The Bomb Hotel: Hotel Granduca in Houston Wearing Shop Akira’s Shake it Baby Tassel Dress and Sammy B Designs Nicki Sequin Pants
So I travel a lot! And since I travel all the time, I like to relish in life’s small luxuries. Staying at Bomb Hotels (4 or 5 stars) is one of them.

The hotel, located 14 minutes away from the Galleria mall, has an…

Claire’s Life: My Staycation at the Waldorf Astoria in New York
Happy Friday!!! So I got my birthday wish: a day of luxuriating at the Waldorf Astoria! Kings, Queens, royalty, and movie stars have stayed at the Waldorf, so I felt it only fitting to stay there on my special day! I held court in a ginormous room in the Towers, equipped with a kitchen, living room, dining room, dressing room, and bedroom. It was BOMB! After getting settled in, I headed to the Guerlain spa for a relaxing massage. I…
So as I mentioned here, I was invited to Paris by the Ministry of Tourism to see the trade shows aka Promosalons. I was beyond juiced to stay at Le Meurice, a swanky hotel located in the middle of all the action in Paris on Rue de Rivoli (exact address: 228 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France). Le Meurice epitomizes luxury. I mean, take a look at this hotel! Yasss, I was having a Sex and the City moment! A…
So I obviously want this blog to be about more than just my style! I travel quite frequently, and stay in various hot hotels. During my recent trip to Atlanta, I kicked it at the Twelve Hotel at Atlantic Station, and fell in love. The hotel/residence has absolutely stunning luxury rooms, equipped with a view of the city, a king sized bed, a full kitchen, living room, and large bathroom. Aside from generally reasonable prices (a deluxe room like the…
