After New Years Eve, birthdays are my favorite holidays to celebrate. For mine last weekend, I decided to live out a long held fantasy of residing in a luxe hotel in New York City’s Meatpacking District, more specifically The Standard High Line. I’ve had a fascination with that hotel ever since it was erected straddling the newly minted High Line. Both developments seemed to have breathed new life into the neighborhood that I’d made so many memories in back when I […]

Wine & Food (& Boats) In South Beach
This time of year in Miami, everyone’s favorite thing to do is complain about how busy we are. We talk of that thing called “season” and how we haven’t had a moment’s rest since Art Basel. And it seems February has reached the fever pitch. Within about two weeks time, we’ve had the Miami International Boat Show, Art Wynwood, Social Media Week, and The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. We find ourselves saying ridiculous things like, “OMG, […]

Daily Dose: Studio Paris, Chicago
When it comes to having a good time in Chicago, (aside from posing for funhouse pictures at the Bean at Millennium Park) a trip to Studio Paris, the upstairs nightclub counterpart to trendy restaurant Club Paris, is in order. This is the go-to spot for Chicago’s beautiful party people looking to see and be seen and dance the night away. With billowing white curtains and palm trees, you might feel like you’re in South Beach for a second, but the […]

Daily Dose: XS, Las Vegas
If it’s a massive dance party with headliner DJs that you crave while in Las Vegas, look no further than XS at Steve Wynn’s Encore Resort. With lineups that would make any electronic dance music fan swoon, XS delivers week after week. Take New Year’s Eve weekend, for example–Tiësto, Steve Angello, and Deadmau5, all leading up to a near-five hour set by Avicii New Year’s Eve, and surprise appearances from Skrillex, Afrojack, and Calvin Harris. Stop it right now before I […]
This was the most last minute party planning for New Year’s Eve I’ve done in years. It wasn’t until Saturday afternoon that I confirmed my partners in crime and bought my party tickets. I found my awesome day-glo yellow BCBG dress the morning of and couldn’t figure out dinner reservations in time, so instead opted for a decadent lunch at the Cheesecake Factory at the Aventura Mall (complete with a Veuve split, of course) with my good friend Betsy. I guzzled […]

The Tale Of The Traveling New Year’s Club
It all started on a kibbutz in the Negev Desert at the brink of a New Year. I was a college girl from the University of Georgia exploring the Holy Land on winter break with Birthright Israel. Little did I know that on those long bus rides from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea and Tel Aviv to Tzvat, sitting next to my new friend Lisa, I was sparking a friendship that would stand the test of time for over a […]

Daily Dose: Fontainebleau, Miami Beach
A landmark of Miami Modern architecture on Collins Avenue, the Fontainebleau Resort Miami Beach is a glamourous playground of excess. From the lobby’s iconic Morris Lapidus-designed bow tie tile floors, to the glamorous “stairway to nowhere,” and the golden Ai Weiwei chandeliers seemingly dripping from the heavens, it’s a modern reference to the glitzy bygone era of Miami Beach in the 1950s and ’60s. Fast forward to 2012, and it’s home to LIV, the hottest club in town, which draws a […]
