The Fairmont Mayakoba Inspired This Designer's New Line of Travel Accessories
Where: Carretera Federal Cancún- Playa del Carmen Km. 298, Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, 77710
Usually, when fashion designers get inspired by fancy hotels and resorts, it's bikinis they churn out. But in the case of designer Stephanie Johnson, what we get is a new range of travel accessories. And the hotel that took Johnson's fancy? The Fairmont Mayakoba, on Mexico's Riviera Maya.
We haven't stayed at this property but we've stayed at one next door that's on the same Mayakoba development of lush jungle rolling down to the ocean. Can't say we blame Johnson for getting inspired--it is indeed very pretty!
So is the new line of bags, which includes an iPad case and a few small cosmetics bags that double as cute clutches for a night out on the town—or on the beach at the resort's bar.

Pretty in Pink for the Holidays at Betsey Johnson's Plaza Pop-Up Shop
Love pink stuff? Love New York City's The Plaza Hotel? Hate the high prices ($75 headbands!) of the pink-perfect Eloise shop at The Plaza? We're with you all the way. There's some relief however, as The Plaza has just opened a Betsey Johnson holiday pop-up shop in the lower-level Shops arcade at the hotel.
We just went and roamed around it ourselves, and though it's itsy-bitsy, it definitely packs the pinkest punch. The store associates told us that Betsey wanted the shop chock-full of accessories, and that it is; her sparkly jewelry, funky watches, quilted clutches and even winter hats are everywhere. Rest assured they've got Betsey's signature clothing line as well, in all its crinolined, punky princess glory. The only thing is—when we expressed interest in a particularly stunning necklace but in a larger size—we were told that items are already beginning to sell out. Thankfully if you're that hard-up for something sparkly to wear to your holiday shindig, there are other Betsey shop locations around the city.
If you go, the Betsey Johnson pop-up is only open until January 9.

The Hotel Bikini Trend Continues, Now Starring Trina Turk
When it rains, it pours and right now in Turks & Caicos hotel land, it's raining bikinis. Designer bikinis inspired by luxury resorts, that is.
Yesterday, we told you about Heidi Klein's Parrot Cay-inspired collection--but there's a real resortwear star hot on her heels, too. Trina Turk's collaboration with another TCI property, Grace Bay Club, hits stores on December 15. It's called--of course--the Trina Turks & Caicos collection and is the first designer collabo for the resort.

Parrot Cay Inspires Bikinis (And Nope, Not By Resident Donna Karan)
We're still talking about our trip to Parrot Cay and that was over a year ago. So, we totally understand how the beach-posh beauty of the resort inspires people to move there (what's up, Bruce Willis? You, too, Donna Karan?)--and now, design a resort-wear collection inspired by the place.
Surprisingly, the designer in question is not Karan--although she does sell the divine COMO Shambala beauty products in her Urban Zen boutique in NYC. The new Parrot Cay pieces are from Heidi Klein, a Brit known for creating swimwear that 'exudes a barefoot chic confidence'.

W's Global Fashion Director Speaks
Who's the new Global Fashion Director at W Hotels, you ask? Why, you're looking right at her! Jenné Lombardo was tapped as the company's newest fashion leader, after ex-GFD Amanda Ross passed on the torch last month.
Though Lombardo has been hard at work assembling the newest group of local designers for W's fashion collection—now in its fifth season—she found some time to chat with us yesterday at the W New York's launch party. Read on below for her thoughts on the new collection, picking the designers, and what makes a good hotel. Hint: it has nothing to do with clothes.

Gansevoort Only Wears Clothes From The Next Generation
What happens when a flashy brand like Lacoste sets up shop inside a flashy hotel lobby like Gansevoort Park Avenue? Well, the staff uniforms get a whole lot, er, flashier.
Even though the hotel's already been open for a year, the infamous alligator brand is just now getting ready to deck out the entire hotel staff, according to the NY Times. Not limiting itself just to Park Avenue, however, the company will service both Gansevoort hotels, plus the Soho House, and Nobu out in the Hamptons.

The Kate Spade Bike Goes Round and Round at Shutters on The Beach
In Santa Monica, Calif. the June Gloom has finally lifted (on most days at least) to make way for perfect beach cruising weather. And now at the beachfront luxury spot, Shutters on the Beach you can do your cruising in high style, thanks to their new Kate Spade bikes.
The eye-popping green bikes are actually handmade Italian bicycles from Adeline Adeline but they've been styled by Kate Spade and the green is the brand's signature color.

The W South Beach Is Celebrating Its 2nd Birthday In a Bikini (And We Tried It On!)
Designer Melissa Odabash with the exclusive 2nd anniversary bikini.
What else you would you wear to your second anniversary but a va-va voom animal-print bikini by the glam designer whose creations have adorned the bods of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss and Kate Middleton?(Yes, that white bikini.)
It's hard to believe that the W South Beach has been open for two years already, but it's still got that certain something, and continues to host some of South Beach's hottest events, including a string of Miami Swim Week parties in recent days. The hotel's exclusive birthday suit is available for a limited time—July only—at W The Store, South Beach, and costs $161.

When Caribbean Week Hits NYC, A Flip-Flop Ball Will Hit The Plaza
Visiting New York's famous Plaza Hotel is a dream for many people, but what about mixing The Plaza's upper-class hoighty-toightiness with some good ol' casual fun? Now that's something we could get into, and it looks like we won't have to wait too long. A Flip-Flop Ball will go down at The Plaza on June 10, in celebration of "Caribbean Week" in NYC.
The event is open to the public, so long as you cough up $350 for a ticket (most proceeds go to scholarships "for Caribbean nationals pursuing careers in tourism").
From the ankle-up, you should dress as if you're attending a regular floofy ball at The Plaza. However, from the ankle down, feel free to bust out the plastic flower-bedecked thongs, your favorite pair of cozy $2.50 Old Navy flops, or—our personal favorites—the Reef sandals with bottle-opener soles. That little extra gadget surely helps cut some of the time waiting for your beer at the bar.
Oh, wait—did we mention there'll be Caribbean rum tastings all night? Stay tune to their Facebook page for when they release the tickets for the ball.

Will You Buy Socks from The Standard Hotel's Minibars?
Although we haven't talked about Standard Hotels' various product collaborations in a while, you can rest assured that they've continue to roll them out. The latest is actually cute—$12 pairs of Happy Socks to call to mind each Standard property with their design. They don't stink of just-for-the-sake-of-doing-a-collab like the Kaws lightbulbs did, so we might actually buy these.
Each hotel—The Standard NYC, Standard Miami, Standard Downtown LA and Standard Hollywood—have two different pairs of Happy Socks for you to choose from. According to Refinery 29, guests will find them for sale in the hotel room minibars, but of course they're just as available online at Shop The Standard.

Hotels Are Not on the Drawing Board for Marc Jacobs
Back in January, we asked a simple question: "Will Marc Jacobs be the next fashion designer to do a hotel?" Today, we have the answer, thanks to a chat with Robert Duffy, President of Marc Jacobs International and a longtime friend of the Marc. We were covering the opening of the new Bookmarc store for Racked NY, but we couldn't resist asking Duffy about the possibilities of a Hotel MJ.
Although you can buy "Hotel Marc Jacobs" keychains at a few of the designer's Bleecker Street boutiques in New York, Robert Duffy assured us that a hotel is not in the works. They have been approached by many chains to do projects like what Missoni or Versace have done with the Hotel Missoni and Palazzo Versace hotel chains, but MJ just isn't biting.
The closest to a Marc Jacobs Hotel you'll find for now is the newly opened Marc Jacobs Collection boutique in the base of Chicago's Elysian Hotel.

No More Naked Swimming at The Standard Hotels
Good news for fans of hotel pools and showing off their hot bods by them! Standard Hotels has relaunched their collaboration with Roxy Quiksilver for a second summer, bringing in a new variety of men's and women's swimwear, plus sunglasses and sunscreen. It's what to wear upstairs at Le Bain, no doubt.
This year's range of styles features four swim trunk designs—one for each Standard Hotel—plus a reversible women's bikini, a pair of Quiksilver sunglasses and sunscreen from Shiseido. A pair of boardshorts comes in two lengths (16" or 18") and they're priced at $75, if you can locate the one vending machine that sells them at each of the hotels. The bikini and sunglasses are going for $88 each, and if you can't make it to a hotel, get 'em online.
