Think powdered wigs, candlelight, and scandal with

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer must be in want of solitude to practice her craft.” So Jane Austen might’ve penned were she writing this piece. Yet solitude was never the whole story. Without elegant balls, assemblies, and the daily rituals of family meals—most especially tea—there would have been little material for a writer whose wit and humanity still captivate us today. Jane Austen (Dec. 16, 1775 – July 18, 1817), whose 250th birthday is being celebra

During the most thrilling decades in New York City, Barneys  wasn’t simply a department store—it was a stage for the most influential moments in fashion, a place where creativity collided with commerce, and where style became a cultural language. In They All Came to Barneys , published in September 2025, Gene Pressman  tells the story only he can: from the inside. As the grandson of founder Barney Pressman and co-CEO of Barneys New York during its most innovative era, Gene of

For nearly a century and a half, Krigler has been the secret weapon of the world’s most captivating figures—Audrey in her ingénue years, Grace before the crown, Hemingway with a tumbler nearby. These are not just perfumes, they’re love affairs in glass bottles that hold history, scandal, and the kind of glamour that refuses to fade.

Candlelight flickers, a dog winds between chairs, and the air carries that sense of home where laughter and love live. The woman who once lived by call sheets and cameras is most at ease without scripts: at home, surrounded by her daughters. Motherhood was never the role she expected to define her, but it’s the one she treasures most. “Being a mom was something I never really expe

A century on, The Great Gatsby has traded bargain bins for Broadway spotlights and half-million-dollar auction blocks. Once scorned as a flop, it’s now the ultimate Jazz Age comeback—proof that even the green light gets brighter with time. On April 10, 1925, Scribner’s released a slim novel by a 28-year-old writer with champagne tastes and a mounting pile of bills. The title? The Great Gatsby. The reception? Tepid at best—just 20,000 copies sold in its first year, hardly the
