Summer Dreamin’

He’s at it again. Old Man Winter has been wreaking havoc around our Boston office. So, while sloshing through slush on the morning commute to work, it’s hard not to daydream about white-sand beaches and piña coladas. One hotel that boasts both of these things—plus an infinity pool and an ocean-view restaurant—is the Bacolet Beach Club on the island of Tobago. Oh, and did we mention it’s owned by former fashion model Gloria Jones-Knapp? Très chic, indeed. If you can’t make it to Tobago, we think the best way to survive the winter is by splurging on a few summertime accessories (and cranking that heat waaay up).

Shop Internationally with L-atitude

One of the things we love most about traveling is being able to pick up treasures we can’t find at home. A stay at Magic Blue Boutique Hotel in Playa del Carmen, for example, puts visitors steps from stalls touting Mexican handicrafts, colorful textiles and one-of-a-kind jewels. Well, thanks to L-atitude—a site that sells chic clothing, jewelry and home décor from countries around the world—you won’t need a passport to don international duds. Here a few of L-atitude’s made-in-Mexico pieces we’ve got our eyes on:

Get Handy with Touch Tech Gloves

December 10, 2012 / / Comments Off

Whether you live in the Northeast like us or make it a point to skate a perfect figure 8 at Rockefeller Center every holiday season (may we suggest staying at Ink48, a Kimpton Hotel, if it’s the latter?) it’s hard to survive the winter without a decent pair of gloves. It’s also hard to navigate a city without a trusty touchscreen device. Luckily, tech gloves make it easy to bundle up while mapping out directions to, say, that one bar that serves a rocky road ice cream-flavored cocktail (we’re looking at you, Death & Company).

Here are a few of our favorite tech gloves:

Passport to Paradise

Us girls (and guys) at Snique are big fans of international escapes (Valentin Imperial Maya in Playa del Carmen is our most recent bucket-list addition), but we can all agree there’s nothing worse than schlepping your bags through the seemingly-endless security line at the airport only to realize your ticket, passport and—let’s face it—composure are lost in the infinite depths of your carry-on.

Enter: Rebecca Minkoff. Her chic and playful passport wallets are the perfect solution for the girl-on-the-go. Get ready for a smooth liftoff.
