    Bringing the Hotel Thoumieux Home

    By Sara Bliss on March 8, 2014
    Designed by  India Mahdavi, the Hotel Thoumieux in Paris is sort of a design junkies version of Alice-in-Wonderland. The 15-room hotel is a happy riot of bright colors and cool patterns, paired with whimsical furniture.Compared to the posh, grand hotels in Paris, I love that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. I did a Get the Look post last year that includes […]

    Checking into Maroma on the Riveria Maya

    By Sara Bliss on March 4, 2014
    Given how easy it is to get to (a 3-hour plus flight from NYC to Cancun and then a quick 30-minute taxi ride from the airport), I was surprised at how totally magical and lush Maroma is.

    Get the Look: JK Place Florence

    By Sara Bliss on February 17, 2014
    Whether it’s your wardrobe or your pad, a totally neutral palette of black, white, and gray makes everything infinitely easier.  Everything always goes together making decorating that much easier. It’s also more wallet-friendly way to go (cream  or black canvas upholstery can always be scored on the cheap).  Ultimately, the payoff is that the trio of hues always look impossibly chic […]
