The first-of-its-kind underwater hotel we previewed back in April has finally opened at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, and it looks absolutely breathtaking, especially when viewed in the promotional video below, which features world-class free diver Alessia Zecchini.

The Muraka is distinct from a hotel suite—it’s a two-story “underwater hotel residence” with a bedroom 16 feet under the surface. From the bed a visitor can look up and feel like they’re spending a peaceful night under the ocean, without the troublesome danger of inhaling seawater. 

The Conrad Maldives didn’t stop with the stunning, minimalist bedroom—above the water is the second floor, which has a sun deck and infinity pool. There’s also a gym, a tub with an ocean view, a well-stocked bar and butler’s quarters. 

The requirements for a stay in the Muraka are what distinguish it from a one-night novelty —visitors commit to four days, or $200,000 for the entire package. But there’s even more to the package than the glorious view from the tub or the luminous experience in the underwater bedroom.

The four-night Muraka package will include a personal chef and a private boat, as well. 

The Conrad Maldives understands its best asset may be the crystal clear waters of the Indian ocean—after all, it also boasts Ithaa, a five-star restaurant with a similar view. 

It’s almost like a stay in Atlantis, minus the mermaids.

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of tricked-out tiny house Don Draper would use to get away from the hustle and bustle of ’60s-era Madison Avenue, look no further. 

Land Ark named their ultra-stylish RV after the iconic Mad Men character. The Draper model has a multitude of features he’d appreciate, including a foldout smoking deck and luxurious mid-century modern design. 

Black corrugated metal siding and sliding patio doors house 300 square feet of efficient living space. Recessed LED lighting and clerestory windows illuminate the built-in queen sleeper sofa, telescopic table and white-washed pine walls.

A kitchen complete a stainless steel fridge, gas cook top, oven, and plenty of counter space means your meals don’t have to shrink with the home. 

Beyond the gallery is a mudroom with a seven-foot-wide wardrobe, a separate utility closet with a washer and dryer, a nook with a bench, and a compact three-quarter bath.

Best of all, the sleeping loft can accommodate a king size bed, which would certainly please the aforementioned fictional adman. 

The Draper retails for $144,900 and takes 3-4 months to build. Take a tour in the photo gallery above, and head to Land Ark’s website to learn more. 

Traveling far and frequently has become the norm with living on the opposite side of the country from most of my family. With countless trips for holidays and vacations each year, you’d think that so much travel would teach me a thing or two about efficient packing.

But it wasn’t until recently that I finally figured out the art of the capsule wardrobe when packing for any of these extended trips. Easier said than done, managing to whittle down two weeks’ (and three stops’) worth of belongings into a carry-on suitcase felt like a personal breakthrough.

With an itinerary that involved everything from walking and exploring new places to nicer dinners out and more relaxed family time, packing for that much variety was the main challenge. My first important lesson: Avoid anything too specific. Hyper-trendy pieces are no use to you when you’ll only wear them once in the span of several weeks. What’s more, building a base of neutral pieces means that the outfit combos can be virtually endless.

Which brings me to my second lesson: Let the accessories, shoes, and bags do all the talking. The third lesson: Choose footwear wisely. Avoid packing shoes that only go with one or two articles of clothing, and instead opt for your most versatile pairs. With these basic rules in mind, I built a capsule wardrobe out of 12 pieces. And yes, it lasted me for two weeks of travel.

Instantly recognizable by her bleach blonde hair, super-influencer Jessie Bush’s fashion career has taken many a fascinating turn since she first set up her street style blog back in 2011. She now documents everything from city guides to beauty, and the Bush brand has definitely expanded over the last seven years, but great outfits are still at the heart of what keeps her 349,000 Instagram followers coming back for more.

Never one to be confined to a single fashion archetype, New Zealander Jessie has a chameleon-like ability to seamlessly shift her style: One day it’s a pared-back androgynous suit and the next a frivolous ruffled gown. She possesses a bit of London eclecticism, a dash of Milanese glamour and a good dose of Scandi cool. Oh, and she lives in Barcelona. You just can’t pin that girl down.

Perhaps it’s this versatility that has made us gravitate towards Jessie when looking for style inspiration—you can always count on her to bring something new to every Instagram post, even if she’s wearing the same items on repeat (which is also a quality we appreciate). As her autumnal fashion game has been so damn strong, we decided to create an edit of the four recent outfits that reflect the many faces of this style maven. From color and print to dreamy party dresses, scroll down to see and shop our favorite Jessie Bush looks.

We’ve always admired Margherita Missoni for her fearless Italian-girl style (if you’re not following her on Instagram at @mmmargherita, you’re missing out on some seriously fun outfit inspo). Bright colors, playful patterns, statement accessories? She’s game for all of it and clearly prefers dressing on the bolder side of the fashion spectrum.

When we heard she’d be teaming up with Splendid for another collab—this one dropping just in time for the holidays—we instantly began dreaming of festive apparel. What we got IRL? The perfect blend of the comfy, casual pieces we know and love from Splendid, plus Missoni’s unique color-infused flair. We should probably also mention that the collection is super affordable, starting at only $59. We were fortunate to chat with the designer herself about her inspiration for the line, as well as the one item she says is a must-have for the holidays.

There are a few things I feel extremely comfortable in aside from a blanket. However, a boilersuit comes pretty close. Loose-fitting but flattering, casual but chic with heels and easy to layer throughout the year, this pedigree breed of an all-in-one is a true wonder.

I have a couple of age-old boilersuits lurking in my closet because they’re the kind of throw-on piece that comes back around in fashion every couple of years. Some styling moves may change, like the fact that so many people have worn theirs this summer with “ugly” sandals and belt bags, but essentially, the same item will see you through each and every return. Hint: This season, fashion girls are wearing theirs with roll-necks.

In 2018, the boiler suit comeback was kickstarted by the most unlikely version: a pink button-down, super-baggy Ganni jumpsuit. It became a constant presence on the stylish streets of Scandinavian Fashion Week and then filtered through to Instagram. The trend has also inspired sellout pink all-in-ones from ASOS and Urban Outfitters. It was proof that such a traditionally “masculine” and industrial item could be rebelliously fashionable. Next came Topshop’s top-stitched denim boiler suit: More fitted and significantly more retro than it’s power-pink siblings, this sold out in mere moments. Since these two big retail hits, we’ve been on a non-stop boiler suit mission, confident that it will translate so well into next year. Keep scrolling to see what we’ve found…
