About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom
Fashion is a most definitely a passion, however I love to inspire people. I love sharing things I have discovered. From London originally but brought up in Berlin, family in Marrakech and spend most of my life living out of a suitcase. Most people would despise the continuous nomadic behaviour, however I thrive on packing for a new adventure! Stay tuned as I post about 2-3 times a week giving you a taster on my exciting finds!

WHEN IN THE ACE HOTEL- The Ace of my Heart!

A Cocktail of Old school Hollywood Glamour and Urban street style !


The Ace hotel is one of those places where you feel for a certain amount of time within the building seriously cool and seriously hip!

The Ace hotel in New York looks like a melange of Hollywood movie sets from all eras, genres and styles. You walk in through a door lit up with naked lightbulbs spelling out the name into a dramatic hallway with large columns dim lighting and a echoing retro music.

I want everything that is in that room!! No matter how wacky and mad the place looks it all seems to fit. Every last detail, whether its the large red worn out sofas covered in animal throws or the retro lamps scattered all over the room. Even the staff blend in with the surroundings! Doc Martins and funky tattoos- you feel like you have entered a strange portal mixing in all forms of life and time.
You look around and you have a vintage photobooth on one side where you can get some snapshots whilst sipping on some wine ( as you do! ) and on the other an american styled wooden bar from down south.

The rooms are as funky as the lobby each being unique and as retro as the other. The hotel offers a wide range of choice in regards to size and services so you are never dissapointed and there is something for everyone.

Take a trip to the Lobby bar at the start of your night and then end up in the oyster bar sipping on a cool cocktail surrounded by the most amazing decor.

This is a must stay When in NYC

You're the top!
You're the Coliseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louver Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, YOUR THE ACE you're the top!
