Roundup of my favorite things this week… follow it, don’t judge it.
The Vintage Twin Summer Trunk Show, Anantara Phuket Villas, and Badass Body Scanners
Hotel. Anantara Phuket Villas.
On the grounds of a former coconut plantation on the Thai island’s still-secluded northwest coast, the 83 over-the-top villas of Anantara Phuket are draped in bougainvillea and have pools, daybeds, rain showers and — thanks to wood fences — an intensely private vibe. With an infinity pool and a spot on quiet Mai Khao Beach, it’s no wonder this sexy resort made Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot List (thanks BB!)
Event. The Vintage Twin Summer Trunk Show.
I love a good set of twins and these two, are winn-to-the-ers. Entrepreneurs to a fault, Morgan and Sam Elias the gals behind The Vintage Twin will suit you up with authentic vintage garb. Now, we’re not talking about your granny’s flea market finds… think hand-picked, remodeled (for both the ladies and gents) Christian Dior, YSL, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Zegna and Escada, just to name a few. The Vintage Twin’s 3rd Annual NYC Summer Trunk show goes down this Monday June 20th. And don’t just shop for you, shop for ‘Project Kids Worldwide’ as 10% of all proceeds will be donated to this incredible cause.


TSA Tech. Badass Full Body Scanners.
I’m semi-turned on by these futuristic body scanners presented at the World Air Transport Summit in Singapore this week. These three-laned, clubby-lit scanners would dispel the need for the x-ray machine or the metal detector — travelers just walk through, shoes, liquids and all. Of course, this is all just a pipe dream, but we’re putting our vote in early: We like it. For now, check out our new Personal Travel Planning service and find a spot that’s worth braving the TSA for.
