The land of milk and honey

Stay: Mamilla Hotel, Jerusalem.
Looking out over Jerusalem’s Old City walls, and alongside the new shopping and entertainment experience, the Alrov Mamilla Avenue that stretches straight into the Old City's Jaffa Gate, is a distinctive modern masterpiece. The Mamilla Hotel, developed and operated by Alrov Luxury Hotels, in collaboration with world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie and the designer Piero Lissoni, ignites a fresh contemporary vibe felt throughout the ancient city.

London has got a new bag..and Its a Waldorf Astoria

With London being one of the most exciting tourist destinations in the world  its good to see finally a new Hotel within the city Limits that isn't a generic chain of nothing-ness

So to my delight and excitement the London Syon Park opened this week with the Waldorf Astoria team operating at the Helm. My expectations are high an I'am hoping this venue will not disappoint me.

Official Photos to be Posted soon.

"Who needs Prozac when you've got decor?"

says Simon Doonan, creative ambassador of Barneys New York, about the apartment he shares with Jonathan Adler.
"Our apartment, with its white floors, ceramic abundance, vintage eclectica and pops of colour, carries on the flamboyant Adler tradition. As Jonny has often stated, his goal is to make our home -and every home - a gorgeous, life-enhancing antidepressant."

And it is, in fact, all that:

First stop in Paris...

...is La Bague de Kenza, a luxurious Algerian pastry shop on rue Saint-Maur. My best friend introduced dragged me there a year ago on my birthday, in fact i think this was the best version of a birthday cake ever!
