Miami Beach Winter Staycation

 

A few weeks ago, I went to South Beach for the ultimate staycation. I have a top five favorite list of hotels in Miami Beach, and the Loews Hotel Miami Beach, located on Collins, in the heart of South Beach, is on that list. I finally had the opportunity to stay at this amazing resort, and it did not disappoint. 

The VIP check in starts you off for a fantastic and relaxing experience with snacks, champagne, and a very welcoming staff. After a quick check in, Louie and I went up to our ocean front room. I always say, if you can't see the ocean from your Miami Beach hotel room, it's not a vacation. I love seeing the ocean from my balcony, and waking up to it, and seeing the pink skies reflecting the sunset from the West at magic hour- it's the best thing, and it completely relaxes you.  

The highlights of the Loews Miami Beach for me were the spa, the fabulous & famous old school Italian restaurant, RAO's.(Seriously, the best Italian food!), and Soak, the private adult-only pool area. I would go back here just to experience any of those experiences again. I can't even begin to tell you how good the food was at RAO's, especially the Italian salad, and the meatballs. Luckily, it's opened to the public, so anyone can dine at this old school Italian restaurant originally from New York. I will definitely be back for dinner in the future! 

I most definitely enjoyed sitting pool side at the hotel's adult-only private cabana's called, Soak. I am a foodie, so the menu was very impressive. I spent hours eating delicious food and sipping virgin strawberry daiquiris. It was so peaceful, and even though I am more of a beach person, I didn't even make it to the beach this stay, because the pool was so fabulous. I even brought my laptop and worked in between sun bathing. 

I highly recommend the Loews South Beach because it's an entire resort, and you really never have to leave since they offer everything. They also offer a fabulous lobby bar, a lobby gift shop, and a great breakfast spot called Preston's. You can't go wrong booking a trip or staycation like I did at the Loews Miami Beach- I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to visit Miami Beach.

FASHIONPHILE FLAGSHIP NYC VISIT

Happy September everyone! Last month I filmed my visit to the Fashionphile Headquarters in NYC for my YouTube channel. It was an incredible experience, and I found my dream birthday gift to myself. (You have to watch to see!) I toured their gorgeous showroom, and also got to see and try on beautiful handbags from all different designers.

Fashionphile is about making pre-owned, ultra-luxury goods accessible. They are all about guaranteed-authentic Holy Grail products in great condition, and quick buy-outs on pieces you’re ready to sell. They have just about every designer you can think of. A large assortment and variety of designer handbags from previous and present collections are located in their handbag "Cages" in the a high secured area in the back of the showroom.

I hope you watch my visit on my Youtube channel for the full experience. Stay safe, and have a fabulous week!

SUMMER IN THE CITY

 

Alright, you already know how much I love NYC. (In fact, I will have a special announcement coming in the Fall 🤭 stay tuned.) I've pretty much spent my whole Summer in the city, (while also traveling to Chicago and San Francisco for the first time for a few days each. Those posts are coming soon!) I always make sure my schedule is completely packed when I go to the city, and I make sure almost every hour is accounted for and fulled with fashion appointments, lunch meetings, content photoshoots, and dinners. The goal is to be as productive as possible. I also filmed a luxury shopping post on my YouTube channel so make sure to check that out!

I think I always manage to eat at Serafina or Cipriani (they both have multiple locations throughout the city), each time I visit NYC. This time, I ate at both. I absolutely love Italian food so much. I especially love dressing up and going out to eat. That's just a major passion in my life. I remember going to the city back in 2013 and 2014, the start of my career, and I would be so excited to style my shoes to my looks for each activity. Well, ten years later, and nothing has changed!  

I stayed at two hotels this trip, the first one was located downtown and the most stunning rooftop views in the entire city, in my opinion. Hotel 50 Bowery is located in Chinatown, and is so close to SoHo and Tribeca, If you like to shop like me, and visit SoHo frequently- this hotel is perfect for you. The rooftop alone should make you want to stay here. The views are so fabulous. You can see The World Trade Center, the "Jenga Building" officially called 56 Leonard, The Empire State Building, and The Chrysler Building all at the same time. 

I went to a fabulous event for my friend's 45th Birthday at Love Shack Fancy Madison, located on the Upper East Side. Another neighborhood I absolutely love. After her girly pink birthday cocktail hour, I went to Avra on Madison, nearby on the Upper East Side, another one of my absolute favorite restaurants of all time. (There is also a gorgeous location in Sunny Isles, Miami that I adore.) 

I cannot wait to be back in the city in a few days. I have two very exciting appointments that I cannot wait to share with you guys. Stay tuned and have a fabulous week!
