The new man at Balmain
Almost as quickly as Olivier Rousteing announced his exit from Balmain, the brand announced Antonin Tron as his successor. I have no idea how they were able to keep the rumor mill at bay on this one, but good job to the brand for being able to announce both bits of news on its own…

Black Friday? Already?
Years ago, the phrase “Black Friday” sent shivers down some shoppers’ spines, as they remembered the stampede of 2008. Then slowly, the day began to extend into Thanksgiving, then the whole week, and now it seems the entire month. Black Friday is no longer so much of a day as it is a feeling I…

My truth about solo travel
Last year when I stayed at the Villa Copenhagen, I made sure to visit the gym to do a well-rounded review. I was set to take pictures of the layout, but there was a problem.
