I think jet lag has finally caught up with me so I’m taking the night off. Or maybe I’m exhausted because I walked (and shopped) all over the city today. I’m loving London overall but one of the highlights was being overwhelmed with options at Fortnum & Mason for gifts for myself and others. But […]
While everyone in the US is gearing up for Thanksgiving, Europe is in full Christmas mode. The decorations in Paris were particularly beautiful and I look forward to seeing more when I go back on Friday. Ladurée on rue Bonaparte above just finished their decorations.

I am begging them to offer an online subscription to their fabulous magazine because they always feature the the most amazing interiors. I immediately fell in love with the Lime […]
You know there is something wacky going on with the weather when it’s sunny and beautiful in England and cold and rainy in New York. Hamish Bowles has even provided photographic proof on his Vogue/Style.com blog, The Hamishphere.
