Where I traveled recently: the Hamptons - visited Canoe Place in Hampton Bays which was gorgeous, featuring pool and beach set up - unique out in Long Island. I also visited Rhode Island - where I saw the newly opened Gardiner Newport, very well situated to downtown Newport - I still prefer The Vanderbilt for their amenities if I had to choose one though.
Where I’m traveling to next: Adirondacks with friends, Miraval for a girls spa trip (highly recommend, this will be my second time back - an amazing place for a fall reset), and then Barbados to do more research for you - September is a busy month!
Lately Upstate: joined Inness as a member and loving it, I do book this place all the time for clients - reach out for perks. Recently had a 12 person dinner at le canard in Kingston - never fails to hit the spot, we also went to Sonder for dinner which we loved for small apps and great wine. I made it to a new watering hole and managed to fit in some new hikes- message me for more info on these for your next trip upstate, hit the Kingston farmers market a few times, toured the newly opened Henson, and did some flower picking at Brittany hollow farm.
Lately NYC: stayed at the Indigo LES while we were attending a wedding, one of the largest hotel rooms I’ve experienced at an entry level in the city - well situated, walking distance to soho and right in the action in the lower east side.
Recently booked for clients: France is on everyone’s minds! I’ve booked Paris, Provence, Strasbourg, and Avignon recently, hotels pictured in each below. Hotel Providence Paris, Auberge Lacoste, Regent Petit France, Villa Madame, Hotel D’Europe.





Travel wish list: The Edition Riviera Maya - newly opened and bringing all the vibes from The Edition in Miami you know and love.
Reading: God of the Woods - a thriller based in the Adirondacks, can’t put it down.
Listening to: All You Children by Jamie xx
Recently purchased: found this local store in Newport RI for kids clothing, around the corner was a really great consignment store for adults too that I found a lot of gems from - I also got back into aviators and bought these le spec dupes from amazon, and a new laptop case I love.
