Melissa Ceria
Co-founder of the fashion website Shareyourlook.com, Melissa Ceria has written about fashion, design, and travel for the New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Time, Elle Décor, and Travel + Leisure. Despite her coverage of the (often) waif-populated world of runways, she takes huge pleasure in fine cuisine. “Because I’m half French, I always know where to find the best croissants”, she says, “whether it’s in Berkeley or Bali.” Until recently, Melissa, along with her husband and two children, lived in San Francisco, where she discovered that Napa and Sonoma were just a drive away and served as the perfect escape from the Bay Area fog. She now lives in New York City.
Favorite Hotel: “On a trip to Indonesia I discovered my favorite hotel in the world: the Oberoi in Lombok, where the staff, thinking it was my wedding anniversary, showered the room with petals and delicious chocolates. My husband now has much to live up to.”
