THE MAKER HOTEL X SEPHORA

Beauty, Style, Travel

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.

A FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL COLOR STORY

Style, Travel

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.

THE SANTA BARBARA RIVIERA: BELMOND EL ENCANTO

Style, Travel

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.

Style, Travel

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.
