HOTEL DU CAP-EDEN-ROC
The Place Summer Returns To Images courtesy of Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc PERCHED AT THE EDGE OF CAP D'ANTIBES FOR OVER 150 YEARS, THIS LEGENDARY HOTEL IS MORE THAN A DESTINATION-IT IS A RITUAL OF SUMMER ITSELF. There is a particular moment that happens at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc that people who have stayed there know instantly. It is usually late afternoon. The light begins to soften across the rocks below the Eden-Roc pool. Lunch has stretched longer than intended. Someone orde


The New Energy Equation
Rethinking how we fuel the mind Founder & Chief Nutritionist, Sarah Wragge Wellness There was a time when energy was measured in output—how much we could do, how long we could sustain it. Today, the conversation is shifting toward something more refined: mental clarity. In my work, I see more and more clients beginning to connect how they feel cognitively—focus, memory, overall clarity—with what’s happening metabolically in the body. This aligns with a growing body of resea


A New Altitude
Images courtesy of Otto Aviation There is a particular moment in aviation when progress stops looking incremental and begins to feel architectural—when the shape itself suggests a different way of thinking. The Phantom 3500, developed by Otto Aerospace, belongs to that category. At first glance, it appears unfamiliar. No visible windows. A smooth, uninterrupted fuselage. A silhouette that feels closer to a concept than a finished aircraft. That impression is intentional. Th


The New Codes of Summer Dressing
The transition into summer demands a wardrobe that prioritizes restraint over logos and texture over trends. This season, the "New Codes" are rooted in what we call The Unstudied Equestrian—a look that feels as at home in a Greenwich paddock as it does on a flight to Bermuda. Maniere De Voir Tailored Blazer We are moving away from the "coastal grandmother" aesthetic into something sharper, leaner, and more intentional, where the architecture of the garment takes center stage.


Cannes: The Convergence of Cinema and Style
Every May, a small crescent of the French Riviera transforms into the undisputed center of the cultural universe. To call the Festival de Cannes a mere "film festival" is like calling a vintage Bordeaux "just fermented juice." It is an alchemy of high art and high fashion—a ten-day fever dream where the cinematic stakes are as high as the six-inch stilettos navigating the cobblestones of the Croisette. Here, the convergence of cinema and style isn’t just an aesthetic choice;


48 Hours in Mystic
Where heritage is woven with salt air, culinary mastery, luminous art, and the quiet magic of rivers meeting sea. You arrive at Delamar Mystic in that golden stretch between day and dusk, when the river seems to hold its breath and the town glows in reflected light. This isn’t a hotel that merely sits in Mystic — it carries the town’s story in its bones. Walls in the public spaces are adorned with nautical pieces drawn from the personal collection of Charles Mallory, a descen


Shake Up Mother’s Day With 3 Brunch-Ready Cocktails

If you really want to celebrate the woman who dealt with your teenage years, you’re going to need something chilled, sparkling, and served in a fancy glass. Whether your mom is a "rosé all day" enthusiast or a "double shot of espresso" powerhouse, we’ve got the perfect pour for her special Sunday. The "Mom-osa" Upgrade Best for: The Classic Bruncher The standard OJ-and-bubbly is fine, but Mom deserves a promo

The Economics of a Dream. What it really costs to win the Kentucky Derby

Beneath the spectacle lies a far more complex reality: the true cost—financial, emotional, and otherwise—of chasing one of sport’s most elusive victories.
