Hello and happy summer, everyone!
I hope you're all soaking up the sunshine and easing into the new season. It’s shaping up to be a busy week on my end as June winds down and I start gearing up for everything July has in store.
Here’s what’s going on:
Media Opps
I’m currently working on Canada coverage through the end of the year, with a focus on hotel reviews and destination guides. I’d love to hear about any new or noteworthy luxury and/or luxury boutique properties. I’m also open to press trips in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Nova Scotia.
I’m writing a piece on luxury train travel. Reach out to me if you have a client that fits the bill.
In July, I’ll be in the Hamptons working on dining guides. If you have any restaurant clients in the area—especially new or notable openings—I’d love to hear about them! Feel free to send any details my way.
I’m working on summer beauty stories for a range of outlets. Ping me with any summer products and/or trends you’d like me to consider.
I’m working on a restaurant guide to Bar Harbor. Send over your best recs so I can check them out when I’m there!
As always, I’m pitching to Resy and would love to learn more about new, cool restaurants in New York City.
I’m spotlighting restaurants that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three—ping me with relevant clients!
I’m also covering luxury hotels that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three. If you have any fitting clients, let me know.
Press trips & media visits: I’m actively writing luxury travel stories and creating social content for a slew of travel publications, which means I’m open to press trips and/or media stays at luxury hotels.
LAST CALL: I’m working with a PR agency for an upcoming activation with Paramount for Clueless and Fitted (the digital closet), happening July 24 at LuisaViaRoma in SoHo. We’re looking for beauty brands interested in being highlighted at the event through free product placement. Let me know if you’re interested or would like more details!

A few things to note:
When reaching out about a pitch in this newsletter, please do not reply directly to this email—there’s a good chance it’ll get lost in my inbox. Instead, please send a separate email.
When pitching hotels, please make sure to always include a link to the hotel’s press images. This greatly helps if I’m able to write about the property.
Also, a quick heads-up: I’ll be moving this newsletter to paid subscribers in the next few weeks. On the paid side, I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates—like who I’m writing for, what I’m reviewing, and what’s coming up. Stay tuned for more details soon!
In the Loop
I’m in Montana this week for a family reunion! I’ll still be working remotely but won’t be back in New York until the end of the month. If you need anything in the meantime, feel free to reach out via email at laurennharano@gmail.com.
Have a great week, and thank you for the support!
