Woody Allen's 'Midnight in Paris'
I don't know how I missed this, but Woody Allen has a new movie out! 'Midnight in Paris' is currently only playing in New York and Los Angeles, and as with any Woody Allen movie, will be a must see. Even this weekend I was channelling Annie Hall in my new Celine sunglasses. I'm buying tickets tonight!

La Vie Grand Marnier
My favorite ad of the moment is this one by Grand Marnier. Makes me feel like I'm at a French cocktail party!
Haute Hotels
I've always been intrigued by hotels. And why not? They're basically mini homes-away-from-home you get to call your own for a week. The linens, the restaurants, the bars, and the people you meet are all different and equally exciting in every stay. It seems some of the biggest names in fashion design agree- and they're making their mark in the chicest of cities around the globe.
Donatella Versace
This waterfront hotel includes 200 decked out bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and Donatella's opulent decor. Everything on the grounds is strictly Versace, from the furnishings to the china used in the hotel’s four restaurants.
Tortuga Bay at Puntacana Resort & Club, Dominican Republic
Oscar de la Renta
The Dominican Republic native renovated 13 villas set on 16,600 private beachfront acres. The property has a Six Senses spa and two golf courses. I do believe this is true luxury living!
Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Montego Bay, Jamaica
Ralph Lauren
All 36 rooms are a haven of true Ralph Lauren beach living including white stone floors, romantic mahogany four-poster beds and plush furnishings set on an 18th-century plantation house that has since been converted into a spa (yes please!).
Uxua Casa Hotel, Trancoso, Brazil
Wilbert Das (Diesel)
Nestled in a quaint fishing village, the hotel was constructed from organic and recycled materials. Six of the nine casas (each with their own kitchen) are new buildings secluded in a garden, while the other three are restored fishermen’s houses near the town square.
Armani Hotel, Dubai
Giorgio Armani
Housed in Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Armani’s sleek hotel debut (another is coming to Milan soon) has 160 rooms and suites with bespoke furnishings by Armani Casa, as well as eight restaurants and a 12,000 sqf spa.
Maison Moschino, Milan
Rossella Jardini
The Italian fashion house goes for theatrical effect in a renovated 1840s railway station. The 65 rooms are all complete with dramatic storybook details, from beds draped in bloodred ball gowns to chandeliers dripping with rose petals. There's something horrendously chic about this room.
Hotel le Bellechasse, Paris
Christian Lacroix
A whimsical boutique hotel in Faubourg St. Germain was inspired by the culture of its Left Bank neighborhood resulting in a flamboyant, bohemian spirit in all 34 rooms. It’s also located steps away from Paris's best museums, including the Musée d’Orsay.
Hotel Missoni, Edinburgh
Rosita Missoni
The trademark graphic patterns of the Missoni brand dominate the interiors of the 136 room hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Rosita Missoni acts as the hotel’s creative director.

Object of Desire: Grey Cashmere
Barneys has quickly become my one-stop-shop for all things covetable and their co-op line is filling my closet more quickly than my bank account can probably handle. I've been drawn to comfy, laid back styles since moving to L.A. (I can't remember the last time I wore heels!) and this cashmere number is right up my alley. Perfect for summer nights on the beach and weekend brunches. Shop it here.

Object of Desire: iomoi Leather Tote
iomoi is a very small, but very cute company that prior to just recently, only sold stationary. They now have home and fashion accessories, as well. I love this classic tote that can be monogrammed and comes in 5 colors. Shop here.
Ready for Summer
My skin is sun-kissed from the past couple of weekend's amazing 80 degree weather and laying out by the pool. It's finally starting to feel like spring here in L.A. and I'm loving every minute of it! Before I moved here, one of my favorite parts of a New York City summer was the plethora of ice cream trucks that swarm the streets, and there were never a shortage of lime popsicles (specifically the Van Leeuwen truck that parked outside of The Standard Biergarten).
So, I suppose making your own is the next best thing. These pop-makers from Zoku are adorable, and freeze in as little as 7-10 minutes. Whether it's a refreshment from the hot sun or a hangover from those dark and stormies, these will surely do the trick. Purchase at Williams-Sonoma here.
