This opened in 1819 and is still one of the best shopping experiences in London. Love this place.

I love me some arcade. This one especially!

This store is really coming into its own with a lot exciting lines like Biba and Mary Portas. Great displays, too.

Beautiful grounds and a famous statue of Peter Pan along one of the paths.

This looks super cool!

This place is breathtaking in person and a great way to cap off a visit to Kensington Palace. If I'm remembering correctly the prices are pretty much what they would be for tea anywhere else in the city.

We rode it at dusk and got to watch the city lights come on - great view

Amazing view!

its right amzing view

Absolutely lovely, non-intimidating art supply store with a little antiques section in the back. The atmosphere here is like something out of a Merchant-Ivory movie--I can't even draw and I spent a good hour here.

Great interior design store with lots of unique one-off products. Fabulous place for inspiration if you like English design.

Clothes

Best vintage store ever! I literally die for William and his team -- he even tailors ever piece to my specifications.

This is the perfect hotel to escape the hustle of Milan -- it is charming and cozy.

Kensington Gardens

Kensington Gardens - I sat near an old guy who was feeding birds. He was wearing a hat and they kept jumping out of the hedge behind him to sit on his head and that hat never moved an inch LOL

One of my favorite places in the city.

The gorgeousness of the stained glass ceiling is matched by the gorgeousness of the drinks. I've never had a martini in my life like the one I had here.

Wow! Amazing mother earth!

Great resort with a great spa! JR is right-- it's crucial to get a mountain view bungalow. There are lots of water activities (wind surfing, snorkeling, jet skiiing, SUP, etc) Very cool access to the pacific ocean too.

we stayed here. It was nice... really nice. It's more family-oriented than the St Regis (which is down the beach a few miles, which is where they filmed the movie Couples Retreat btw). It's fairly new and nice. Here's the deal though... once you're on the resort, you're kind of trapped there. Wewe stayed here. It was nice... really nice.

Here's the deal though... once you're on the resort, you're kind of trapped there. We wanted to go see the St Regis, but we couldn't walk down the beach because they said it was private property with guard dogs on it. Also, they wouldn't give us ride over there. Water taxis would only go to the airport and the main town (water taxi was like $40/per person each way to town). I know this because we both got food poisoning the first night we where there (valentines day) and then the hotel doesn't keep even aspirin because of French laws, so bring your own over the counter meds. We had to muster the energy to water taxi into town to go to the pharmacy. When we got there, it was closed because it was a Sunday. So back to our beautiful over the water bungalow to sweat out the food poisoning.... good thing the bungalow was amazing. It's CRUCIAL to get a view of the mountain as far out on the pier as possible. I greased the front desk clerk $100 to make sure we could have a choice or room. She showed us the room we were assigned (which happened to be a great room anyway) so she came back and gave me the $100 back. We split the difference. pros: they had fun activities, but i'm sure all the resorts do. I SUP'd and windsurfed and we snorkeled with sharks and stingrays… see moresee less

My old hockey stomping grounds. Beautiful place to be in September-October.

Been here to many times. Always a nice place to take the kids for a picnic.

It's just an amazing portait

Dubai - travel airport layover

Buckingham Palace

Leaves you in awe!

Amazing to walk the rooms where the royals have/will.

Just like Zhongguancun

Tokyo, Japan.

most orderly and busy subway stop

You'll never believe what this store specializes in--door knobs! Oddly they also have a little section in the back that sells royal memorabilia. Never quite understood why, but I'm glad it's there.

One of my favorite places in town and even if you're not into shopping, it's well worth checking out. Occupied by a very, very select group of stores (the kind your great, great grandfather might have frequented), the arcade opened in 1830 and is an architectural stunner.

July 2012...

This is a stunner of a furniture store and a great place for inspiration. I always stop here when I'm in town.

I loved walking through the ruins of the acropolis - 1998.

It makes sense that the luxurious Plaza Athenee is home to the culinary genius of Chef Alain Ducasse. His food is just incredible!

Alain Ducasse. His food is incredible. We have eaten there twice. Had the langostine appetizer both times. Hope to return.
