“The W Barcelona’s internationally applauded design, by Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill, is quite the sight from the beach, Playa de Sant Sebastià. But my favorite part is the 26th-floor Eclipse bar surrounded by screen-saver-worthy views of the Mediterranean.” —AUDRA ASENCIO, Special Projects Editor (w-barcelona.com)

“The confluence of fashion, art, dance, and music has likely never been more potent than when Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes held sway between 1909 and 1929. Chanel, Picasso, Stravinsky, Cocteau, and Balanchine were just a few of those invited to astonish the legendary impresario, whose troupe’s innovations reverberate to this day. Assouline’s lavishly illustrated limited-edition Ballets Russes celebrates that explosion of creative forces.” —DIANE SOLWAY, Arts and Culture Editor (assouline.com; $750)

“At Maialino, Danny Meyer’s pitch-perfect Roman trattoria in the Gramercy Park Hotel, you can graze on an olive oil muffin and poached eggs over winter vegetables, then check out Roxanne Lowit’s shots of downtown luminaries (Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, et al) in the unisex restroom lounge. Who knew mornings could be so chic?”—REGAN SOLMO, Managing Editor (maialinonyc.com)

“On a recent trip to London, I popped into the Nails Inc. salon at Harvey Nichols for the Crystal Pedicure. Forty-five minutes later I walked out with sparkling Swarovski-pavé toes!” —CHRISTINA HAN, Associate Beauty Editor (nailsinc.com)

“I’ve always fantasized about having a neon sign in my apartment, despite the havoc it would wreak on my electric bill. The NYC store Let There Be Neon would be my first stop—they’ve done custom work for designers like Stella McCartney and Louis Vuitton (remember those Stephen Sprouse roses?) and even sell vintage pieces. Now I just have to figure out what my sign would say…” —VANESSA LAWRENCE, Fashion Writer (lettherebeneon.com)
