    DE MAMIEL: BOTANIQUES

    Philosophy of the ancient world. Chinese medicine. Distilled with intent and stored gently in energetically positive environments. There is so much more to the skincare line from Annee de Mamiel than moisturizers and toners.

We’ve all seen the glossy magazine covers and spreads with luscious, whimsical tableaus filled with shockingly beautiful models who seemingly live a charmed and perfectly lit life. Though we secretly hope it will happen to us one day, we know reality rarely comes so saturated and bronzed. So, who is the mastermind behind all these candy colored works of art?

    NEW YORK PALACE HOTEL

    It may be home to the most glamorous scenes from the Gossip Girl but it’s no secret that The Lotte New York Palace Hotel holds a specials place in heart of New York City’s history. The provenance of this remarkable venue began over a century ago when Henry Villard, one of the nation’s most prominent financiers, commissioned McKim, Mead & White to create a spectacular residence, constructed in 1882. Throughout the next century the residence changed from private homes to offices for the Archdiocese and later, corporate offices for internationally known companies. It wasn’t until the ’70s, when the Archdiocese…

    It’s Not A Mirage, It’s The Maldives Have you ever dreamed of racing a pod of dolphins in your personal sailboat somewhere off in the Indian Ocean? Maybe after a few competitive rounds you shimmy into your diving suit and with a deft roll off of the boat’s hull you splash into the blue waters that are the perfect shade of heaven, the air bubbles fizz and rise up around you like you just jumped into a glass of champagne as you swim lower into the sea in search of the legendary botanical gardens of the undersea variety.
