Many thanks to Adore Home online magazine for featuring an article by yours truly in its fabulous New York issue, out now. Following my recent buying trip, I’ve shared some of my favourite spots to visit while in the Big Apple. Adore Home is celebrating its first birthday this issue too, so a big hip hooray is definitely in order!
I’ve arrived in New York for a buying trip (which will also include West Palm Beach) and I’ll be filling a container with one-off treasures. While here I’m staying at the Gramercy Park Hotel and with the wonderful Michelle Adams of Lonny mag. The Gramercy Park Hotel is, in a word, spectacular – Bohemian beauty in a truly contemporary context – and a far cry from the neutral tones you find in most luxury hotels. The GPH also has the most incredible collection of art, with works from Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and George Condo to name just a few. You can view them here at www.artgph.com.
Just had breakfast and coffee in Gramercy Park, a private garden that’s accessible only by key (the hotel lent me theirs!). Serene, sunny and sublimely quiet, the park is the perfect place to kick back with an almond croissant, an espresso and a copy of the Times. Gramercy Park was created by visionary developer Samuel Ruggles, who wanted to create an oasis amid the hustle and bustle of the city. A walk along its paths reveals some of NYC’s architectural gems, including The Player’s Club, the Gothic revival National Arts Club, the Stuyvesant Fish House and 36 Gramercy Park East, a stunning neo-Gothic structure.

Whether it be a nice sunny day in Australia relaxing poolside, or back in New York curled up by a crackling fire on a snowy winters day, I am always up for a good read.
I have a passion for libraries in the home, and just love how an entire room can be dedicated to books, books, and more books! Take a look at these libraries and tell me what you think.
Diane Keaton's inspirational showcase of books- LOVE!
The green sofa is an ultra inviting touch
Greta Garbo's victorian inspired display of books
What a room! Jimm Stewart's amazing space
Legendary Karl Lagerfeld- one of my favourites!!
As if one or two walls wasn't enough, there are two floors covered! So amazing!
Relaxed and Subtle, I enjoy this.
Head-to-toe...This is a a true masterpiece
Oprah Winfrey, Australia's idol!
Last but not leasy, Woody Allen's spectacular reading room

Lonny just keeps getting better! Just when you thought they’d outdone themselves and couldn’t possibly get any better, they bring out their new issue and I find myself wow-ed all over again.
The Lonny Holiday Issue was published this weekend and it was a feast for the eyes. Not only was it packed full of delicious photography of to-die-for interiors, this issue resonated with me on another level as it featured one of my dearest friends.
I met David Hoey, the magic behind the eye-popping window dressing at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC many years ago, and I must say that I think of him as a brother! It was fabulous to David’s artistic and stylish flair to be recognised and celebrated in the article, which was so brilliantly presented by the Lonny team. I only wish I was in NYC to see the Bergdorf Goodman windows with my own eyes!
Congratulations to David and all at Lonny on the magnificent article and great Holiday Issue!
