On Our Radar: Kimpton on Jetsetter

Kimpton is featured on Jetsetter.com this week with great deals on its hotels in New York, D.C., and Miami. The rates start at only $110 per night at some of the hotels and would be a perfect fit for your New Year's Eve plans, a quick getaway with your honey, or (in our case) our annual girls' night out with our childhood friends.
Eventi Hotel

The Eventi in NY which opened this year has views of the Empire State Building from its floor to ceiling windows. A visit here has been on our to-do list for months.
Hotel Palomar DC

The Hotel Palomar D.C. is a favorite of ours and we've stayed here a few times. Located near Dupont circle, there's plenty to do close by; but you might be just as happy staying at the hotel and eating at their tasty Urbana Restaurant. All Kimptons are pet friendly, so this is on Anne's list when she's comes to DC.

Epic Hotel

We've thought about staying in Downtown Miami on our next trip. The Epic Hotel has water views, the Exhale Spa, and the Area 31 seafood restaurant. SoBe isn't far away either if your itching for nightlife.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Best-Selling Gift at Saks

globe ornament

Yesterday, we attended a blogger breakfast at Sak's for a peek at the season's best-selling gifts so far. It warmed out jetsetting heart to hear that the Eliot Raffit Vintage Globe ornament is a top seller, thanks to its appearance in December's Travel & Leisure.


We were also thrilled to meet Rebecca Minkoff in person who says her laptop, iPad, iPhone and Kindle cases are always top sellers as are this trio of pouches. (Rebecca agreed to let us peek in her carry on bag, so expect to see that in the next few weeks!)

The other item we loved is the Fur Funnel Glamour Puss collar. It comes in lots of bright day glo collar to brighten up winter's doldrums. Sadly, it's not offered on the Saks website, but you will find them at the NYC 5th Avenue store!



These little Valentino bags are even cuter in person. They'll fit a phone, keys, lipgloss and credit cards for a night out.

Jesus Luz in Page 6 Magazine


Ladies, the only thought we've ever had about Jesus Luz is that he made nice arm candy for Madonna. Well, the most famous Brazilian male model/DJ/celebrity ex gave an interview to Page 6 magazine, a supplement to tomorrow's New York Post, so we'll all get to know him a little bit better. But with quotes like, “Food, friends, music...and good sex” make him happy, we don't think his arm candy image is in danger.

Nanette Lepore Swimwear

Nanette Lepore Swimwear 'Honeysuckle' One-Piece Swimsuit by Nanette Lepore 2011 | The Orchid Boutique
One of our fave girlie girl designers, Nanette Lepore, launched a line of swimwear, which is now hitting stores. Nanette says she was inspired by South Beach where she travels twice a year (She's a fan of the Raleigh.), so not surprisingly the looks are right up our alley with flirty bikinis and retro one pieces.

Available on The Orchid Boutique.

Victoria Secret and Mentos

Here's something we didn't see coming: a collaboration between Victoria's Secret and Mentos gum at last night's 2010 Victoria Secret Fashion Show on CBS. Heloise Guerin wore this design by Todd Thomas made from Mentos gum and vintage wrappers for the PINK Planet section. We'd still prefer the diamond studded brassiere; but this one would be fun to take off with your SO!
