Bazaar Mar Miami
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

The Miami Guide
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!

The Most Romantic Restaurants In Los Angeles
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

Solvang California
I love small towns… And I have been meaning to check out Solvang, a quaint little Dutch town, for quite some time. Last week my mother was in town for the holidays and so we took a small trip up to Santa Barbara and made a quick stop as it’s only 45 minutes northeast of Santa Barbara, before heading to my favorite place in Montecito. We didn’t have too much time so we literally just walked up and down the main city street off Copenhagen Drive, after getting some recommenda

San Ysidro Ranch Stole My Heart
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

The Palm Springs Guide
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

In The Spirit Of The Hamptons
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

Monica In New York City
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
