Everyone laments the state of travel these days but what we lack in chicness, we definitely make up for with amazing advancements in tech products. I have two back to back trips coming up so I thought I would share some of my favorite go-to products and some new finds for traveling. There is no […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I’m headed to Charleston, South Carolina in early December with my friend Dina. I have never been to Charleston but I already know I’m going to love it. I’m currently putting together my list of restaurants, historic houses, and hotels to visit. One house I […]
Everyone keeps asking me when I’m going back to Paris. Unless something comes up sooner, it probably won’t be until the Spring. In the meantime, I’m putting together my list of new places to visit and Divellec is topping the list. Le Divellec was a venerable seafood restaurant located in the Invalides area of Paris […]
I’m currently in Birmingham, Alabama for a days for a work trip. After I’m finished, interior designer Andrew Brown has generously offered to show me around and take me antiquing. I’m looking forward to seeing the town but before I left New York, I took a long walk through the city to enjoy the changing […]
Roman and Williams designed Le Coucou, the most photographed restaurant on Instagram right now and I forgot that they designed Lafayette in my last post. They have also recently designed a new hotel on Nantucket island called Greydon House. The 20-room luxury hotel is located 17 Broad Street and was originally built in the 1850’s. They set about “preserving the history and […]
According to Instagram, Greece is one of the most popular places for travel this summer. After seeing this family compound that Isabel López-Quesada designed with architect Nikos Moustroufis designed on the island of Spetses, it’s easy to see why. The base of blue floor and white walls perfectly complements the color of the water and buildings of […]
I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since we returned from our whirlwind trip to Peru. Peruvian Connection was kind enough to invite us down to experience their 40th anniversary photo shoot and visit Machu Picchu. Founder Annie Hurlbut has been going to Peru for over 40 years so we couldn’t have asked for a […]
The Ritz Paris finally reopened this Monday after a four year renovation project by the French architect and designer Thierry Despont. As he told The New York Times,“It needed a redo, but maintaining its essence and strong identity was essential, and my vision was to keep the Ritz exactly as it was but better.” The […]
I’m very excited to be traveling to Peru next week to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Peruvian Connection. I consider myself very lucky that the tall, dark and handsome Latin man I’ve been dating, who speaks fluent Spanish, is able to join me on this trip to South America. We make each other laugh […]
I thought today was going to be a good day and then men started jackhammering outside my building and my wifi decided to go on the fritz. I feel like I either need a do-over or a vacation. Right now, I’m going to pretend I’m on the French Riviera in the perfect world of Ralph […]
While I was reading the Tory Burch Blog, I saw that they photographed their Spring/Summer 2016 Look Book at Fustic House in Barbados. The gorgeous 17th-century sugar plantation was renovated by designer Oliver Messel in the 1970’s and is now available to rent for a Caribbean holiday. On first view, the exterior looks like a house you […]
I just got back from Paris last night. I have jet lag and my bags are still not unpacked so of course I’m already thinking about where I want to go next. I saw photos of the new Palazzo Dama hotel in Rome on Instagram and in the new Elle Decoration France while I was […]
According to social media, it seemed like everyone was staying at La Reserve Hotel for fashion week. Just as I put it on my must visit list, I saw that my Instagram friend David Leppan was also staying at the chic hotel. When he suggested tea, I immediately agreed to come to him to check it out. […]
As I start my second week in Paris, I thought update you on what I’ve been doing so far. The weather has been a bit temperamental so I spent a lot of my first few days trying to run errands and shopping in between rain and snow showers. I’ve attended a few gorgeous fashion shows […]
As I mentioned earlier, I’m off to Paris tonight for fashion week and a bit of holiday. I look forward to seeing old friends and new as well as all my favorite museums and sights. I also look forward to taking advantage of the low Euro to do a little shopping. You can follow all […]
I received a frantic email from my friend Decorno (who really should start blogging again) today asking me if I heard about a J.K. Place hotel opening in Malibu. Turns out that the iconic hotel group is setting up an experience J.K. Place Malibu for one week only, March 12-19, 2016 from 6:00-9:00pm. The website says, “Please […]
