The featured moment · Fifth Avenue

An afternoon
at Bergdorf’s

A little pink, a window over the park, and an afternoon made for lingering. The scene, the feeling, and the pieces I’d wear.

Through My Lens · The Plaza

The lovely details
I keep coming back to

New York lives in the little things, too. A beautiful mirror, the light in an old room, a pair of shoes that makes a moment feel special.

These are photographs from my own Plaza story—a little piece of the city, through my eyes.

A Golden Apple Moment

A little French café charm, leaves just beginning to turn, and a golden apple with New York intentions.

One sculptural detail, and a rather lovely excuse to linger by the park.

The Art of an Entrance

Black suede, a sculptural gold heel, and the pleasure of dressing for an evening in New York.

A little theatre, a flash of red, and one beautiful detail to build an evening around.

A Touch of Cherry

Rich color, beautiful Italian leather, and a little fall inspiration.

A personal style note on the understated bag and the autumn shades I’d pair it with.

A Turn on Fifth Avenue

Black, ivory, a touch of burgundy, and a classic with a little personality.

A Fifth Avenue afternoon, a few beautiful detours, and one detail worth another look.

Mini’s Fifth Avenue Moment

Lilac tweed, a white bow, and a matching headband with rather grand intentions.

A little city polish, plenty of childhood, and room in those pockets for whatever tiny treasure the day brings.
