Chic Eats

We stumbled into this darling little place for lunch, before our afternoon exploration of Hora on Kythnos island. Kythnos was not originally on our itinerary but fortunately we had wifi strong enough to find this super shabby chic place for a midday snack. I had found the restaurant’s name in English, Psipsína, but when we were walking down a side street from the center to find it, we had some difficulty as none of the sinage was in legible for us. Eventually, the few people

Charleston was one of the most beautiful places… I have ever visited and it’s certainly somewhere I would return in a heartbeat. It also made me eager to visit more of the American South, an opportunity to connect with the other half of the country I am much less familiar with. Of course I only spent a weekend here with my sister, so I am by no means creating this guide with much expertise, but I am sharing what we did and loved most during our very short stay. Aside from so

Exploring the restaurant and food scene… has become one of my favorite parts of traveling to new places and perhaps the best part for me is doing all the research beforehand, which of course I did for this trip. Thanks to Instagram, it’s fairly easy to find pictures of delicious food and beautiful restaurants to venture to. I love using the save tool in order to keep track of all the great spots that come up on my feed and my Charleston section was completely full well before

Pretty in pink… is just scratching the surface here in terms of describing this beautiful new bakery at the new Palisades Village in the Pacific Palisades. Sweet Laurel Bakery has been one of the most notable brands specializing in dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and grain-free baked goods for quite some time. Selling in stores all over California and having a wonderfully beautiful selection of Instagram-worthy cakes and treats, has garnered lots of visi

I think New York City is now my favorite place in America to visit, Miami comes in as a close second. I would love to have an extended stay at some point, perhaps a month to fully feel like I have lived a little life as a pseudo New Yorker. Hopefully at some point I will get the chance to do this and perhaps replicate it in a few other destinations too; most importantly in London/Surrey so I can basically repeat the plot of the beloved seasonal classic, The Holiday. But for m

Roku Sunset , West Hollywood I have to admit, I was pretty sour about trying this spot after it replaced one of my favorite spaces and restaurants, Rivabella, which is sadly no longer. But I came randomly with my girlfriends and I was very pleasantly surprised. Starting from the golden pineapple lamp stands to the dry ice cocktail with a pink hibiscus flower, I was in love before we even sat down to eat. They also gave out free sake shots and had an amazing DJ who set the sce

Oh, why hello heaven… I stumbled across this lovely slice of blue and white mastery during my research for my Miami trip. And yes I do research before trips, who doesn’t? It was quite a mystery figuring out where this was until I realized there were not just one, but two SLS hotels in Miami, this one being the newly opened SLS Brickell just 15 minutes away from south beach. It then became my main priority to find this majestic piece of art, and here it is. Appropriately named

Mi   amor Miami and who would have thought! To be honest I have always written this sexy beach city off until my dear friend planned her bachelorette party here and I finally experienced the first of hopefully many trips. I loved the bright colors and vibrant culture of all the beautiful people and places. My time here was quite limited, and so this is definitely a preliminary guide, but please reach out if you have any other recommendations! I can’t wait to get back! Enjoy!

As much as I love  supperclubbing with friends, I can’t help but think about how beautiful some of these places become at night with someone special. For me, adding the sound of ocean waves or some twinkle lights to a tree is enough to make me swoon. But I’ve noticed a certain essence to these places that makes for a little something extra special. There are so many great places to eat out in this city, but here are the ones I specifically have fallen for in Los Angeles. Enjo

Why hello darling! I’m so excited to share my favorite brunch spots in Santa Monica! As a lifestyle blogger and twenty-something in Los Angeles I am always on the hunt for great spots to meet with girlfriends on the weekend. I’ve rounded up my most classic and beloved places to throw on some sunnies, drink a mimosa and recap the week’s highlights. Enjoy! 1.   Ivy at the Shore   I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. As indicated, it’s right on ocean avenue in S

I don’t quite know where to begin in describing the magic of San Ysidro Ranch . Located right off the Santa Barbara coast, tucked between the lovely residential area of Montecito and canyons, the property is everything I love: plush greenery, romance and an undeniable charm. I came here right around sunset for a lovely dinner with my special guy and left with a heart filled with admiration and a borderline obsession with this idyllic place. It truly stole my heart, and here’s

My favorite thing about Los Angeles would have to be the almost perfect climate. Second, would be the city’s proximity to so many other absolutely beautiful places, like Carmel by the Sea, Santa Barbara, Ojai, Del Mar, Laguna Beach, Napa, and of course, Palm Springs! Palm Springs is a resort town in the desert, known for it’s mid-century architecture, making it truly feel like a blast back to the 70’s, straight out of Slim Aarons’ poolside gossip! Here are some of the places

I realize we have hit sweater weather, yes, even in Los Angeles. However, I couldn’t have left out such an amazing trip from this year. After spending a few days in New York City this summer (one of those days being my 25th birthday) my friends and I traveled a few hours out to an east coast oasis, causally known as, The Hamptons. It’s a wonderful summer spot, a classic strip of East Coast communities. If I could live anywhere between the months of June and August, it would b

Here’s a big secret about me… this was my FIRST time in the big apple, New York City! I know, it’s shocking and terribly embarrassing, but it’s true. Fortunately, I waited until my 25th birthday and made it an awesome trip nonetheless! Here are some of the highlights. FIRST and foremost, when starting to plan this ambitious two and a half day trip I had one thing on the very top of my list. And that was to see Eloise at the Plaza! Like many other young girls I grew up adoring
