Travel Outfit Essential
Dressing for air travel is always a challenge because you want to dress comfortably, but don’t want to look frumpy. Sweater leggings are part of my go-to travel outfit this year because they’re comfy and cozy during the flight, and they’re a whole lot cuter than my old pair of sweatpants! Pair them with a [...]

Digital Luggage Scale: The Perfect Travel Companion + Gift
My nickname is “worst packer ever!” So with all the new regulations and luggage weights, I needed help-fast. The world’s smallest portable digital luggage scale by Heys is a great invention and rescued me from further embarrassment at the airline counter. A mere 5″ x 4.5″ x 1.5″, its unique T-bar designs fits the natural [...]

The service is beyond reproach and the concierge staff is spot-on everytime. Welcome home! -The Brunette Recommend on Facebook Tweet [...]

My personal favorite is the Bulgari Hotel‘s outdoor garden for late night drinks. For lunch, try Cracco Peck for gourmet cuisine and no reservations. [...]
Day Break In Milan
Fashion Week in Milan is demanding, but the icing on the Milano cake was definitely the CultiSpa. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen or experienced a more complete array of services to pamper yourself or that special someone in your life – perhaps the most luxurious his and hers day spa I’ve encountered. With everything [...]
Staying in Milan?
If you’re in Milan for fashion or business, you need a good night’s sleep, right? Ranked #1 by Trip Advisor (out of hundreds of hotels in the city), the Park Hyatt is an absolutely stunning property in the heart of the city. Best of all it’s right next to the Piazza Duomo and galleria Vittorio [...]
