Besos Barcelona
posted on: Thursday, October 5, 2017
The rumours are true. Barcelona is the most romantic city in the world with the best food! It was a first for me and Jill and we absolutely loved it. 3 nights was perfection.
We were so happy with our hotel choice. I highly recommend the Grand Hotel Central. The property was in an incredible location walking distance to everything, and very affordable. Not to mention the rooftop overlooks spectacular views of the city as seen in the last photo that was taken at sunrise.
We rented electrical Bikes to cruise around the city to see the cathedral, gothic quarter, and the most famous las Rambas shortly after we made a pit stop into the market for some fresh fruits. If you followed my Instagram stories at the time , you will see that snap chatting and bike riding is not a good combination. The bigger bike fall of all time. Ended up with a brush the size of a tennis ball for a few weeks, but non the less I was ok!
Teleferic - THE BEST TAPAS - Situated in El Born by the gothic quarter. Fresh tapas selections and the mot incredible Gin Sangria! I don't like Gin but this drink is to die for!
Dr. Stravinsky - This little hidden gem is a perfect place to go for the best mixology experience. Definitely a little Hidden Gem.
Sagrada Familia - This monumental unfinished church is set to be finished in 2024. Words can't describe how beautiful and eccentric this building is. Do not miss out on this.
Soho House Rooftop- little afternoon snack and have some downtime, The Soho house is the greatest chill spot. If you have a membership and or know someone with a soho house membership this club is a must go to. The rooftop overlooks the water and marina. They have endless amounts of candy and the Iberian ham was my favourite appetizer. dish ;)
BARCELONA I LOVE YOU!
Who knew I would end up back in the city just a month later ... I will dedicate another post to that trip so stay tuned!

After the most epic weekend in the Hamptons with Revolve I headed straight to Spain to the biggest Party island in the world, Ibiza.
This was my third time to this magical island, Although I got to experience it a completely different way this time around.
I Spent about 3 days of the week at a friends Villa then moved to the Nobu Ibiza Bay Hotel. The Hotel was so beautiful, the rooms were extremely well decorated and big , not to mention in the most perfect location.
There was a few cons however. Over priced, the staff wasn't the most helpful especially on the marketing and reservations side.
One of the most memorable days was spent on our friends yacht boating to Formentera. Which was a short 40 min ride. We anchored up and headed to lunch at the beach for some seafood paella.
Here is a list of a few of my favourite spots and the must see must do :
Passion Cafe - The most EPIC organic lunch spot in central Playa den Bossa. ( I could eat here everyday ) They are most known for there juices and smoothies. They offer vegetarian, Vegan , macrobiotic bowls, but also fish and poultry. Very good place to cure a hangover ;) MUST GO
Fish Shack - If you want to watch the most amazing sunset while having some local beer and Fresh Fish, this is a great local secret spot.
Cipriani - High end Italian Cuisine. If you want to break the bank a little for an authentic Italian Dinner, then this is the place!
Lio- The most entertaining cabaret dinner spot right on the marina in front of the super yachts. Great for a big group dinner. Not going to lie it kinda feels like you are at a super fun wedding!
Minami- Japanese Restaurant in Ushuaia Hotel - Very good, but again over priced!
Nightclubs- Ushuaia, Hi Ibiza, Amnesia, Pacha, DC 10, The Cave
Juan Y Andrea- Fine cuisine located in the heart of formentera right on blue bay, with amazing views of the Mediterranean sea.
We Unfortunately didn't make it to the old town this time around but you must go and walk around, the best time is after 3pm when its not too hot!
Hope you guys can get to visit this magical place at some point. Highly recommended to visit in July and August

The kick off to Summer 17 couldn't have been any better. Last Thursday I headed to the big apple with my bestie Jill and the Revolve fam! After a long red eye flight we checked into the Knickerbocker hotel right in the heart of times square! Highly recommended hotel , insanely cute and trendy! We headed out for the night for the FWRD Man event where we danced the night away to endless amounts of throwback and even Cameron preformed!
The next morning we departed for the Hamptons , man the traffic in NYC is insane. We did however make a necessary pit stop at shake shack though - which held us back a bit.
After a long 6 hours we ended up in Bridgehampton . The Two houses were absolutely incredible they were enormous and brand new not to mention every corner was an instagram photo opp!
The team welcomed us to an incredible dinner cooked by the amazing chef that they hired for the weekend featuring The L'Acadime Brand. Shortly after dinner we changed into our Pjs and gathered into the family room for a very professional organized game night that consisted of Sculptionary, charades and Family Fued. I was definitely on the loosing teams each time ! lol
We woke up bright and early Saturday morning for a session of yoga on the tennis court featuring Adidas x Stella Mcartney. We definitely did alot of shooting in between. form about 1-4 the team set up the cutest lunch outside where we shopped some really cute brands !
We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and shooting photos by the pool. We were going to head into town, but because we had such a big night ahead we just ordered in !
The revolve club was set up so perfectly inside the the basement of the house and hosted by One Oak! All of the babes were dressed up in H.ours and we danced the night away with endless amounts of tequila. oh and the best party of the night was when we jumped into the pool in all of our clothing!
Sunday was not easy for me. the hangover was definitely real! We headed to Montauk for a beach day in Lovers + Friends.
Thank you so much Revolve for an epic weekend that I will never forget !

Farfetch Summer Soiree
posted on: Monday, July 10, 2017
The Rosy Oyster
Wow where has the year gone? July has come a heck of a lot sooner than expected!
What greater way to bring in the summer season than exploring beautiful Los Angeles with Farfetch. For those of you who don't know Farfetch is an amazing online luxury retailer you must absolutely check out!
We started the day off right ... Shopping ! Loit is a brand new clothing boutique that just opened up Downtown LA filled with designers pieces to die for ! I snagged these amazing Isabel Marant platform sandals that I will be rocking all summer long in Europe!
Second stop of the day was The Rosy oyster at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. a cute little restaurant tucked away at the back of the hotel near the pool area. I was taken back at how Instagram worthy this place was! we snapped a bunch of photos while snacking on the freshest seafood you could ever taste, and oh ! not to mention we got our ears pierced . Extremely terrified , but was supper happy how it turned out !
Following the hotel we visited the Marciano Art Foundation for a private viewing of the gallery. For those of you who are into Art, there some impeccable of one - of -a -kind pieces that are just extremely captivating to the eye.
Last but not leas we finished the night off at the one and only Mama Shelter Hotel. What an amazing evening spent with some of my best blogger friends. Epic sunsets, live music, delicious foods and laughter throughout!
Thank you Farfetch for a one of a kind day !
