Pop Paradise


Who else but Lisa Perry could envision a pop art paradise in a former monastery on Long Island. Originally published in Hamptons Cottages and Gardens, her family's home has been transformed with "bright, primary colors, glossy surfaces and playful minimalism". The LOVE pillows can be found at Calypso home in New York.


Maimekko pillows dress up custom sofas in the "sunset room" above. I think I'd sit in there no matter what it was called!

While George Nelson bubble lamps look like sculpture hanging above the Tucker Robbins dining table and Eero Saarinen chairs. Hope their guests don't drink too much at dinner and fall into the exercise pool!

Modern Chic in Paris


The Paris apartment of children's wear designer Cordelia de Castellane is a a colorful and modern mix of luxury and frivolity that definitely doesn't take itself too seriously.

Vintage Chic


This is one of my favorite images from the Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer profile in Vogue Living from Fall/Winter 2006. It was shot by Eric Bowman at the Hamptons house that once belonged to her grandmother, Estee Lauder.

I live in New York City and rarely drive, but if I did, this is exactly the car I would buy!

Sleek and Chic


To me, celebrity hairdresser to the stars, Sally Hershberger, epitomizes hip downtown New York style so I was surprised to find out she has a Beverly Hills home and even more surprised that I love it!

The white backdrop perfectly sets off the warm wood of her vintage furniture and her enviable art collection.

Habitually Chic Book of the Week


If there is one book that is prized above all others for it's beautiful cover, it's Osa Johnson's I Married Adventure. It's part of my library above and is often styled for magazine shoots like the Vogue photo montage below.

Besides being chic and pretty, it's actually a great read! Martin and Osa Johnson lived an extraordinary life of travel and adventure that is still to this day inspriring. Just recently, American Eagle launched a clothing line called Martin + Osa, based on their fearless exploration.

I found my copy of I Married Adventure from a book dealer but there are always editions to be had on eBay. Get your copy today and be inspired!

Q&A with Kelly Wearstler


While I was perusing the House & Garden Web site, I came across a very interesting Q&A session with designer Kelly Wearstler.

Kelly is one of my favorite interior designers and is definitely always habitually chic...except maybe when she crimps her hair but she's so talented that I might just let her slide on that one.

At Home With...Carolyn Murphy


I'm obsessed with House & Garden magazine! So obsessed, that I end up buying it on the newstand before my subscription copy to arrives, because I can't stand to wait! One of the perks of living in NYC is that many of the new magazines arrive on the newstands before other cities. (This is actually not a perk to my bank account.)

The August issue was no exception. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. The cover with Carolyn Murphy's home in Venice Beach is so beautiful. Not only do I want to look like her but I want to be her and live in her "chic bohemian hideaway"!

I'm glad I checked out the article on the House & Garden web site because this photo of her vanity wasn't in the magazine version.

My First Post!

Hello! Welcome to Habitually Chic!

I am a stylish young woman living in New York City and working for a top interior designer who also owns a small gallery. I am constantly surrounded by habitually chic people, places and things that I have been dying to write about so I finally decided to take the plunge. I have been reading a lot of other people's blogs recently and realized that although so many of them are wonderful, few are based in New York with the access that I have to so much great design and inspiration.

While everyone was dying to see the new Charlotte Moss townhouse, I was walking past it everyday on my way to work and surveying it's progress. I read about people dying to meet Albert Hadley. Guess what? I have! And he works right across the street! I get to see him everyday! And if I get excited about these things, I thought others might too!

I am inspired by so many beautiful things and experiences that I am excited to share them with others and I hope you enjoy them!
