THE MAKER HOTEL X SEPHORA

The Maker Hotel in Hudson, New York is one of my favorite hotels of all time. I stayed in the artist suite and it truly felt like I had stepped into a traveling artist’s home, getting a closeup look at all their collectibles. I fell in love with the effortlessly chic, French, lived-in, feel of the room. It was perfectly imperfect. The Maker mixes the old with the new and there are plenty of artful pieces to discover. I was in town to for a special dinner with the founders to celebrate the launch of the Dream Eau de Parfum now at Sephora. The hotel’s fragrances are known to be potent, powerful, and highly addictive and this one is just that. Dream is an enchanting vanilla fantasy. So for all my vanilla gourmand lovers, this one is for you. For a quick trip like this, pack a ton of your best cashmere, a good engineer boot, and one perfect black dress for when you’re feeling sultry. Oh, and splash of Dream. 

 

LALIQUE MANHATTAN DIAMOND NECKLACE AT Maison d’Artiste!

Honored to wear this iconic diamond Lalique Manhattan Necklace for opening night of their global flagship, Maison d’Artiste! It resides in the historic Chopard Mansion and the space is absolutely phenomenal, and feels like you’re stepping into the most luxurious townhouse on the Upper East Side, full of exquisite French crystal and glass creations of course. The Manhattan Necklace is a wonderful high jewelry piece made exclusively for the flagship and it is so spectacularly special. The design is a perfect interpretation of an original drawing by René Lalique that was taken from the house’s archives: white gold, entirely paved with diamonds, and illustrates New York’s iconic skyline. It required 420 hours to craft. This story behind it inspires me, and it feel like such an honor to wear a piece of thoughtful art inspired by the city that I love so much around my neck.

 

A FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL COLOR STORY

I love how there are pieces from all over the world inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel. It feels like it’s own little art museum in the heart of the city. This is my second stay here for work and it’s such a special place. It inspires me to splash color on my own walls at home and collect eclectic trinkets along the way on my travels. Suddenly, you see interiors in a whole new way. There’s a quirky elegance here that tells a story, and I matched that worldly aesthetic in what I was wearing. I packed a lot of decadent brocade and metallics, cheongsam dresses from designers Khoon Hooi and Sau Lee, and fun polka-dot stockings. This is a hotel that gets me so excited to travel the world this year. The Fifth Avenue Hotel is the best of the best, proving that life truly is so much better surrounded by color. 

 

SUAREZ SISTERS X L’AGENCE

Inside a super fun, new L’AGENCE Suarez Sisters campaign! I love when we get to shoot together and take on the city, arm in arm. We really do go everywhere together and we’re rarely seen out without one another. These are sets that easily get us into spring with soft purples and grays in luxurious textures. I believe a good suit can get you through anything with confidence and ease. My calendar this week is jam packed but I love knowing that a L’AGENCE set and a gold earring is the quick 90’s supermodel look I can turn on in seconds.
