travel like a celebrity

Everyone likes to feel glamorous, but on an airplane ride, you might not feel like your absolute best. Wouldn’t it be nice to travel like a celebrity?  Famous musicians and actors always seem to look stunning no matter where they are, but what do celebrities wear when they go on a trip on a plane?  Here’s a hint: they keep it simple and comfortable.  Sitting on an airplane on a trans-Atlantic flight won’t always be the most comfortable, even in first class, but you’ll feel more refreshed and stylish if you choose comfortable clothes and essential skincare products to help you through the trip and don’t forget your oversized sunglasses.

When traveling to one of the most dynamic and fast paced cities in the world like New York City, I’m sure guests would appreciate staying in a hotel that feels like a home rather than a hotel.  Tim and Kit Kemp, founders of Firmdale Hotels are known for their layered and cozy atmosphere they bring to their hotels.  The Whitby Hotel located in the heart of Upper Midtown Manhattan, is the couple’s second Hotel in New York City, after The Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo.  The 86 bedrooms and suites were designed by Firmdale Hotel’s design director Kit Kemp in her characteristic English style.  Each room in The Whitby Hotel has its own color scheme, floor to ceiling windows, a great feature in any New York City space where light seems to be missing in Winter.  Bathrooms are in either marble or granite with a free standing bath tub.  I’ve seen a few pictures of the hotel bar and restaurant with its rich saturated upholstery and high ceilings.  Definitely, The Whitby Hotel a place to go and feel cozy in.

If you are a regular at Instagram then without a doubt you’ve seen the Pink monochromatic restaurant, The Gallery at Sketch, designed by India Mahdavi with artwork from British artist Turner Prize nominee David Shrigley.  Shrigley’s recognizable drawings are also present in Sketch’s original ceramic tableware which can be purchased via the restaurant’s website.  The Restaurant which also functions as a gallery, hence its name, has velvet pink banquets and Mahdavi’s emblematic curvaceous chairs that seem to float over chevron multi-colored tiles.  Reminiscent of the all-time Hollywood glam era, the pink room is accentuated with touches of rose gold throughout.  The mixture of the artwork and the exquisite design makes it a perfect place for Art and Design enthusiasts.
