There are endless reasons to visit Paris: the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame cathedral where Mary Queen of Scots married Francois II on April 24, 1558 , the world-class shopping, the fabulous food, and the people-watching café culture made famous by writers Ernest Hemingway and Jean-Paul Sartre. Then there’s strolling along the River Seine and over its ultra-romantic bridges, the more than 130 museums, and those stupendous parks spread out before you in a feast for the senses.

One of the highlights of my life has been designing a collection of low-pile chenille rugs with Ruggable. I never thought I would have this unique opportunity to share my designs with people all over this country and in Canada and the U.K. When Ruggable called and said they had done a collaboration with the designer Jonathan Adler which had gone well and now wanted to do one with me, I said, “Who? Moi? Me?’’

I was so excited and said I would like nothing better than for people to have a washable option for their rugs.

I recently stayed at the One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico, and it set my design mind alight. Nestled in a lush tropical garden setting enshrouded by a jungle of palms, the resort is a blend of traditional Mexican hacienda architecture (red-tiled roofs, white-washed walls, dark wood beams) and contemporary touches like travertine floors and walls of windows. Hugging the Sea of Cortés with one of the area’s few swimmable beaches, the resort has 173 casita chic rooms with oceanview terraces, personal concierges and butlers, and espresso machines.

This week I visited the Rosewood Miramar Beach, Montecito’s newest luxury resort set on a 16-acre, pristine, private beach two hours north of Los Angeles but far from its frenetic pace. Opened in 2019, the property, owned by The Grove and Palisades Village shopping malls developer Rick Caruso, dates back to the late 1880s. The Manor House’s main building resembles a classic estate with white stone walls, a black roof, and leaded windows.
