyle in their home that they couldn’t achieve on their own. Maria is the quintessential Chelsea woman: creative, driven, dedicated to improving the happiness of others, a wonderful mommy, and extraordinarily cultured with impeccable taste.
It is no secret that I love hats. Love, love, love. And there is no better time to add to your assortment of hats than now. The perfect easy summer accessory, a guard against too much sun on your face, and, of course, hats give you that little boost in sass. (Carly Simon, anyone?)
Here’s my take on the best hat trends this summer!
Tracy Anderson’s Leggings Collection for Edition01 launched today, and I am so honored to have been selected as a model with these strong and inspiring women! Plus, the leggings are awesome. The collection takes inspiration from Tracy’s Metamorphosis Workout Program. Each of the four different leggings styles is designed for a unique body shape, providing optimal support, comfort and confidence for every woman, from workout to out-and-about. You can shop the collection at Edition 01. Make sure to scroll across the top of the page to read about all of Tracy’s models!
