By Peter Minkoff

Wedding planning can be quite stressful. Choosing the right venue, menu, and everything else can leave you exhausted. What is not stressful and exhausting is traveling with your beloved and enjoying your time together. Whether you are planning a honeymoon right after the wedding or waiting to have your first vacation as newlyweds, do everything you can to make it the best vacation. Where you go is important, so take a look at these five suggestions that could be your next summer vacation destination.

Vieques, Puerto Rico

Vieques is a charming and romantic island belonging to Puerto Rico. It is an example of pre-industrial life in Puerto Rico. The natives are very caring of the island and its nature, so Vieques remains a well preserved tropical haven perfect for romantic getaways. There are many beautiful sandy beaches here, the water is clear blue and perfect for swimming. You can have long days on the beach sunbathing and swimming when it gets too hot. The unspoiled nature of the island also means there are lush green forests where you can go hiking or riding a horse. The most interesting part of visiting Vieques will definitely be seeing wild horses running around the island freely. This is truly a nature sanctuary and you are bound to have a lovely and relaxing time here.

Santorini, Greece

This little slice of traveler’s haven is located in the middle of the Aegean Sea and it is a well-known travel destination by now. Many travelers have visited this mesmerizing island and you should consider having a romantic getaway there, too. White houses with blue details set on cliff sides of the island rising from the dark blue sea are a well-recognized sight of Santorini and one you must experience for yourself. There are many trails on the island you can walk down to get to know it better. Enjoy the day on the beach and wait to see the sun set on the beautiful horizon. Santorini is also a great place for wine lovers. The island is known for its indigenous white grapes Assyrtiko, Athiri, and Aidani. They are used to produce a variety of white wines and Vinsanto dessert wine. Vinsanto has been produced here since ancient times and it has a great reputation, so don’t miss a chance to try it.

Sydney, Australia

Sydney is unlike the previous suggestions. This is a big city known for its beautiful architecture, great food and nightlife, and friendly people. If you pick Sydney as your destination, make sure to take a walk through different parts of it. The view of the Sydney Harbour, which is considered one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, is a must-see. Here you can also climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the world’s biggest steel arch bridge, and soak in the best view of the city. The best part of visiting Sydney during summer in the northern hemisphere is that in Sydney, it is winter. Winter in Australia is mild, the average temperature is about 15 °C and it almost never snows. You will be able to walk around the city without getting too hot and cool down a bit if you are coming from somewhere warm. While here, you can visit some of the most beautiful beaches and parks, try the local cuisine, and have fun like a native going to their favorite hangouts. Della Hyde is a bar frequently visited by locals and it is a great place to have a few drinks and get to know the real Sydney.

Aman Sveti Stefan, Montenegro

Aman Sveti Stefan is a fortified island village in Montenegro. You should visit this island if you are hoping to have a luxurious and relaxing vacation with the best views around. Even Lord Byron said, “At the birth of our planet, the most beautiful encounter between land and sea must have been on the Montenegrin coast.” The most beautiful encounter between land and sea in Montenegro is definitely Aman Sveti Stefan. Here you will find a beautiful historic fortress, beaches, and mesmerizing views of the Montenegrin Mountains. Get to know the best of Montenegro, relax by the sea, and have a romantic vacation at one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Lucerne, Switzerland

Lucerne is the place to visit for music lovers. The Lucerne Festival is a series of classical music festivals taking place in Lucerne every year. The biggest part of it is the Summer Festival featuring over a hundred events. If you and your beloved love classical music, spend your summer vacation in Lucerne listening to the best performances it has to offer. This old town is surrounded by mountains and it is set on the shore of Lake Lucerne. The beauty of its natural surroundings will take your breath away. You can enjoy nature, the historic architecture of the town, and the festivities while here.

Tips on how to smarten up your business trip

Travelling for work can be a stressful experience, trips to the airport, meetings, schedules etc. can take their toll. But perhaps the hardest part of the whole trip is the wardrobe choices. Odds are on your trip you need to meet with people, attend events, dinners and other meets and greet, therefore you constantly need to look the part. However, you don’t want to be carrying a lot of luggage with you, so you need to find the balance and bring a small number of key pieces that will get you through any eventuality.

Here are a few tips to make your packing (at least!) stress free!

First, figure out exactly what you need to take…if you have a dinner event, consider bringing an outfit that can go from day to night with just a few adjustments. Therefore, you are packing less clothes, instead you are using one item and wearing it two different ways. For example, taking several ties of different patterns and colors to match your shirt is a good choice. For business women, you can also try to cover your day dress with an eye catching coat. Which is quite risqué, but in a good way!

And the look becomes a stylish day time one!

Then, when you are going out for dinner or drinks that evening, remove your coat, flash your elegant dress(or your nice silk shirt), better add in a pop of color with matching shoes or a dressy silk scarf.

Eh voila, one look, two ways! Saves a bit of space in your bag!

Don’t forget about down time when you are away also. If you are a gym bunny, then a good idea is to pack some work out gear or perhaps a swimsuit. Easy to fit in as they take up very little space and may be a welcome addition to your trip if the work part gets a bit too much. Working out is the best stress reliever after all.

Gorgeous, and while conservative enough for a work trip, still says that you’ve got personality, plus, on trend!

For traveling, I would recommend a jumpsuit. Now, don’t be afraid, jumpsuits have come a long way since Charlies Angels and are now a comfortable and accessible piece of clothing, no matter what your style or shape. They are a great one-piece item to pack in, as they take up very little space and look amazing. Great for the trip there and back because you look both smart and professional but also you can move around easily and feel relaxed.

Wear with a pair of flats to give your feet and easy time too! You never want wear your leather shoes or height heels from morning till night, right?

Nearly there, the final point is don’t forget the handbag. If you pick the right one, then one is all you will need, trick is…go for a neutral color which will match whatever you wear…light tan is a winner.

I know, right? Amazing, and screams…I am a strong, confident businessman/woman with style AND substance.

Happy Travels!

Oh…nearly forgot, top tip! When packing, roll up your clothes: this double edged sword means you will fit more in your bag and remove the risk of creased clothes….you’re welcome!!

Luxurious Bachelor Party Ideas

By Peter Minkoff

If your best friend is soon to be married and you’re the one who’s in charge of throwing an unforgettable bachelor party, just make sure to stay with us and keep on reading! Here are four amazing ideas and tips on how to accomplish that like a pro, so take a look at them and enjoy!

A bachelor party in Bali? Why not!

Bali is one of the most popular destinations when it comes to boys’ trips, and there are definitely good reasons for that. Apart from stunning beaches, amazing food, and dozens of outdoor activities to get your blood flowing, Bali also offers a really attractive party scene that mustn’t be overlooked. Of course, you shouldn’t neglect hundreds of gorgeous ladies in their tiny bikinis, which are definitely a sight for sore eyes. If you know that a groom-to-be particularly enjoys the ocean and all its wonders, you can always opt for a luxurious yacht party that includes a lunch, plenty of booze, and a waitress dressed in a bikini. Spending a day on a yacht will add an inevitable touch of extravagance to your everyday routines, and it’ll undoubtedly make your friends’ lives much more awesome – even if just for one day.

Partying in Miami is always a good idea

Miami offers so many options when it comes to throwing a bachelor party, which is exactly why you should opt for it if Bali is just too pricey for your current budget. Just make sure to go in-season, which is from November to April, since this period offers fantastic weather and unlimited options when it comes to outdoor activities. Delano is probably one of the best places to stay when in Miami, and you definitely won’t find a better pool in Miami Beach, since this hotel has it all. As for the night activities, you mustn’t miss E11Even Miami – one of the hottest places right now that features a nightclub, sports bar, rooftop restaurant, and even adult cabaret if you want to see some attractive strippers in action.

Australians like it hot

Australian men are stepping their game up when it comes to bachelor parties, and the fact is that you can never go wrong with Sydney since it has so much to offer in terms of great food, thrilling outdoor activities for the day, and exciting party experiences for the night. If your crew is up for a fabulous cruise, you should hire a yacht and sail around Sydney Harbour all day long. There are many agencies that offer such services, so make sure to pick one according to your budget. Australian guys have gone crazy about sexy yet classy Sydney Topless Waitresses lately, and they will undoubtedly offer an unforgettable experience to your best friend who’s soon to be married. The quality of their service is absolutely flawless, and you won’t make a mistake if your hire these ladies for this occasion.

Las Vegas as the ultimate partying spot

Some people claim that Las Vegas is for bachelors like Disneyland is for kids, and you know what? They are absolutely right! You should start your trip by renting a ridiculously extravagant (and expensive, yes) suite for your crew – when in Las Vegas, you can’t really be frugal. There are so called ‘men caves’ at the Palms Casino Resort which come with a basketball court, an entertainment screen, a locker room, and a scoreboard, which is everything you need – and more than that! If you’re up for a thrilling experience that will undoubtedly get your heart pumping much faster, you simply need to jump off a Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel Casino. On the other hand, if you’re really interested in getting a lap dance, you simply need to visit Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club – a wide range of stages, bars, and private boxes are totally worth the hype!
