Peru Hotel Review: Tambo Del Inka, Urabamba Peru

tambo del inka hotel urubamba peruAfter our arrival to the Sacred Valley of Peru, we headed straight to Urubamba to acclimate at the famed Tambo Del Inka hotel. This award winning resort that’s included in the Libertador, Starwoods, and Luxury Collection Hotel portfolios is conveniently located halfway between Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Spending your first night in a luxury hotel when entering this high altitude region is a godsend. This was the perfect place to acclimate, even with our precautionary prescriptions, we were starting to feel heavy and short of breath in the high altitude.

Hi loves! It’s been a go-go-go kind of week and I can’t wait to share all of the amazing launches happening over the next few months. (Stalk my instagram for a sneak peek). This weekend I’m headed to Governors Ball with Dove so there’s no better time to primp up! Although lets be honest, I never need an excuse to get glam.

Fortunately for the next two weekends, Topshop is partnering with Blo Blow Dry Bar, and Melt Bakery to host a Summer Concession Pop-Up at their 5th Avenue location. Come in for hair styling, a nail art bar, frozen treats and sip champagne while you shop! 

This Sunday, Join Dr. Martens + Love Hate Social Club in NYC

For anyone not heading out to Governor’s Ball this weekend and hanging out in NYC, Dr. Martens is doing a cool event this Sunday evening with Love Hate Social Club, the tattoo artists from the reality TV show “NY Ink.”

Yes Way Rose. Inside the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

veuve clicquot rose gardenEasily one of my summer highlights is going to the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. Everyone dresses to the nines in their best 1920’s/Pretty Woman inspired attire and drinks champagne all day — oh and there’s handsome men on horses, led by Argentine polo champion player Nacho Figueras playing polo in the background. It’s a visual fantasy and one I very much look forward to every year.

Whether you’re one for tradition or not, Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of white season. Now the fashion industry and whole ‘winter whites’ rivals this whole theme that began sometime in the late 1800s/early 1900s (no one really knows). The connotation being that white was for leisure, while dark clothing was for working people. The shade would dominate through Labor Day when it was then a faux pas to wear white after. Or so the socialites of that time would have you think — not Coco Chanel, she famously wore white year round. Although we all know she was ahead of her time.
