Take Me Away - By Train


My obsession with Downton Abbey and their opulent way of life has inspired me to research travel through Europe. While my husband and I have visited a few of the big cities I do hope to return soon and explore more of the countryside and smaller cities and what better way to do that then via luxury train ride with private cars quipped with all the amenities that even the Dowager Countess would surely approve of. When I stumbled upon the Venice Simplon Orient Express I was instantly intrigued by the glamorous form of travel and it's old fashioned sensibilities. Passengers are literally treated like royalty during their journey and get to travel in the lap of luxury between two continental destinations. I personally would love to do the London-Venice route which has you traveling in two grand locomotives all while  passing through incredible scenery including the Swiss Alps and the Italian Dolomites. However any of these luxury train clubs would surely fit the bill for a truly memorable experience with your special someone. Just take a look at the beautiful interiors below and tell me you don't want to get "all aboard" abroad!










Since this train travel requires some formal attire to keep up with the elegant experience. A stunning evening gown for the lady and handsome tux for the fellow cannot be forgotten to be packed.  If money is no object some of the travel accessories below most definitely can contribute to your luxe journey.

style & real estate - nautical chic edition

There are so many differently lifestyles that embody glamour & luxury. One I am constantly fascinated with is  the life at sea. While I would likely be green in the face and my head hung over the bow with motion sickness 99% of the time, I imagine anyone else who has a stronger stomach then myself would surely be living the sweet life. Even some of my favorite movies have taken place on boats (Overboard & Captain Ron come to mind). Being on the water is so relaxing and when your ride is a mega-yacht with killer interiors like this one designed by super stylish interior designer Kirsten Kelli then you know you have arrived in style. Imagine waking up in different fabulous ports each day. I imagine my dream itinerary to be - St. Barth for the winter, Cannes & Marbella for the June/July and Sag Harbor & Newport for the remainder of the Summer. Ahhhh the life of the rich & famous!

I just adore that real furniture was used in this home at sea, really gives it a homey ambiance. Don't get me started on that gorgeous wood ceiling, the shape & finish makes me weak in the knees.


Those giant oval windows are ridiculous gorgeous.


hellooo party with my friends & family!


Carrera marble heaven


Seriously - a sunburst chandelier - I CANNOT handle this perfection.


rooftop Jacuzzi - why not???


the ultimate family room decked out with nautical perfection - I spy Hermes too!


OK, finally a flaw! I would lose that bed frame & those hideous neon lights. Replace carpet with wood & voila - a master bedroom perfect for the captain of ship.
