Spring is finally but the weather didn’t get the memo. Since the temperatures are still a bit chilly, the timing is right for my friend Heidi Wynne’s new spring collection of luxurious cashmere wraps. They would make thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts and are perfect for this time of year when the temperature changes throughout the day.

Enjoy an automatic 25% discount site-wide on heidiwynne.com until midnight PST on May 11, 2025. The discount is applied automatically during checkout with no code needed. All cashmere wraps, classic sweaters and cotton dresses are under $200 with the automatic discount.

Her classic cotton dresses and made in Ireland and Scotland sweaters are also included in her site-wide sale.

The Classic Pink Bela in a medium, spring weight cashmere one of Heidi’s most popular colors that works well with navy, white and beige. It is shown here with her Navy Brigitte Dress. The Bela is also available in Light Charcoal, Black and Deep Tan.

She also offers pink now in her lighter weight soft cashmere Olivia Cashmere Wrap which has a fringe on all sides and is one of Heidi’s newer styles. It happens to a favorite of Elizabeth Hurley who has one in Ivory. The Olivia is offered in a spring palette including Classic Pink, Habitually Chic, Ocean Blue (a greenish blue), Lavender and the Ivory.

Heidi’s lightest weight cashmere is her ultra sheer but still luxurious Claudia Wrap which will take you through summer. It is offered in a timeless palette of Dark Pink, Black, Deep Tan, Python Print and her Polka Dot Caruso Print in Grey or Buff.

One of Heidi’s best-selling styles is her medium weight cashmere Alexandra Wrap which is popular all year long. It is offered in Habitually Chic, Soft Pink which is a dustier pink than her Classic Pink color, Soft Lavender, Black and Classic Navy. The Alexandra is a perfect wrap for travel, and I will be taking mine to Paris with me. It is featured above with the Navy Brigitte Dress.

If you need a timeless white dress this spring and summer, the White Eyelet Ava Dress is an excellent choice.

The Ava is also available in an earthy red and dusty blue poppy print on navy blue, featured above.

Her lightweight Chambray Ava is a classic style that works with a fair isle sweater, like her Rhinebeck pictured above, a fisherman knit or a cashmere cardigan.

Heidi’s best-selling White Emma Dress features a dusty blue and grey poppy print.

The Emma is also available in a navy and white floral print which would be a smart choice for a garden party.

The Green Floral Emma is shown here with the Greta Satchel.

The Pink Emma is offered in a beautiful dusty pink with a dusty blue and earthy red floral block print and is a nice option for brunch with friends or a daytime party or special event.

The Dark Navy Emma packs well and would be perfect for a trip to Italy.

Heidi’s Lily Dress features a pretty block print and a flattering midi length. It is shown above in white with a blue floral print. It is such a timeless dress. Add a denim jacket for a casual look, or a cashmere wrap for a dressier look.

The Lily dress also comes in navy with a green and white floral print and is perfect for a daytime party.

The Green Lily Dress features a pretty lavender and white floral print.

Heidi’s first mini dress is her best-selling Fiona Dress which is offered in a white and blue floral block print.

All of her classic cotton dresses come with a removable belt so you can choose to wear them tied and fitted for a more tailored look, or untied and loose for a relaxed, comfortable caftan style.

The White Lily Dress is pictured above with her Ryan V-Neck, part of her Sweater Collection which is included in the CHIC25 discount. The special offer available site-wide with no restrictions until May 11, 2025 at midnight PST and it is automatically applied during checkout with no code needed.

Heidi ships quickly from the Hudson Valley, New York via UPS Ground. If you need something for a special event, please feel free to message info@heidiwynne.com for transit times. It is often just one to two days for the east coast, so your order will be sure to arrive in a timely manner.

Happy Shopping!

It’s going to be warmer in NYC soon but this will be known as “Fake First Spring”. Wintery weather will no doubt return so I’m starting to think about fashions that can work with fluctuating temperatures. Luckily, Saks has many new separates that are perfect for this transitional season.

The colors for these outfits were inspired by the new San Vicente Club decorated by British interior designer Rose Uniacke.

This Herringbone Wool-Blend Coat is the perfect transitional coat for when the weather starts to warm up. It’s around this time that I crave color like this blue Cashmere Knit Crewneck Sweater. If it’s a sunny day, I would pair the sweater with cream colored Seamed Flare Trousers. The Fendi Logo Slingback Pumps add more color and pattern. The Park Leather Tote adds another pop of color as we wait for spring. The best thing about winter in NYC is that we often have bright sunny days which make them perfect for the blue Aviator Sunglasses. Add some brightness to your face with the 14K-Gold-Plated and Cubic Zirconia Hoop Earrings. Help perk up your tired eyes after winter with the Augustinus Bader Rich Eye Cream.

You will definitely need a trench coat for wet spring weather so I suggest this chic Pinstriped Trench Coat. Ditch the heavy sweaters on warmer days and wear this Waffle-Knit Cashmere-Silk Henley instead. Also replace your jeans and sneakers with this chic blue A-Line Midi-Skirt these fun Zipper-Accented Slingback Pumps. For a pop of color, add the vernis colored Small Cassette Intreccio Leather Camera Bag. Update your sunglass style with these Butterfly Sunglasses. Buy yourself these 14K Yellow Gold Twin Row Diamond Mini Hoops as a gift for surviving winter. When it’s warm again, throw the Clé de Peau Beauté Refining Pressed Powder in your bag to prevent shine.

When the winter chill does return, this blue Belted Light Wool Coat will make you less seasonally depressed. I prefer navy like this Relaxed Crewneck Cotton Sweater to black in late winter and spring. These Glen Check Straight-Leg Trousers are also perfect for chilly days. The chic striped Slingback Pumps will definitely put some pep in your step. The Rounded Leather Top Handle Bag is another mood booster. I love these blue and black Aviator Sunglasses for sunny days too. I may need to treat myself to these 14K Yellow Gold and 0.08 TCW Diamond Huggie Hoop Earrings for making it through winter. You can smell like spring with Aerin’s Mediterranean Honeysuckle Eau de Parfum.

Happy almost Spring!

XOXO,

This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting the brands and retailers who support Habitually Chic.

As much as we would all like spring to be here, we have a few more months of winter to contend with so we might as well lean into it with some chic winter wardrobe essentials from Net-a-Porter. Add a pop of red to all of them to brighten up the coldest days.

If you need to brave the cold weather and head into the office, this outfit is for you.

Stay warm and look chic with this Toteme draped fringed wool-blend bouclé coat and then pair the cropped cable-knit merino wool sweater with grey high waisted herringbone woven wide-leg pants. The brown lace up leather ankle boots are easy to get on and off with a convenient back zip. The Toteme belted leather tote will hold your laptop and your work essentials.

Add some gold accents with the gold vermeil earrings and a set of three 14-karat recycled gold, agate, and diamond rings.

Keep your hands from freezing with the red leather gloves and protect your eyes from the bright winter sun with the oval-frame sunglasses.

If you have an important meeting or want to look nice for a winter date, try this ensemble.

The double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend coat is more for the warmer winter days but ribbed recycled-cashmere and organic cotton-blend turtleneck midi dress can be worn in any weather. Pair it with chic croc-effect leather stiletto knee high boots and burgundy leather crossbody bag.

A simple dress needs some interest in the form of gold-tone twisted knot earrings and a curved gold-tone bracelet.

Finish things off with tortoiseshell sunglasses and a red fringed cashmere scarf.

This outfit is perfect for your casual Friday that leads into a long weekend away.

The asymmetric shearling coat could be dressed up or down with a grey wool and cashmere sweater and jeans.

Look chic and feel comfortable with the perforated leather sneakers. A lot of you wanted a grey bag like mine and this Toteme leather-trimmed wool-flannel tote is very close.

I saw a lot of Parisians in the winter wearing shearling coats with red hat like this red cable-knit cashmere beanie.

Finish things off with gold-tone faux pearl earrings, gold vermeil ring, and aviator-style tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Stay warm!

XOXO,

This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting the brands and retailers who support Habitually Chic.

I’ve posted the directions on how to buy my Paris Travel Guide for 2025 in Instagram stories and in one of my Bon Weekend posts but it seems to be getting lost. Since people are always messaging me and asking how to buy it, I thought I should create a dedicated blog post so it’s easier to locate.

First, I want to take a minute to thank the over 5,491 people who have purchased it to date and so many have sent me messages telling me how much it helped plan their trip and navigate the City of Light.

For those who might not be familiar with me, I founded the blog Habitually Chic in 2007. After visiting Paris twice in 2013, I decided that I wanted to experience living in Paris. This guide was started by me in 2014 when I moved to Paris for three months and was traveling back and forth every six months afterward. I update it before and after each trip and keep on top of what to do in between trips through the many chic Parisians I follow on Instagram.

This is not a full comprehensive guide to tourist Paris but an insider’s guide of the new and classic restaurants favored by those in the know, the best stores to shop for things you might not be able to find outside of France, and all my favorite museums. I updated it after I returned from a month in Paris between April and May 2022, after spending two weeks in Paris over Thanksgiving 2022, and after spending two weeks again in April 2023, another two weeks over Thanksgiving 2023, and three weeks in April and May 2025. I continue to update it weekly, if not daily, so you are always getting the latest up to date information regarding restaurants, hotels, and museum exhibitions.

Right now, the my Paris Guide a 85 page long PDF document. I have actually ordered Paris guides from other people online and while their guides might look well put together with photos and fancy graphic design, they were always light on actual useful and practical information.

I also have literal receipts to show how many other Paris-centric influencers and travel agents have purchased my guide to use for their own gain.

The first 21 pages of my Paris Guide cover etiquette tips, helpful hints, how to say things in French, how to dress for every season, how to get shop at the luxury stores, how to deal with détaxe to get the VAT back, and how to get reservations, among other topics. The Paris Guide itself is divided by arrondissement which helps you plan where to go in each neighborhood. It also includes addresses and opening and closing times for my favorite hotels, stores, museums, restaurants, and more.

A Google Map link is also included so you can see everything laid out across the city. The key to the map is color coded and broken out by type of place such as hotels, shopping, restaurants, museums, and more. The Google Map will automatically update if I make any changes or additions. New additions can be found at the bottom of each category on the map legend.

As a bonus, I also include a separate PDF of the restaurants and cafes that are classics for lunch and dinner, as well as my favorites so you can easily make your reservations. I’ve also added an additional free supplement outlining all the latest museum exhibitions and art fairs. There is also one more supplement I’ve added on but I’m keeping it a secret just for purchasers.

You can either print the guide out or save it to your documents. I also saved it to my Files on my iPhone so I can reference it while I’m out and about. The Google Map link can be saved as a bookmark in your internet browser on your computer and phone.

My Paris Guide took years of work and because it’s so extensive, I’m charging $50.

There is no link to order so please follow these directions on how to order.

HOW TO ORDER:

There is no link to order. The way to order is to send $50 via Venmo to @habituallychic with your email address in the Notes section. You do not need to enter the last four digits of my phone number.

I also accept PayPal by my email address habituallychic@gmail.com. Please also include your email address in the notes section.

I only accept Venmo or PayPal. Do not click on any pop up ads. If you are asked for your credit card number, you have clicked on an ad. I do not ask for or accept credit cards.

You’d be surprised how many people don’t include their email address so if you forget, you can send me a DM via my Instagram account or email me at habituallychic@gmail.com.

If you send payment with your email address during business hours, the guide is usually emailed out immediately or within an hour. If I happen to be out, I will send the guide when I get home. If you send payment overnight, I will send the guide via email in the morning.

I haven’t created a link to order because I am often updating the guide and I prefer to send it out personally. You will receive multiple PDF docs. This allows me to easily update the guide.

I am not currently accepting checks or credit cards.

IMPORTANT: The Paris Guide email will sometimes end up in your Spam or Promotions or even the Trash folder so if you don’t receive it in one day, please check your Spam, Promotions, and Trash messages. You may need to refresh the folder for it to appear.

I am no longer responsible if you delete the email without saving the guide on your computer so please take the time to save it and/or print it out. It will not be replaced.

As I’ve mentioned, my Paris Guide has been in the making for ten years and includes all my first-hand experience dealing with Paris and the French. One of the main reasons I offered it for sale is because I know Paris and the French can be intimidating and difficult, especially with the language barrier. I walk you through everything to help you easily navigate the city and its residents so you can have the best possible trip.

Merci beaucoup!

XOXO,

Outfit No. 4: This Floral Flounce Cocktail Dress is perfect for any drinks event. I’d pair it with some fun red Satin Bow Mules, Gold Leaf Clutch, and lipstick red Pavé Crystal Kiss Stud Earrings.

Outfit No. 5: You will be chic and comfortable in this Jersey Cocktail Dress. The silver Crocodile-Embossed Metallic Leather Sandals are a perfect party shoe. You will have the Embellished Satin Clutch and the Earrings in Metal with Pearls and Crystals in your wardrobe forever.

Outfit No.6: You will be the best dressed at any soiree in this Draped Cape Gown. Those of you who like really high heels with love these 100mm Crystal-Embellished Nubuck Mules. I love the contrast of the glacier colored Leather Knot Minaudière and 14K-Gold-Plated & Crystal Textured Drop Earrings.

You can finish all the outfits off with Wolford 10 Denier Hose for a bit of French girl flair too.

Happy Holidays!

This is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the retailers and brands who support Habitually Chic.

For Small Business Saturday tomorrow, I’m highlighting my friend Heidi Wynne’s brand. Heidi designs her collection in the Hudson Valley where she is currently renovating a country house. She used to be my neighbor on the Upper East Side and we met when her brand was very new and her focus was cashmere wraps. Heidi’s wraps make such a thoughtful gift and I always carry one when I travel. Heidi’s brand has since expanded and she also offers timeless fisherman knit sweaters that are made in Ireland and Fair Isle crewnecks that are made in Scotland.

Since Heidi is a very small business, she carries limited inventory and will not be restocking again this season. It is best to place your order as soon as possible before she sells out of your color or size. Heidi offers free exchanges and ships quickly from New York via UPS Ground. She will often upgrade the shipping to the Midwest and West Coast at her own expense to make sure your packages arrive quickly for the holidays. UPS Ground is just one or two days transit time for most of the east coast. Heidi will ship the same day or the very next day depending on the time that you order. If you have any questions about transit times, please email info@heidwynne.com.

Heidi is also generously offering Habitually Chic readers a 20% discount for the holidays. The HOLIDAY20 discount is available site-wide on heidiwynne.com and is automatically applied during checkout until December 30, 2024 with no code needed.

Happy Holidays!

XOXO,

Her Deep Purple Cashmere Isabelle Wrap is such a striking color and was recently featured in my Substack post, Cinema Chic: Outfits Inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow in A Perfect Murder.

The Loden Green Alexandra Wrap is a beautiful shade of dark green that is both timeless yet also on trend right now. It’s perfect for a holiday party or with a navy cashmere sweater and denim after the holidays.

The Habitually Chic color that I developed with Heidi ages ago continues to be one of her best-selling colors. It is shown here with Heidi’s Made in Scotland Ryan V-Neck.

This deep rich shade of Merlot is perfect for a holiday party or with a grey wool blazer after the holidays.

Heidi’s Isabelle Wrap is her heaviest weight cashmere and is shown above in her Dark Navy color which is a shade I asked Heidi to offer. The Isabelle is also offered in Black, Moss Green, and Ivory.

Chocolate Brown is such a chic alternative to black and looks great with camel and heather grey.

Heidi’s classic Fisherman Knit Crewneck, shown above in Cream, is made in Ireland by a family-run mill that Heidi has been working with for many years. She suggests sizing down in this style as it runs large.

The crewneck is also available in Forest Green. In addition to sizing down, another recommendation is layering it over a chambray shirt if you have sensitivity to wool.

The Forest Green color is also available as a cardigan and is shown here over Heidi’s Made in Scotland Ryan V-Neck in Oat. This cardigan runs true to size and is not oversized.

The Cream Fisherman Knit Cardigan can be worn over a slip dress for a holiday party.

Heidi’s Millbrook Sweater, shown above in Grey, is a chunky ribbed cardigan that is so cozy and warm.

The Millbrook is also offered in Green and is one of Heidi’s favorite sweaters. It is also Made in Ireland.

Heidi’s classic Fisherman Knit Turtleneck is such a classic and perfect for the colder winter months and ski trips. She suggests ordering a size down in this style as it runs large.

The turtleneck is also offered in Navy Blue, which Heidi named The Litchfield. She suggests sizing down in this style unless you prefer a roomier fit.

Heid’s most popular turtleneck is her Catskill Turtleneck. She suggests dressing it up for a holiday party with a long black silk maxi skirt and jeweled sling backs. This style does not run large, so Heidi suggests taking your usual size or one size up if you prefer an oversized fit.

Heidi’s Rhinebeck Fair isle Crewneck, shown above in beige multi, is also offered in black multi and a colorful grey fair isle print. This style runs slightly small, and Heidi is finding that most customers prefer their usual size. The Rhinebeck and the Hudson were made in one of the oldest mills in Scotland.

The Rhinebeck in grey multi is a fun holiday sweater.

Heidi’s Hudson Fair Isle has a nostalgic 80’s vibe.

Heidi’s men’s styles are now available in her Gift Shop, including this classic Fisherman Knit Crewneck for men, pictured above on Ben. You can also find other thoughtful gifts including a selection of her favorite books, a fisherman knit dog sweater and cashmere scarves.

A friendly reminder that Heidi’s HOLIDAY20 special offer is available site-wide on heidiwynne.com until December 30,2024 and Heidi will ship quickly to ensure that you receive your purchases in time for the holidays. The 20% discount will be automatically applied during checkout, with no code needed.

If you have any questions about transit times, please feel free to email info@heidiwynne.com.

In case you missed the news, Belmond just unveiled their new Britannic Explorer, A Belmond Train, the first luxury sleeper train in England and Wales, which will debut in July 2025.

The pioneering train fuses a celebration of timeless rail heritage with contemporary British gastronomy, culture, and style. Fine dining experiences will be designed by renowned Chef Simon Rogan, celebrated for his innovative approach and the exceptional quality across his restaurants, which collectively hold eight Michelin stars and two Michelin Green stars worldwide; his acclaimed establishment, L’Enclume, is a highlight of his culinary vision.

An on-board wellness suite provides therapies designed to relax and revive and considered cultural programming invites travelers to discover the essence of Britain, offering an unparalleled perspective and exclusive access to some of the nations’ hidden gems.

The Britannic Explorer will depart from London, offering three-night journeys with a choice of three evocative routes through the spectacular natural landscapes of Cornwall, The Lake District, and Wales. By day, optional off-train guided excursions will showcase the rich cultural tapestry, beauty, and history of each destination, and by night, passengers can unwind and mingle in the train’s botanically inspired Bar, located in the Observation Car, set to be the vibrant social heart of the Britannic Explorer.

London-based studio, Albion Nord, has created serenely elegant interiors with an unmistakable British charm, distinct to the train. Combining a color palette inspired by the breathtaking natural world beyond the expanse of picture-windows, with heritage motifs and playful details, the ensuing environment is both tranquil and vibrant.

Each of the Britannic Explorer’s 18 cabins couple sophistication with comfort. The three Grand Suites and 15 Suites have been carefully crafted in Britain and delicately designed to make the experience of the journey as extraordinary as the destination. Inspired by sweeping views of Britain’s rugged coastlines and rolling hills, each moment is transformed into a visual feast, whether passengers feel at home in the privacy of their cabin, relaxing in the onboard spa, or indulging in the Bar and restaurant cars. 

Sounds like a great a great way to travel, as long as no one is murdered during the trip.

I promised my followers I’d write a post on the fashion of film The Thomas Crown Affair so I put these three outfits together with chic pieces from Saks to get you started. They have so many great brands at a wide range of price points so there is something for everyone.

Rene Russo as Catherine Banning wore a lot of knit separates and great coats in the film designed by Michael Kors for Celine in 1998. I decided to base every outfit on a sweater dress since they are so cozy and comfortable. That means they are perfect for those of you who are required to go back to the office full time.

The Toteme Open-Front Wool Coat looks very similar to the one Rene Russo wears in the film. The Prozena Schouler Eden Merino Wool-Blend Pleated Midi-Dress dress looks black but it’s actually navy. The tan Bernardo Milano Knee-High Pointed Toe Boots have a great block heel for walking to work. I’ve been liking more color for this fall and winter like this Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Crocodile-Embossed Leather Bag in celadon. This is actually one of my favorite colors. The Freya Begonia Wool Flat-Brimmed Fedora is perfect for all the cold but sunny days we’ve been having lately. For dry winter skin, try the The Rejuvenating Night Cream from La Mer.

Originally, I had the dresses paired with different coats but in the film she wears a lot of tone on tone outfits. You could definitely mix and match any of these coats and dresses to create the perfect outfit for you or to mix things up for the work week.

In this outfit, we’re not literally replicating it since it’s hard to find that specific color but using it as inspiration for this Elie Tahari Ashley Cashmere V-Neck Sweaterdress topped with the garnet colored Mackage Belted Light Wool Coat. For accessories, I’d pair black Staud Wally Suede Knee-High Boots and black Loro Piana Jasmine Rabbit Hair Felt Pillbox Hat. As for a handbag, I’d go out on a limb and add Simkhai Aria Leopard Calfhair Mini Bag for a fun pop of pattern. Add a pop of color to your eyes too with the Gucci Palette de Beauté Quatuor Eyeshadow Palette.

I love wearing grey in the colder months so I had to include a grey outfit only slightly inspired by the grey ensemble she wears in the film.

I’d start with the long grey Toteme Cable-Knit Wool Maxi Sweaterdress. I’ve had knit dresses and skirts hemmed by my tailor in case you think it looks too long. I also love patterned coats with solid colored outfits so I’d top it with this Long Grey Checked Coat. You could obviously add black boots but why not try something different like these cream colored Stuart Weitzman Naomi Lacquered Leather Boots. The Passementerie Leather Bag is from a hot new brand Destree that should be on your radar. Rene Russo wears gloves throughout the film but that was in 1999 before mobile phones became ubiquitous so instead, I added hats like this Hat Attack Ruby Wool Fedora to her outfits. You can finish off all three outfits with the Limited Edition Dior Forever Liquid Sequin Lipstick.

I hope these three outfits from Saks let you channel your inner Catherine Banning.

XOXO,

HC
