STAY HERE Refuge de la Traye, Meribel, France
With ‘wellness‘ already the word of the month, look to luxury mountain retreat Refuge de la Traye which offers the ultimate in world-class spa treatments, holistic wellness activities, and awe-inspiring Alpine views. Hidden away in the Alps, this property is the stuff of fairy tales. Not far from the madding pistes of Méribel, at the centre of the world’s biggest ski area, the Trois Vallees, the hotel’s setting puts it a world apart from the clanging lifts and après-ski hullabaloo of other resorts. Rather, its a sanctuary that accepts only 14 guests at a time, swathed in sheepskin throws and high-thread-count sheets, promising seclusion in highly-luxurious alpine style, along with cutting-edge spa treatments. If skiing is not your thing, indulge at their full service, Spa du Refuge de la Traye, which features an outdoor hot tub with panoramic views, a sauna, a hammam, and a Nordic bath, supplemented with expertly-led signature treatments including the advanced VIVACE microneedling and HydraFacial therapies, offered in collaboration with the renowned Biologique Recherche brand.
VISIT THIS Louis Vuitton x Murakami Pop-Up

The concept space reveals the full Louis Vuitton x Murakami product offering plus hosts an archival module with pieces from the original collections, a vending machine with special, collectible gifts, a ‘care and repair’ station, plus a cafe offering delicate baked goods and drinks in specially printed cups and napkins with exclusive Louis Vuitton x Murakami designs.
USE THIS Westman Atelier Petal Collection
A natural flush cheek and lipstick is all too difficult to fin… one second. Westman Atelier‘s Petal Collection (named after her daughter) is as close to perfection as I would want for a perfectly natural glow. The expanded collection now includes a highlighter, lipstick and liquid lipstick. It’s a matte formula that offers a cool-girl stamp of pigment but in a “hydro-matte finish” infused with skin goodies in a dusky pinky/peach/nude that is supremely flattering. The clean, translucent gel highlighter imparts skin with radiant clarity to instantly perk up dull skin (Lit Up Highlight Stick in Petal, £44); The Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in Petal (£45) has a dreamy, airy feel and vivid, clean pigment for lips that feel as good as they look; and the tinted clean lip treatment cushions lips with weightless, “juicy” nourishment to hydrate and protect (Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Petal, £35). Wear alone or all together for an irresistibly fresh effect.
