When going to play with vintage jewels, one must don some vintage costume jewels 💎 Loved giving this KJL necklace it's debut at a lovely party last week with @serpentine_jewels . (Wearing all fun finds from archival designer and vintage shops too!)
📷 By my favorite @phillipvn 💕
When you surprise(!) end up being able to celebrate @sonaljshah 's birthday in Paris 🥂 Hope all your birthday and Paris dreams came true 😘

Pro tip: always pack some formalwear (even on a family vacation with littles!) because you never know where you may end up 🪄
P is my new personal photographer 🥂
Paris with family and friends (and new ones!) — what a delight. Nothing better than the sheer coincidence that some awesome people all end up together in France.
Oh, and S got her first view of the sparkly tower. The magic is just as good as Disney at this age 🪄
Merry Christmas 🎄🥂
Fun story behind this photo. My favorite Christmas tree—the Palace hotel—used to be a secret but then it went viral. You can't take a picture without hoards of visitors. Had to find a new favorite, not overrun with tourists yet. Thanks to P, we got it 😉 Love this corner of NYC!

(It's me and wine, among other things, which is why being a consumer at a tasting is so much more fun these days. I now cringe when someone outs that I'm a somm 😳 Prefer to just lay low and enjoy 🥂)
Just over here debating a memoir of adventures and self-realization—ha!
But really, discussing recent reads and memoirs over at The Mad Ones. One of which I read on this trip.
Up now.
Oh, and sorry if I sat you in Siberia 😉
