Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: Getting there
This is the start on my series on my experience at the Nobu Hotel in Atlanta. Let’s start with even getting there. You of course have multiple options, depending on how you decide to get to the city. If you are coming from the airport, this location is roughly 30 minutes aware by car. If…

Dior is celebrating Gris Dior in LA, so I decided to test the fragrance myself
Dior is making a big push for Gris Dior lately. The brand will be hosting their Enter the Grey Zone experience in LA April 13-16. I will not be in LA, so I have just been wearing the fragrance over the last few days, instead. (It is not the same thing at all. I want…

Deinfluencing, or brands’ shift from influencer marketing
The term I learned today? Deinfluencing. It refers to a backlash against influencer marketing. People have grown tired of viral products, sponsored posts, and disengenous product recommendations. Luxury brands are now pivoting away from their current influencer strategy towards something that connects better. When the so-called influencer came about, or was sought after by marketing…

This was my experience booking through Master Card Travel
I decided to book my stay at the Knickerbocker Hotel using the MasterCard site. If you are not aware, if your credit card is part of the Master Card World Elite program, you have access to use their site to book travel and other experiences. The reason I chose to book through the program rather…

Knickerbocker Hotel Review: Dining
The dining options at the Knickerbocker hotel include Charlie’s, Jakes, and in-room dining. The only meals I had at Charlie’s were the daily breakfasts. The first day we got there close to 10 AM. The eggs were cold and disappointing. The croissant was so-so. The second day, I only got yogurt, to avoid the disappointment.…

The Knickerbocker Hotel Review: Service and gym (and an emergency)
I’m reviewing my stay at The Knickerbocker Hotel. Let’s talk about the services. The staff sent text messages to check, which I ignored, because I didn’t think anything of it. Then they called the room. It was jarring. I didn’t need anything. If nothing else, they were very serious about checking in and making sure…

The Knickerbocker Hotel Review: The room
The Knickerbocker Hotel is located in Times Square, great if you want to be in the center of the action. Stepping off the busy street, barely dodging lost tourists and photo takers, the lobby was a reprieve. It looked the part of a luxury hotel. (Of course, I have no photo of it.) We walked…

(Very) quick thoughts on quiet luxury trend
Sources are claiming that there is a return of “quiet luxury.” After seasons of logomania, brands are switching gears and taking a much more subtle approach. Instead of an obvious logo, you’ll see signature colors and designs. The logos that do appear are less obvious, more artistic, and kind of “if you know, you know,”…

Today on things I discovered: Gucci Golf Balls
Don’t ask why I was scrolling through the Gucci site, just know that I was on there. I noticed they had a sporting goods section. And I found out you can get a golf ball carrier that holds 4 golf balls. It is not entirely clear to me if it just has space to hold…

With Fall/Winter 23, Bottega Veneta asks, “What is chic?”
I am late to the party on this, but I finally saw the Bottega W 23 show. Often designers end their fashion show with a final look intentionally chosen to be the show stopper. I mean because it literally is the signal that the show is over. It is a work of art. At the end…
