The incredible Superyacht Diamonds are forever by Benetti Yachts

  Diamonds are forever…

The name’s Staluppi, John Staluppi. If a boat is named after a Bond film, then it must be John Staluppi’s boat – it’s almost a personal signature, expressing one of the individual preferences of the legendary American tycoon, although for some time now he has been involved in a stronger, more overwhelming passion: period cars. John Staluppi has cultivated his passion for classic cars for many years, putting together his own private collection of fabulous vehicles that culminated in the creation of the incredible Cars of Dreams Museum. It’s a remarkable, unique collection of numerous cars from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, all beautifully preserved in the immaculate splendour of their impeccably polished paintwork and glittering mirror-effect chrome plating. With their sleek lines and bright colours, these cars are fascinating metal sculptures, magically intact examples of technological and artistic beauty. Continue Reading…

CHIC TRAVEL: 5 GORGEOUS VILLAS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

January 5, 2015

From the editors of TownandCountryMag.com it’s never too early to get a head start on planning your next vacation. These gorgeous villas will provide plenty of inspiration.

Domaine de Manville, Les Baux-de-Provence

Locals Patrick and Edith Saut spent a decade transforming a 100-acre, circa 1908 cereal farm into a country retreat that’s about as idyllic as it gets. Opened in July, Domaine de Manville has 30 quaint guest rooms, a garden spa, pool, and an 18-hole golf course surrounded by olive groves and Cypress trees. At the backyard restaurant, young talent Steve Deconinck (another local) serves free-range lamb chops, fresh Provençal produce from black olive tapenade to slow-roasted tomatoes, and desserts made with honey cultivated on site. Barnyard touches abound, most notably the roosters and sheep who roam the property. Rooms from $302 a night; domainedemanville.fr Continue Reading…

I don’t have it confirmed but I am pretty certain she is wearingChanel’s Malice 637 from the Holiday 2012 collection.
