Unplugged

I spent this weekend unplugged, well mostly unplugged, and it was wonderful.  I feel like I need more weekends like this to recharge my batteries and preferably outside of the city.  I found the beautiful image above on Pinterest and after a little research found out it's from Locusts-on-Hudson, a fabulous property owned by André Balazs with an equally fabulous history.  It's also a popular location for weddings.  I think I'll call ahead to make sure there aren't any scheduled when I plan to visit so I can have a really quiet weekend to unplug.

Chic in Morocco: Four Seasons Marrakech

After a brief reprieve of warmer temps on Saturday, we're back to feeling the winter chill in New York.  Perfect time to revisit my trip to Morocco and luxurious stay at the Four Season Marrakech.  The hotel had only been open for a few short months when we arrived and we were the very first press to experience its splendor.  It really does remind me of an oasis in the dessert full of palm trees and gorgeous pools. It's about five minutes from the airport and shopping in the souk but you couldn't feel farther away from the madness of Marrakech.  They were having the grand opening celebration a few days after your departure and the Prince of Saudi Arabia had flown in for the festivities.  Almost wanted to become one of wives just so I could stay in this paradise forever. It was that magical. Sigh.
