Plan a Bond-Worthy Escape To The One&Only Ocean Club In The Bahamas This Winter!

This winter, if you are craving to escape somewhere that is tropical, elegant, and definitely splurge-worthy, consider the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Since the Ocean Club was featured in the James Bond flick Casino Royale just a couple of years back, fans of Bond (or maybe just Daniel Craig) may already feel familiar with the resort's hushed decadence and luxe British colonial decor. Luckily, you don't have to be a dashing British spy to enjoy this fabulous resort located, very fittingly, on Paradise Island. What was once a private estate and mid-1900's Hollywood hot spot, the "Club" is now an enchanting escape and island playground for the adventurous travelers, the spa-lovers, the golfers, and the gourmands alike. Craving relaxation? Then grab a good book, a beach towel, and a frozen drink and spend the day on the resort's pristine and private alabaster beach. Craving excitement? Then walk next door to the neighboring 18-hole championship golf course, or stay resort-side to try some jet-skiing, snorkeling, or exploring of the Club's stunningly landscaped Versailles gardens. Enjoy High Tea, complimentary afternoon champagne (served by butlers, of course), and at sundown head over to the beachside restaurant, Dune, for cocktails and critically-acclaimed French-Colonial cuisine. So whether you come to the eat caviar and stay in one of the Club's private villas just like your favorite British secret agent, or if you are simply craving a chic yet exotic getaway, consider Bahamas hot spot the One&Only Ocean Club. Click SLIDESHOW for more information and pictures of the fabulous Ocean Club resort.

Lilly Pulitzer: Desperate Housewife Turned Design Legend

One day back in 1959, a desperate housewife took a dozen colorful dresses made by her dressmaker and set them up for sale at an orange juice stand. From this simple beginning, a legend was born. Within five years, it seemed almost every American woman was sporting one of Lilly Pulitzer's simple sheath dresses in an eye-popping print. Lilly became a favorite at resorts and country clubs nationwide and even Jacqueline Kennedy became a fan. And while the Lilly Pulitzer label continues to manufacture clothes today, the early vintage dresses and skirts of the 1960s and 1970s still hold a special charm. Just click SEE SLIDESHOW to see seven sweet examples.

Jetsetting at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Spa in Bangkok!

What gives a spa the title of the best in the world? Stylehivers wanted to know, so I flew to Bangkok and checked myself into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to find out. Why so far? Because no other spa has been so internationally talked about as being the most amazing on the planet, and The Robb Report (a magazine all about ultra-luxury) rated it as the best in the world for their 30th anniversary issue. Ratings-schmatings, I had to find out for myself what all the fuss was about and so begins the journey!
