All fun and no sleep

There’s always a new and fabulous hotel cropping up in NYC. Here are my favourites…

Anything but standard, if a building can be described as sexy I think the Standard is it.

Yep and gorgeous models just hang out the front. Love the fishtale braid, straight off a NYLON magazine shoot.

The Standard bar, perfect for sunset drinks.

The Jane is a magnificent looking hotel, old world and chic it’s straight out of a scene from Great Expectations.

Art Director (and tour guide!) Louisa Gent. Hold onto your shorts for summer ladies they had a huge following in the NY style stakes.

Crosby Street Hotel

The quirky garden

Soho House for great cocktails by the pool (to Australians its more like a bath but it does suffice)

Casting Director Melissa Woolford, working a timeless look aviators, Rolex and a G&T.
