It’s snowing this morning in New York so I can’t think of a better time to revisit my recent trip to Los Cabos, Mexico with THIRDHOME. At the beginning of the trip, I was looking at all the traditional Mexican architecture with warm colors and terra cotta roofs and wondered if anyone ever designed anything white and […]
As I mentioned, I’m in Los Cabos, Mexico with THIRDHOME. It’s such a treat to get away from cold New York for a few days. As usual, you can follow my adventures in real time on Instagram. “Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of […]
One of my favorite trips was the week I spent in Morocco in late 2011. One of the places we didn’t visit though was Tangier. I posted a few of these photos from of the home of Bruno Frisoni and Hervé Van der Straeten in Tangier, Morocco from Vogue but I just found more new photos that give a more […]
We’re bracing for a Nor’easter here in New York today. The grey and cold weather has me thinking of traveling somewhere warm again. Luckily, I do have two warm trips on the horizon but I’m wishing one of them was to Morocco so I could stay at Villa Mauresque. The house belongs to Trudi Ballard, who is the head […]
I don’t usually like theme weeks but I have warm weather on the brain this week. It’s partially due to the arctic weather this past weekend and my upcoming trip to Grand Cayman on Thursday. Although, I wish I was visiting Portugal after seeing Christian Louboutin‘s house on the coast. It actually reminds me a […]
It’s 18 degrees in New York right now so it seems like the perfect time to revisit my trip to the InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort and Spa in Cozumel, Mexico last month. For those of you not familiar with Cozumel, it is an island in the Caribbean off Yucatán Peninsula opposite Playa del Carmen and is a […]
I arrived in Mexico today, just in time to escape the cold snap that is expected in New York this weekend. I’m staying at the Presidente InterContinental Hotel in Cozumel where it’s 85 degrees and sunny. I’ll be exploring the San Gervasio Ruins tomorrow and trying to fit in as many spa treatments and sunning […]
Just a quick note to let you know that I’m visiting Charleston this weekend. My friend and I walked over seven miles yesterday exploring the city and have loved every minute so far. I’m also really enjoying the Planter’s Inn where I am staying. The Ultimate Coconut Cake from their restaurant, The Peninsula Grill, really […]
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 […]
