She’s clearly in it for the love of the game. Or in this case, the slopes. (After all, how does one qualify as a 40-plus-year-old, unless you’re in it for the love of the game)? But having said that, Lindsey Vonn may do more for these Olympics than broadcast from the stands. The Best of Cortina When Lindsey isn’t competing in the Olympics, she’s taking in the best of Cortina. This includes all the haunts that only someone who has…
Everyone needs a little Italian in their life, and that includes Parisians.

The Jacquemus x Nike Après Ski Collection The Jacquemus x Nike Après Ski collection is a small one with only 18 pieces across…
It was a travesty when the Louvres des Antiquaires market in Paris closed its doors. But as they say, when one door closes, another opens for Cartier. In this case, it’s the Cartier Foundation. Paris officially has a new museum for contemporary art that’s earned its way onto your circuit. Founded in 1984 by Alain Dominique Perrin (then president of Cartier International), the foundation has maintained strict separation between its artistic mission and Maison Cartier’s commercial operations. It’s a distinction…
We know that you don’t need much to hop on a plane – a top restaurant has you booking a ticket, like, yesterday. For a list like this, though, the destination has to be a place you wouldn’t necessarily put on the list. Of course New York, Paris, Rome and Tokyo, for example, are places that as a world traveler, are already firmly on the circuit. Even Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami have their virtues and conveniences for work. In…
We’d like to thank Katy for hard launching her relationship with a certain former Prime Minister on IG. Even better that it was while they were on vacay in Japan. Perry has done it all, from her time in space to dating a Canadian prime minister, all while performing as a world-renowned pop star. She’s known for juggling a busy schedule. This trip to Japan is exemplary of doing it all and somehow managing it. The Teenage Dream singer toured…
