Home & Style

My style is traditional with a hint of modern elegance: think a small chandelier in my color-drenched British green powder room, tall ceilings, layers of molding, and a worn leather sectional buried in pillows and a throw blanket in the living room. My closet, on the other hand? A mess. I haven’t found a system that works, though I do rotate what’s up front by season. But when it comes to actually buying something, I’ll spend the money on a cable knit sweater if it feels like the kind of quality that lasts for years.
