BEAUTY ON THE GO!
The sun is out, which means winter hibernation is almost over. It’s that time of year where we start focusing on travel, and less about fashion week. And as much as I love the ability to travel the world and see historical gems, I hate that I’m not close enough to home for my bare…

BEAUTY HOTSPOT| SPA@THETHIRDSPACE
There’s no better way to relax than at a spa, but finding one while you’re away from home can be more difficult than one would like to admit. Last season during London Fashion Week, I was fortunate to come across a beauty hotspot called spa@thethirdspace. Apart of the Marylebone Hotel, spa@thethirdspace is a tranquil environment…

RESTAURANT HOTSPOT| 108 MARYLEBONE LANE
Last season was my first time doing London Fashion Week, and my first time returning since I was roughly 7. Navigating the city isn’t the same, shopping is very much different, and shuttling from one village to another with only a map, felt like finding a needle in a haystack. But my half-day break at…

A great way to really get to know a city is by visiting their museums. Known to house historical pieces of culture, it’s a great way to understand your surroundings, one’s way of life and sometimes personal traits.

PLACES TO SHOP IN LISBON
When traveling you can’t help but shop. I haven’t met one person who doesn’t come back with a few knickknacks to add to their home décor. When I travel, I prefer to shop for others – like a ball in a cup for my sister, or Portuguese olive oil for my mum, or a kitchen…

WHERE TO EAT IN LISBON
This week is all about Lisbon, Portugal. The capital of the water coasted country, Lisbon, by far, was my favorite place on my tour of Europe. Waters so crisp and blue. People so humble. And a city filled with so much culture and color, every shot is photographic. But, let’s focus on what important…

RESTAURANT HOTSPOTS IN LUXEMBOURG
It’s time to take you to warmer place in time, where the sun was kissing your skin and short sleeve maxi dresses were a closest staple – summer. New York has been deathly cold and there’s no other place I’d rather be than walking past the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg enjoying a tasty cone.…
