One thing I’m sure you’ve learned about me by now is that I looveee a luxury hotel. I’ve traveled all over the world and have stayed in A LOT of hotels, so I find it hard for a new one to surprise and delight me in a new way but fresh from a trip to The DR to celebrate my husband’s birthday, I can tell you I have completely fallen in love with the brand new St.

As much as we love summer (and we really do!!) we’re always reallyyy excited to welcome a seasonal change. And there’s just something about ushering in fall that feels like a need to reset. In fact, fall one may be our favorite seasonal shift of them all! When October rolls in it feels like nature starts to slow down again and a part of our souls exhale a bit. As the air cools and the days begin to shorten we feel more a little more at ease and the desire to refocus and recommit.

Idk about y’all, but to us it felt like this entire summer saw the New England coastal aesthetic on full blast. Between Instagram feeds filled with Nantucket’s hydrangeas, Polo Ralph Lauren’s Oak Bluffs collection, and the popularity of Netflix shows based on the Elin Hilderbrand novels, it seems like everyone is yearning for an escape amongst the preppy elite.

MPR found herself on the island of Nantucket for the very first time at the start of this summer (click the link for our guide), and though she didn’t make it back to the Vineyard with her family this August,  she did get the opportunity to visit Newport, Rhode Island for the first time this month!

Nestled within The Landmark, Tiffany’s iconic 5th Avenue flagship store in New York City, is the Blue Box Café by Daniel Boulud. This long-awaited eatery recently reopened after closing its doors in 2019. And trust me, it’s the ultimate indulgence for every Breakfast At Tiffany’s fan.

Not long ago, I had a few girlfriends in town and it seemed fitting to plan a trip to Tiffany’s.

Every summer, we try to make it across the pond and spend a few weeks in Europe. Trips like that are always a challenge, but since having Teagan it’s only gotten more challenging. Between reservations that allow toddlers, sleep schedules and food there’s a lot that goes it not taking a toddler overseas. But this was our second summer taking him, so I’m here to tell you it IS possible (here are some products I stand by to help)!

Back in June, I met up with my beauty queen besties for our TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY trip! (At least) once a year since the summer of 2013 when we all competed for the title of Miss USA the four of us have made a point to meet up somewhere face-to-face. I would say it’s hard to believe it’s been a whole decade since we’ve been doing this, but the truth is, the four of us have been there for soooo many life-changing events over the years that it’s not so shocking that they would all add up to ten by now lol.

Pinck in Paris?! Oui, oui!

Just last week, the SoP team + friends took on Paris. Leading up to the trip, we were a bit nervous and didn’t know what to expect due to the city-wide protests and unpredictable weather calling for rain. Yet, to our surprise, the weather was gorgeous, and the protests were only one night (and we got a front-row seat since they were right below our Airbnb!). From the location of our stay to the food, and of course the shopping, we had such a great time exploring all the city had to offer.
