This week’s seven has me looking ahead to cooler weather and the trips that might follow. There’s an Alpine hotel to dream about, Caribbean villas for a winter escape, fall cocktails and Cabernet to pour with friends, and a few fresh ideas in design, food, and travel.
Airport Lounges Are Getting Delicious
Food & Travel
Airport lounges have come a long way, and I’m here for the competition to keep raising the bar. Food & Wine looks at how lounges are putting more thought into food and drink, from chef-designed menus to Champagne and espresso bars. For those of us who spend plenty of time in airports, these are upgrades we can appreciate.

Cabernet Season Is Back
Wine
Cooler evenings always make me want to reach for a fuller red. VinePair asked 11 sommeliers which Cabernets offer the best value, and a few of their picks are regulars on my own recommendation list – Heitz and Faust, for starters. A good bottle for fall doesn’t have to be a splurge!

The Next Names in American Design
Design
I love discovering designers before they are everywhere. Architectural Digest’s 2026 New American Voices introduces an emerging group of interior designers from across the country, each with a distinct point of view. Plenty of rooms here to linger over.
A Caribbean Villa Daydream
Travel & Architecture
Sometimes a hotel room just isn’t enough. This collection of Caribbean villas is pure vacation inspiration: beautiful spaces, room to gather with friends, and a very persuasive argument for putting a warm-weather trip on the calendar – anyone planning Spring Break already?!

A Little More Protein on the Plate
Food & Wellness
I’m always looking for easy ways to add more protein to a mostly vegetarian meal. This list of higher-protein vegetables is a useful reminder that edamame, peas, and the greens already in the fridge can help. I’m taking it as inspiration for my next lunch salad!
The French Alps, Rosewood Style
Travel & Design
If I were planning a ski trip – even with my mediocre skiing skills – Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin would be on my target list. It’s the brand’s first alpine hotel, and the combination of mountain scenery and beautiful interiors makes a compelling case for winter travel.

Apple Cocktails for Fall
Drink
I’m ready for apple season, with a twist. Wine Enthusiast rounded up 20+ apple cocktails, from lighter sips to drinks made with Calvados and cider. I’m picturing one of these in hand, a fire going, and cozy socks on.

Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!
