NYC TO LONDON! HENNESSY X.O X KIM JONES

Style, Travel

These past few weeks have been a total Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones celebration! What began as a very intimate and chic dinner and jazz night at the Aman New York turned into a last-minute trip to London, the hometown of creative director to Fendi and Dior Mens, Kim Jones. I packed up my suitcase with sequin and feathers, naturally. This very special Hennessy bottle is a work of art, dripped in a gold casing that feels tapped into the future. There was even a robot pouring drinks at the bar of the Battersea Arts Center! It was all very surreal. London is one of my favorite cities and it was amazing to be back to see old friends, eat the best classically British chicken pot pie I’ve ever had at Kettner’s, and have some quality sister time. Our stay at the London EDITION was so amazing, we hardly had to leave the hotel. I cannot wait to hop over the pond again soon.

AWAY AT EASTWIND OLIVEREA VALLEY

Style, Travel

I have fallen in love with the interiors and beautiful architecture at the new Eastwind Hotel, Oliverea Valley. It’s chic, modern, and extremely cozy. Winter may be over and the days may be longer, but it’s still chilly enough to cuddle up in great knitwear. Packing up the car and heading upstate is something we try to do every season if we can. It’s the perfect place to read, make s’mores, and enjoy the incredible food at Dandelion, the hotel’s amazing new restaurant. This was a very luxurious way to spend a couple of days tucked away in the mountains with a good book and a glass of red wine. Sharing these relaxing moments with my family is a dream come true. This little getaway was just what we needed before kicking off another busy Spring.

THE MACALLAN DOUBLE CASK 15 IN BUDAPEST

Style, Travel

It is such an incredible experience to be an ambassador of The Macallan. Storytelling with the brand has been such a joy. I was inspired to travel far away to the elegant Botaniq Castle in Hungary with a bottle of The Macallan Double Cask 15. I was able to envision what life would be like to live in a castle in Europe. Budapest architecture is thoughtful and unique, just like this single malt whisky. European oak gives it an unmistakable subtle spice. This bottle has a sweeter, warmer taste that I just love. Give me a pour and a great dress and my evening is complete.

GETAWAY TO HILTON LOS CABOS

Style, Travel

There is so much to love about Hilton Los Cabos and it was our ideal location for our January warm-weather escape. This resort really has it all. Here is what a typical day at the fabulous Hilton Los Cabos looks like. Mornings begin with the most amazing Mexican breakfast at Talavera. Imagine freshly made tortillas for quesadillas or tacos, spicy chilaquiles, and the best smoothie bar in the world. Afternoons are for whatever you like. Slow walks on the beach. A good book by the pool. A game of tennis on the courts. Or like me, tucked away in the spa for a deep-tissue massage. Once it’s 5pm, it’s cocktail hour, and I can guarantee that you will want a round of their signature hibiscus margaritas. They are delicious. A late night at the resort after dinner are for dips in the hot tub paired with the soothing sound of the crashing waves, or on some nights, wonderful live music. I even kept the balcony doors open so I could hear the ocean as I fell asleep.

I would really wake up excited each morning at sunrise to do it all again. I like that I ease into the day and take my time when I’m in Mexico. It’s all about having a simple schedule and enjoying the present moment. I hope to carry that peaceful mentality with me everywhere I go. Make sure you book the AltaMar suites. It is paradise.
