Jill Kargman Checks into The Wheatleigh

By Sara Bliss on October 22, 2010As the Global Lifestyle Editor of Delta Sky magazine, Jason Oliver Nixon scours the world for the coolest places to stay. And since Jason also moonlights as an interior designer and partner in John Loecke Inc., I knew he would be the perfect person to ask to for a great design hotel. Not one to disappoint, Jason selected the fashionably […]
