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.
It’s no secret that the Chelsea neighborhood is one of the great loves of my life. There is nowhere else I’d rather live, and witnessing first-hand the evolution of West Chelsea is exciting and extraordinary. Real Estate Weekly just posted this letter regarding the expansion of the Chelsea Market, and of course I had to share.
Yesterday my friend Sonya Chodry took me to an art class at The Art Barge with artist Linda Capello as our instructor. Linda was really good with me as a beginner and it was amazing to see so much talent there! Linda has a background in fashion, which is why she’s excellent at figure drawing. It was great for the mind too, to get away to such a beautiful space and focus on something new and creative.
Art has always fascinated me and living in New York City, we are surrounded by it! My friend Maria Brito is my art buddy – she and I share passion for Brazilian photographers with vivid photography of beaches of Brazil, Vic Munoz of Wasteland, and we both like the pop art of Andy Warhol and others of that era. {Read about Maria Brito} I love the portraits for Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke (drawings with painting over them). My dream would be to have portraits of our Tyler and Sofia done like that one day!
What an unforgettable week! I just finished Detox Week at Tracy Anderson Method’s Water Mill Studio in the Hamptons, during which I was challenged like never before! What an amazing group of motivated, inspiring women I was honored to share the experience with. Here, I’ll share with you a little bit of my Detox Week experience.
I’m so blessed to have a career and a company that I love being a part of every single day. The agents at Mark David & Company are like family, and I so enjoy the trust they put in both Mark and me to shape their careers. There’s a lot of hard work at MDNY, and also a lot of fun, but most importantly we build relationships: with each other and with each client that walks through our door. Not only do we give our agents the tools and hone their skills to help clients find just the right home, but we instill in them the value of continuing those relationships past the clients’ moving-day, and the stories our agents have to tell are beyond inspiring.
