Micro hotels are the latest offering in the “small house, big living” world and they are a minimalist’s dream. I recently stayed in Hotel Hive, DC’s first micro hotel, with my sister, Chelsea, and best friend, Dorothy, and we loved the charm of this spot. There’s been a lot of change in the hotel world over the past few years with Airbnb and Glamping Hub popping up and major resorts and hotel chains competing to keep millennials booking with them. …
The new Bumble ad “Be the CEO your parents always wanted you to marry” has been widely published and it’s a mantra for so many women today that are more focused on building a career now and a family later (or never). But when Valentine’s Day comes around, it seems that powerful motto is forgotten and women are focused on the $50 bouquet of roses they’re not getting. I’m here to tell you, become the CEO and buy yourself the…
When I was first approached to try out the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport I already knew this was going to be a really fun collaboration. The holidays made it the perfect time of year to travel and visit family, plus my two-door car doesn’t have much space for holiday shopping. What I didn’t know, was just how stylish this car really was until it was delivered. I’m not a car salesman. I couldn’t tell you the difference between powertrain technology…
With winter officially beginning this week, it’s time to make coats a part of our daily wardrobe. So what’s the biggest trend this season in outerwear? The teddy bear coat. Pinterest reports what’s trending by tracking their highest saved pins, and this cozy coat was it. Welcome to the season of the bear! Faux fur is no stranger to being on this list but brands changed it up with this plush and fluffy variation from the norm. There are oversized…
Every outfit needs a little something “extra” and this season’s updated fringe is just that. This attention-seeking accent is a trend that has been seen on dresses, pants and accessories every few seasons. After the fringe fancy when “The Great Gatsby” was re-released in 2013 and everyone wanted to be a flapper, the trend died down for a little before making a comeback this season. Fringe was swinging from the runways on skirts, dresses and it even had a denim…
Fall is my favorite season of the year. Boots and bonfires. Layering and leaves. I’m all in. The only thing I would pass on, is feeling cold. Wouldn’t it be great if we could be as cozy as we are in our bathrobes while still rocking a chic look? Well, thanks to the latest runway trend, we can! The newly imagined robe coat gives you comfort without sacrificing style. This Lavish Alice coat is linked below and it’s totally appropriate…
In the 1950s, Bing Crosby walked into an upscale hotel in Vancouver, Canada. Despite being, well, Bing Crosby, the hotel team almost denied him entry because he had been wearing an all-denim outfit. Levis heard about what happened and sent him a tailored, all-denim tuxedo. Crosby may have dreamed of a White Christmas, but I doubt even he could have dreamed of how his “Canadian tux” would impact fashion even half a century later. Denim-on-denim has become increasingly…
“You can tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building one another up instead of tearing each other down.” -Unknown A couple of months ago, we joined a campaign meant to bring together influencers of two different demographics, millennials and the fierce 50 women. The campaign is called “Bridging the Gap” and the inspiration behind it was that we are stronger together and age gap lines can be blurred by building authentic bonds…
Rules are meant to be broken and that holds especially true for some previously taboo fashion rules. Things like “No White After Labor Day”, pattern mixing, and even color combos like blue and black or pink and red that were once fashion nos are now trending for Spring 2018. Red and pink are two power colors for both females and males. It does take a little bit of a daring personality to break rules of any kind but especially…
Sometimes you just need a little staycation to rediscover some of the great things your city has to offer. Chelsea and I did just that and packed our bags for an overnight at the AC Hotel by Marriott in the National Harbor. We hung out with some really fun local influencers and found out just what it means to live the #HarborLife. Let me start by saying I’m no stranger to Marriott. Platinum Elite Rewards Member, stayed…
