BEAUTY ON THE GO!
The sun is out, which means winter hibernation is almost over. It’s that time of year where we start focusing on travel, and less about fashion week. And as much as I love the ability to travel the world and see historical gems, I hate that I’m not close enough to home for my bare…

HOTEL HOTSPOT| WALDORF ASTORIA
The Waldorf Astoria is an iconic pillar of New York City. Designed during the Art Deco reign by architects Schultze and Weaver – a prominent, well respected firm in the 1920s – the Waldorf is the only art deco hotel in the United States. One would have to fly to Paris to visit the second,…

BEAUTY HOTSPOT| BERENICE ELECTROLYSIS & PERSONAL BEAUTY CENTER
I’ve only been to one salon on the Upper East Side. Many times it seemed that all the new hipper places were downtown, but lately have come to find a few longtime hidden gems above East 59th. My latest find is Berenice Electrolysis and Personal Beauty Center. Founded and owned by Berenice S. Rothenberg, BEPBC…

BEAUTY HOTSPOT| SPA@THETHIRDSPACE
There’s no better way to relax than at a spa, but finding one while you’re away from home can be more difficult than one would like to admit. Last season during London Fashion Week, I was fortunate to come across a beauty hotspot called spa@thethirdspace. Apart of the Marylebone Hotel, spa@thethirdspace is a tranquil environment…

RESTAURANT HOTSPOT| 108 MARYLEBONE LANE
Last season was my first time doing London Fashion Week, and my first time returning since I was roughly 7. Navigating the city isn’t the same, shopping is very much different, and shuttling from one village to another with only a map, felt like finding a needle in a haystack. But my half-day break at…

BEAUTY HOTSPOT| UNI K WAX
It’s that time of year when we want to do nothing else but hibernate. Bundle up under our covers in our jammies and wake to bloomed tulips, birds singing and lots of hair. But since we aren’t bears and have lives to live and jobs to do, our upkeep has to stay on point. So…

WHEN IN LISBON PART II
A great way to really get to know a city is by visiting their museums. Known to house historical pieces of culture, it’s a great way to understand your surroundings, one’s way of life and sometimes personal traits. For instance, people of particular regions of a country can speak the native tongue in differential manners…

WHEN IN LISBON PART I
Many don’t know, most of Lisbon was destroyed after the earthquake in 1755. Thousands of people lost their lives and much of the Moorish, or Islamic, influence in style and architecture was lost as well. Many people it was due to the size and magnitude of the quake, but others believe the near immediate tsunami…

PLACES TO SHOP IN LISBON
When traveling you can’t help but shop. I haven’t met one person who doesn’t come back with a few knickknacks to add to their home décor. When I travel, I prefer to shop for others – like a ball in a cup for my sister, or Portuguese olive oil for my mum, or a kitchen…

WHERE TO EAT IN LISBON
This week is all about Lisbon, Portugal. The capital of the water coasted country, Lisbon, by far, was my favorite place on my tour of Europe. Waters so crisp and blue. People so humble. And a city filled with so much culture and color, every shot is photographic. But, let’s focus on what important…

HOTEL HOTSPOT|HÔTEL L’ÉCLUSE
The Moselle region is home to many things of Luxembourg – steep hills, plethora of vineyards, birthplace of Luxembourg wines, fruit trees for juices liqueurs and schnapps, but more importantly, for this story, it’s home to Hôtel l’Écluse. An eco-friendly and sustainable designed hotel, Hôtel l’Écluse was developed on the fracture of creating an environment…
