New York Guide | Traveling with kids
Being, you know, foreigners (well not sure for how much longer, we're set to get our British passports this year) we travel very often, mostly back to sunny Greece to visit our family. We want to of course but also, WE HAVE TOO. Have you ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Well, even though my mom looks nothing like Nia Vardalos' mom in the movie, she nags me. Just. As. Much. Mostly about not seeing them too often. 'Often' has a different definition in her dictionary than min

Cheval Three Quays - Abigail Ahern In Residence
We have all swooned over Abigail Ahern's home for a number of years. Even if you are not a hardcore fan of dark interiors, Ahern has created so many interesting corners around her home that we couldn't help but want to copy her style around ours. From the bookcase wallpapered wall, to the odd-one tall lamps, to the endless texture of carpets and sheepskins. And lets not forget the cacti. Those who have been fortunate enough to attend one of her at-home masterclasses on colour

DESIGN + TRAVEL: KENSHO, Mykonos
I got a nice tip this morning about a brand new hotel in Mykonos, the KENSHO. Mykonos already has its fair share of exquisite boutique hotels and trying to deliver something ground breaking is not easy to achieve. I was told that it had the boutique hotel look and feel with something extra on the design side. Immediately I was curious. LOCATION The hotel is perched over the bay of Ornos in the south side of the island, a short drive from the airport (there are direct flights

DESIGN + TRAVEL: HOTEL BACCARAT
When Hotel Baccarat opened its doors in New York in March 2015, it became the flagship hotel bearing the French crystal maker's brand name with more hotels in development in Doha, Dubai and Rabat. With a 251-year-old history, Baccarat became one more luxury brand that ventured into the world of high end hotel accommodation and even if your taste is, let's say, a little more 'minimal' (I know, I know), this hotel can definitely not leave you indifferent. For starters there's a

DESIGN + TRAVEL: Hotel Bachaumont, Hotel Vernet
I love Paris, don't you ? I love it even when driving back to Calais we got stopped for speeding (it was Easter Sunday, no one was about!) and our car impounded. No seriously, this HAS happened. It's surprising how when you are asked whether you speak French, you answer "a little" but when the guy from the Gendarmerie (who happens to be the Chief or whatever of the local station too) tells you you have to pay an 800 Euro fine, your French comes pouring out in a diarrhoea of e

DESIGN + TRAVEL: CHEVAL BLANC RANDHELI
If you are a ski afficionado, there's no chance you have not heard of Cheval Blanc (White Horse) in Courchevel - the top resort to be seen in during the winter months. So its little sister, Cheval Blanc Randheli is an obvious favourite for the warm months - or, because this is the Maldives we're talking about - all year long. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the creative genius behind some of the world’s most stunning resorts—including the Chedi Muscat in Oman — Randheli marrie

DESIGN + TRAVEL: Sani Resort, Greece
Greece has some of the most amazing places to visit, has a great climate between May to September - not too hot and not too humid - and its beautiful beaches come in a great variety: sandy, rocky, pebbly. The waters: azure or teal, will make you want to return there, over and over again. On the blog today I am featuring Sani Resort located in the north of Greece, on the Kassandra peninsula. It's probably where Alexander the Great used to have his swim if you ask me! I have vi

DESIGN + TRAVEL: Costa Navarino, Greece
It goes without saying that service is what makes some hotels move into the stratosphere of awesomeness, and so staff at Costa Navarino go out of their way to make every guest feel special. The Concierge services will be able to advise on local places to visit and maintains a calendar with all local events such as village fetes which are a must to attend, although it will feel like a different world altogether. But do try it. If you manage to make it all the way to this area

New York visit - The Standard High Line
The creation of super-hotelier Andre Balazs, The Standard, High Line hotel is a glorious glassy high-rise, with witty minimalist interiors, cheekily exhibitionist bathrooms and unbeatable views over the Hudson (especially at sunset). Towering on concrete stilts above its namesake High Line, the hotel benevolently lords it over the West Village – a gentle but impeccably groomed giant. The stark concrete glass and brick exterior floating above the High Line. Roman & Williams, t

DESIGN + TRAVEL: San Giorgio, Mykonos
I am currently staying at the beautiful Elounda (CRETE) and inspired by the amazing rooms of the Elounda Bay Hotel with infinity pools running into the sea, I wanted to introduce you to a few Greek hotels that offer outstanding design and interiors, always in keeping with the surroundings. First on my list and reminiscent of settings we have seen for ZARA homeware lookbooks in the past, is the San Giorgio Mykonos, owned by Thomas Heyne and Mario Hertel and designed by Michael
