IN THE COUNTRY AT THE PENDRY NATIRAR

I love dressing for the countryside. Think nubby hand-knit sweaters and colorful tweed coats. The Pendry Natirar is a quick drive from the city, out in the gorgeous Somerset County in New Jersey, so we packed up a duffel bag, a pair of boots, and hit the road. The property is set on 500 dreamy rolling acres. Days were spent playing with the animals in the farm while nights were spent up late playing pool. Everything was created with a sustainable lifestyle in mind like gorgeous biking trails and an incredible farm-to-table menu. This is a year for not doing more, but actually doing less and with a lot more intention. I could get used to this slower, peaceful pace and Pendry Natirar embodies that mindset. It’s such a luxury. 

Thank you Pendry and Montage for featuring Dylana and I in THE DISTINCT Magazine, Winter 2025 edition! Traveling the world with the hotel group has been a dream come true. May this year be full of wonderful adventures and making more memories with the people I love.

 

THE SANTA BARBARA RIVIERA: BELMOND EL ENCANTO

A flashback to a perfect week overlooking the Santa Barbara Riviera over the holidays. This is a special place. Secluded. Magical. Peaceful. A bikini, sunscreen, and pair of capris is all you really need up here. Belmond, El Encanto is absolutely iconic. It’s a true sanctuary with so much history and so much natural beauty. When you’re here, you feel like a local. It’s luxury, wellness, and mindfulness all wrapped into one gorgeous hotel. It fully embodies a calm state of wellbeing. That’s exactly what I was looking for before entering into a brand new year. 

 

CIAO FROM BLVGARI HOTEL ROMA!

December at the BVLGARI Hotel Roma is like living in a movie. There was a real Christmas tree inside my suite, giving the entire space the aroma of pine and fir. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world getting to kick off the holiday season in true Italian style. BVLGARI Hotel Roma is a work of art. The details are just absolutely incredible from the beautiful marble baths to the private spas. The design intertwines the history of Rome like custom stonework and iconic statues finished with a new, modern touch. It’s glamorous, sensual, and a true gem in the heart of this incredible city. 

 

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE: INSTITUT ESTHEDERM

I had the most rejuvenating week of wellness in Aix-en-Provence, home to NAOS Global and their luxury skincare brand, Institut Esthederm! I got to experience the new Age Proteom Advanced Serum firsthand straight from the laboratories where their special cellular water is created, to using it on the daily as the first step in my routine throughout the trip. With the Age Proteom Advanced Serum, the skin ages twice slower. Ecobiology is the foundation of this serum and it supports and strengthens the skin’s natural abilities to adapt and regain its balance on its own. I’m so in love and in awe of what this serum can do. The enchanting Les Lodges Sainte Victoire was our home base. We went from Provence to Mariselle. It is a total French dream, especially with the locals as our guide.
