Barbie Dream House Vacations

There’s a new Barbie in town, and this modern version keeps it real. With this year’s summer blockbuster movie, gone is the veneer of the perfect Stepford-wife, with the perfect life. Instead, this Barbie is a Boss with a capital B who shows what’s under the hood of success. Another current update? It’s Ken hosting the parties that happen to be in Malibu. We can’t make this stuff up. There’s a real-life Barbie dream house out there, and it’s on…

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games

It’s already the experience of a lifetime to go to the Olympics but add in Paris and special access as if you’re on the Olympic Committee, and now we’re talking. Yes, there are VIP seats, a special entrance, exclusive lounges, and hosts to shuttle you around to your seats.

Designer Beach Clubs

It’s not even enough to have a DJ who knows his way around a turntable and can create the vibe for a perfect beach day. Nowadays, you have to have a top fashion house design your beach club. Who knew that Dior designed beach loungers, and Missoni did umbrellas? Well, they do, as do a slew of other fashion designers who created this year’s top…

Pallas Paris

It was an act of cathartic rebellion to throw away all our workwear during Covid. After the past couple of years, it seemed like we might all be remote forever, cycling through zoom-formal cashmere-blend sweaters and whatever else on the bottom. But of course, the office beckons; even if only because it’s actually nice to grab coffee with your coworkers at least a couple of times a week. For such occasions, a new suit will be necessary. A suit from…

Where to Stay in Provence

Whoever said to stop and smell the flowers must have been in Provence. We’re in the depths of summer, but this is still the one place in France that’s relatively unspoiled.

So, what are you left with? Well, in this case, you have the countryside of…

Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes

There are some things that are almost guaranteed to be a home run. And Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes are one of them. House rentals can be arbitrary; you can have a great pad, but not have the staff to back it up. Though, the point is moot when MO is running the show. These are a few of our favorite baller villas still available to rent this August. Mandarin Oriental isn’t just a luxury hospitality brand that specializes in award-winning…

Menorca, The Spanish Island to Know

You know the Hollywood cliché of every guy and girl who have been “just friends” for ages. Guy dates every Mrs. Wrong even when Mrs. Right has been his BFF all along. This story has only been done, like, a gazillion times, just subbing out the players, the cities, and the sidekick supporting actors. Well, this also applies to vacation spots, and this one may just have the potential to be true love. Because sometimes there’s a destination right under…
