  • Serene Chic at Amagansett’s Reform Club Inn

    By Sara Bliss on October 10, 2011
    Come September and October, the New Yorkers who give New Yorkers a bad name have cleared out and the gorgeous resort towns of Long Island become idyllic once again. Without the club hopping crowds, the fall is definitely the time to head out East. Amagansett’s Reform Club Inn offers a retreat designed with serenity in mind. The main inn, shown above, has […]
  • The Glamour of Birch at The Ranch at Rock Creek

    By Sara Bliss on October 4, 2011
    When I was looking at gorgeous pictures of the luxe Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, I came across this spectacular birch canopy bed. Handmade in Wisconsin by La Lune , it beautifully brings the outdoors in. I think the bed would be amazing in an unexpected setting, a city apartment perhaps. This reminded me of a similar bed that was […]
  • Jewelbox in the Sky: The Tiffany Suite at The St. Regis

    By Sara Bliss on July 19, 2011
    Holly Golightly’s (and many a bride-to be’s) ultimate dream pad, the Tiffany Suite at New York’s St. Regis hotel has just been unveiled.

  • Global Glamour: La Sultana Marrakech

    It is grey and rainy here in New York– an absolutely perfect day to hop on our magic carpets and get lost in the color and pattern of the divine La Sultana in Marrakech. La Sultana features 27 guest rooms and suites, plus 1 apartment, spread out over 5 restored riads. Each riad features a garden or courtyard in the […]
  • Virtual Vacation at the Borgo Santo Pietro

    By Sara Bliss on March 18, 2011
    They had me at Buon Giorno. The moment I saw images of the Borgo Santo Pietro hotel in Italy,  I fell in love at first pic. The exterior, the interior, the gardens, the cyprus trees, even the dogs! It is all so gorgeous. When the owner Jeanette Thottrup and her husband Claus purchased the c. 1218 structure, it was a ruin […]
  • Think Pink at Hideaway at the Oceana

    By Sara Bliss on March 8, 2011
    The perfect pink! Not too girly, not too Pepto, and not too bright, the dusty pink walls of Santa Monica’s Hideaway restaurant at the Oceana Hotel are just right. The playful, yet sophisticated, shade of pink is Sheer Rosebud (DE 5112) by green paint manufacturer, Dunn Edwards. The color would look fantastic in a powder room, bedroom, or living room. Notice the framed […]
