Vila Monte Farm House is a collection of 51 rooms and suites housed in whitewashed buildings. Hidden between the mountains and the sea, framed by olive, carob and citrus trees. It is a setting that doesn’t disappoint…

Three weeks ago, we returned home from an amazing stay at Las Ventanas al Paraíso, in Los Cabos, Mexico. I had traveled there with my husband and our youngest son for some much needed sun, relaxation, great food and pampering...

When I was growing up, soft focus and airbrushing were the tricks of the trade used by Hollywood studios and magazine editors. Like most adolescents, I faced a great deal of anxiety about my appearance. This insecurity was only exacerbated when I compared myself to the unblemished models gracing the covers of my magazines...

Yellow is not just a color, it’s a statement. When you wear yellow, you are conveying a message of confidence. But like confidence, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. The wrong shade and you can end up looking like a human Sharpie or a caution sign.

"It's not ever the easiest path to be Authentic, and I think it requires a tremendous amount of courage.” This is one of my favorite quotes from Johnson Hartig, the creative force behind Libertine, found in the pages of Melanie Acevedo and Dara Caponigro's latest collaboration: "The Authentics".

It’s pretty clear that I have vacation on the brain. And since we can’t escape to a tropical climate until after the holidays, I’m bringing the beach home to all of us this year. So, for all my fellow “Island Girls” (and the men in their lives), scroll down for a selection of my favorite vacation pieces to get you in the "on holiday” spirit. 

For many, the idea of Paradise involves a plane ticket and a packed suitcase, as we escape from our daily routines hoping to find "paradise" in more exotic locations. As a mother, I’ve had to learn to create my own version of paradise...

I know its not winter yet, but now is the time to start booking travel accommodations for summer. 

I was ten years old the first time I shed tears at the end of a summer vacation. It was late August and my annual trip to my grandparents' home (with my cousins) was, sadly, coming to an end.

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, but I'm calling BS on that. It's always summer somewhere. While you are looking for the perfect plaid blazer or stacked heel boot for fall. 

Nothing says summer like a breezy bohemian dress. Right now, I'm coveting all things Celia Dragouni. Elegant, flowing kaftans and lace dresses inspired by her travels are effortlessly glamorous and easy to pack. 

Between the verdant jungle and a sublime stretch of beach awaits Casa Malca. My husband, along with our two boys, are frequent visitors to the Yucatán.
