Celebrity Life

Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain are some of the finest resorts in the Caribbean — the embodiment of biophilic architecture, working in harmony with the tropical rainforest without compromising on five-star luxury. In fact, Anse Chastanet is one of the first eco-resorts in the world. For founder/owner Nick Troubetzkoy, the resorts are the crown of... View Article

Our Managing Editor's Top Holiday Gift Picks

Les Mains Hermes Nail Polish in Orange Brulé

Hermès has launched its line of nail polish, and we’re absolutely loving the high-pigment, high gloss formula. There are 24 shades in the collection, but our pick is obviously in the brand’s signature orange – orange brulé.

Floral Pendant from the Van Cleef & Arpels Lotus Collection

This dainty floral pendant in Van Cleef & Arpels' Lotus Collection, completely set in shimmering diamonds, has just the right touch of purity and grace, and reminds me of snow-covered nature.

The MB&F x Bvlgari Legacy Machine Flying T'Allegra

Having MB&F and Bvlgari collaborate is a dream come true. Their creation, the Flying T'Allegra, has everything I love about the two brands put together: a radical watch complication and uncompromising style.

Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes from Hourglass Cosmetics

Available for the holiday season, these five-pan Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palettes in Universe and Universe Unlocked include everything you need to create the perfect rosy glow – finishing powder, blusher and highlight.

Tiffany's 2021 Advent Calendar

Is it art or is it jewellery? Am I too greedy if I put this Tiffany & Co Advent calendar, which features a Basquiat print on the front, on my wishlist?

Biscuit Candle from Diptyque

It smells like Christmas. Diptyque’s wonderfully comforting scent, Biscuit, will have your entire room smelling like freshly baked seasonal pastries.

A Coco Crush Bracelet from Chanel

Chanel is totally crushing it with the Coco Crush Collection. I love this slim bracelet version in silver, with just a sprinkling of diamonds.

With a restaurant empire that has amassed 21 Michelin stars, Alain Ducasse requires very little in the way of introductions. The newest addition to the French-born chef’s repertoire is Osteria BBR at the storied Raffles Singapore.  Though it opened in August 2021, Osteria BBR is actually more of a reincarnation of Ducasse’s previous Raffles eatery,...

Our Editorial Director's Top Holiday Gift Picks

Crockery from the Seletti Hybrid Collection

I’d love to entertain guests this season by serving up a feast with colourful eclectic Seletti Hybrid crockery. This alone should be enough to get tongues wagging at the dining table.

Artwork from Sonic Editions, at Lane Crawford

Giving and receiving artwork tends to be much more personal and intimate. I’d love to hang up this framed and numbered David Bowie print from Sonic Editions, at Lane Crawford.

Crop Top and Joggers from Fendi x SKIMS

Ok, I’ll admit I was a little sceptical when this collab was announced, but I’ve really come around to like some of the range. Activate your wardrobe with these vivid logo Fendi x SKIMS sporty crop top and joggers.

PJs from Marie France Van Damme

Get cosy and slip into something more comfortable with silky Marie France Van Damme PJs, my personal favourite being the monochrome palm print versions — lounge-y but also rather louche and glamorous.

Pont 9 Soft MM Handbag in Sienne Doree from Louis Vuitton

Gently does it with this Louis Vuitton Soft MM handbag in buttery brown leather (sienne doree). Supple leathers for winter are a dream and this model is super versatile.

Gold 1837 Makers Signet Ring from Tiffany & Co

Christmas can be a hard time for someone who usually eschews feminine jewellery. So I’d rather lend some sparkle with a piece that’s ultra-modern, such as this gold Tiffany & Co 1837 Makers signet ring.

Essex Pointed Ankle-boots from Balenciaga

I love a sleek little heel, and these black Balenciaga buckle boots are totally giving me lady boss vibes — a perfectly sophisticated winter shoe.

With a speakeasy bar, cinema. wine cellar and spa, Auriens, located just off London’s irresistibly fashionable King’s Road, sounds more like a glamourous resort than a retirement home.  The prestigious over 65s development opened in September with a mission to redefine what it means to age gracefully, and as Auriens’ general manager, Rupert Spurgeon, says,...

In Big Sur, a 90-mile sweep of cliff-edged terrain, California’s Highway 1 corkscrews along dramatic bluffs more like a portal to an otherworldly place than a famous journey for road trippers. Ever sheathed in diaphanous fog, the route exudes a mood of mystical possibilities. As its bluffs careen in a free fall to the churning... View Article

Dramatic, dreamy and oh-so-deluxe, Positano is the Amalfi Coast’s front-cover star. Seductive and beautiful, vast cloud-capped mountains plunge into the sparkling sea in heartstring-pulling panoramas flecked by sheer-drop crags, colorful houses and verdant woodlands. No less Instagram worthy are its steep streets and steps, flanked by wisteria- and bougainvillea-draped hotels, decadent restaurants and the most... View Article
