Living and working in Los Angeles means I'm constantly surrounded by an incredible creative energy that feeds everything I do. One of my favorite places in LA is Marta Gallery—Heidi, one of the founders, used to work in my studio and she has an incredible eye for unique and desirable design. When I need inspiration, I love wandering through the Arts District or spending afternoons in West Hollywood, discovering new artists and makers. Maxfield has become an essential for me. The way they curate design, art, and fashion all in one space perfectly captures what I love about this city. The Good Liver is where I go to discover thoughtful, artisanal products from around the globe that inspire a more intentional way of living.

Paris calls my family and I back every single year. There's something magical about how the city holds space for both my creative practice and my family memories. We've been going there for years now, and it's where work and inspiration blur in the most beautiful way. I'm completely obsessed with Le Bristol—it's where I stay every single time, and honestly, having a triple macchiato delivered to my room each morning while my family is still sleeping feels like the ultimate luxury. I spend my mornings at Piasa (just a block away from Le Bristol) during auction season, then afternoons exploring Galerie Scene Ouverte and Galerie Kreo. These galleries are pushing contemporary design in the most unexpected directions. Bistrot Paul Bert is my go-to for that perfect classic French dinner with the family, and Hôtel Balzac has the most incredible bar for those late-night conversations after everyone else has gone to bed.

We stayed at Villa Magnan last year in Biarritz and I was in awe of it. Every room had its own palette, every object told a story. The Villa's owners, Anne and Jérôme, are former set stylists and film directors, so the whole place feels like living inside a beautifully curated film. The Musée Basque is packed with traditional Basque craft and culture, and Galerie Champ Lacombe brings international artists to the region. But honestly, I'm happy to just watch the surfers along Côte des Basques or discover tiny pintxos bars in the old town. De Puta Madre, the restaurant in Villa Magnan's garden, is pure theater, with an open kitchen under glass, vintage furniture, and candles everywhere.

Marrakech holds a special place in my heart. My husband Brad and I first visited in our early years together, and it's become one of those cities that never fails to inspire my work. There's a real mastery of 'recombination' there, even though you see the same patterns and colors and textures, they are endlessly reinterpreted and often made to feel very fresh and new. We always stay at El Fenn in the heart of the Medina. It is a stunning riad filled with vibrant colors, amazing contemporary art, and lush greenery. The rooftop bar isn't to be missed, and their shop is just as energized as the hotel. La Mamounia is legendary for a reason—the tilework alone could inspire a thousand projects. Jardin Majorelle is essential, not just for that iconic cobalt blue, but for how it perfectly synthesizes French and Moroccan design sensibilities.

Yolanda Edwards has an incredible ability to uncover hidden gems in the most unexpected places—her recommendations feel like discovering a secret only the most discerning insiders know about. Whether she's highlighting an emerging ceramicist in Joshua Tree or a hole-in-the-wall taco spot in Mexico City, her curation feels deeply authentic and never predictable.

Mélanie Masarin brings this beautiful intersection of wellness and wanderlust that resonates so deeply with how I approach travel. Her picks always consider the full sensory experience—not just where to stay, but how to truly inhabit a place. I love how she weaves together design, culture, and mindfulness in ways that make every journey feel more intentional.

As I travel, I like to keep up all of my beauty and wellness habits, and my CurrentBody red light mask has become a bit of a beauty obsession. I’ve even used it mid-flight. There’s something calming about those 20 minutes of red light therapy while suspended between places. It feels precise and intentional—three wavelengths working quietly while I’m in motion. I’ll usually follow it with a hydrating mask, and the whole routine resets me. I arrive looking (and feeling) more rested, which makes such a difference, especially when stepping into a new city or with a full day ahead.
