A Dinner at Villa San Michele
A trip to Florence is incomplete if you don’t stop and explore the utterly breathtaking Villa San Michele.

A Florentine Brunch
This Sunday brunch was set poolside at the Villa San Michele, a 15th century Franciscan monastery now transformed into one of Europe's most charming and picturesque hotels.

A Golden Celebration
When a friend wanted to host a brunch to celebrate his parents’ 50th anniversary, we went all out.

A Lavish Birthday Party
With his wife by his side, and surrounded by friends and family, it was a sweet ending for not one, but two momentous occasions.

A Modern Thanksgiving
Instead of fresh flowers, white Manzanita branches were laid down the center of the table to create a lush landscape.

A Red Country Christmas
If the style of your home tends to be more country in look and feel, this red wreath and tree is what I call a “country chic” holiday theme.

A Weekend at Oyster Bay, South Africa
Each year it’s a different destination; this year was Gloria’s 83rd birthday weekend and we decided to meet at Oyster Bay Lodge in the Eastern Cape.

An Artful Event
The Whitney Museum is the embodiment of contemporary American art, so a masterpiece of an annual ball was in order.

An Elegant Dinner
Inspiration can come from the most unpredictable sources.
