With new stylish hotels and resorts on the rise, it is no wonder that Jamaica is getting a Jamaica - over! Personally, I've always been a fan of the island for one reason - the singularity of the Jamaican culture. Beautiful beaches and interesting topography notwithstanding, the Jamaican people truly define the richness and vibrancy of the island.
So break out your old UB40 CD, grab a rum punch and...
Paige's favorite Thanksgiving EBTT (everything but the turkey) sweet and savory dishes; some old, some new, some tried and true...gobble, gobble! These dishes are so great, you can serve them throughout the holiday season!

Recently, InStyle Magazine asked me to share some insider tips on storing and caring for personal jewelry (check out the blurb in the October issue!) The simple but fool proof methods shared below have been mined from my own experiences, those of friends and accessory junkies. I hope that they are as good for you as they were for me - or at least help you get organized! Personally, I'm...
I organized a dinner party this weekend and my friend complimented me on my eclectic music selection. I decided to dedicate a blog post to music and to share some of my favorite playlists.
Creating the perfect playlist is crucial for a dinner party because it sets the ambiance and the mood for the evening. I typically choose lounge, relaxing music and I enjoy latin rhythms. If there's dancing involved, I...

Last night we celebrated FNO with the singular and divine, Bergdorf Goodman. Although we participate in the spirited fete each year - often by styling shoppers for photo ops - this most recent event packed an extra punch in that it coincided with BG's 111th Anniversary. We were delighted not only to be on hand for the evening's festivities but even more so to have had the honor of creating...

Look no further! We have your new favorite coffee table book (which will inspire all kinds of conversation!) Gail Albert Halaban, an uber talented photographer (and one of Paige’s dearest friends) has been photographing city dwellers peering into their neighbors’ windows for years (with their consent, of course!) Gail began this project by wanting to see the whole city…and the only way to do that was to...
Greenport L.I. gets a serious dose of boho chic with the opening of Eureka, a new pop up store specializing in drool-worthy beach clothing, home products and accessories from around the world.

Nothing says summer more than an intimate outdoor gathering of friends, delicious food and some wishful drinking!
All of the ingredients were local from the North Fork of Long Island.

In homage to Coco I will not reveal my exact source, but I will however gladly admit to an annual trek up to Beacon, New York where I mine much of my design inspiration: the D.I.A. Art Foundation.

After four years of a highly successful fashion jewelry line, we are pleased to announce the launch of our first fine jewelry collection, PHYNE by Paige Novick.
Don’t worry- our beloved fashion jewelry line isn’t going anywhere! Creating our PHYNE line was organic- as Paige...
In honor of Mother’s Day (let’s face it, every day is really mother's day) I have put together a list of some of my favorite spots to frequent with my 5 year-old son, Luca.
Birch Coffee- My son lives for the croissant and egg combo.
Dumbo, Brooklyn – We always start with a yummy brunch at Bubby’s, then head straight...
A fine jewelry designer for 32 years- catering to a private clientele- my mother taught me everything I know about diamonds and gemstones.
A trailblazer in her own right dabbling in black rhodium in the 1970's before it was considered chic. My sense of proportion, asymmetry and color all grew out of my exposure to my mother's unique and artistic vision. Even if it was...
Tick-tock- it's that time of the year again! The day designated to show mommy dearest exactly how much she means to us. While we shower her with our love, there's nothing like a little token to remind her how special she is to us year round.
No two moms are alike- we have the perfect presents picked for your special lady.
For our retro mamas out there,...
Now that you've caught a glimpse of my town mouse ways, I think you're ready for the real Paige. On any given Saturday (dead of winter notwithstanding) you might find me soaking up some local culture on Long Island's North Fork. Follow me, if you will, on my journey to the other side (of Long Island, that is!)
First Stop: W.M. J. Mills in Southhold

Nothing stirs my creative juices like a good art and antique show of the 20th Century variety. Lucky for me this weekend was the annual NYC 20th Century Art & Design show under the tents at Lincoln Center.
This year boasted more vintage jewelry than ever and Sally Rosen Gallery was the last word showcasing one of kind pieces, from artists like Max Ernst, Roy Lichtenstein...
When it comes to color blocking there are a few steadfast rules that I would like to impart, having experimented with the trend du jour in the privacy of my own closet.
Rule # 1
Go easy or you will look like you stepped out of the Hanna Anderson catalogue. In other words, pick one bold color to highlight and let the other brights/neons in the ensemble...
Each season (Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter) my PR firm schedules "Press Previews" which are two days of back to back meetings held at their offices where market editors and stylists come to view and photograph the collection in its entirety. Having real face time with the editors is critical with respect to staying on their radar. Furthermore the preview provides me with a platform in which to present the collection...

Rendezvous with European buying office and a lunch afterwards with the principals at the Hotel Costes -one of my favorite hot spots.

Arrived at L'Empire, a sweet little boutique hotel off of the rue Saint-Honoré. While it's not the George IV, it epitomizes affordable luxury at its best with super chic and modern decor, spacious rooms, conveniently situated and most importantly a staff that treats you like a member of the family -and for that I remain a loyal patron.
Part One: Paige is off to Paris...
I'm on my way! Embarking on the first leg of the trip, which promises to be a veritable fashion fest-Parisian style. Naturally multiple wardrobe and accessory changes a must, hence my super- sized luggage a la Carrie Bradshaw!

Desksides are one of our favorite PR events here at Paige Novick. A deskside is when a designer brings their new collection directly to the editor of a publication, usually in their offices, and explains the story they want to tell with their work and the inspiration behind it. It’s a great way for the designer and editor to have some one-on-one contact, and who better to represent a brand...
Hello, friends! As I’m sure you are all well aware, Fashion’s Night Out was last night, and we had a blast! For the second year in a row, Paige was a featured designer at Bergdorf Goodman’s star-studded event, where she spun “The BG Wheel of Fashion” on 5F and presented a few lucky winners with some great pieces, including the rocker-chic gunmetal Stella Necklace and the...
