Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl looks positively city chic at the opening of the American Eagle Outfitters flagship store in New York.

We all know that jeans are the great fashion equalizer, but sometimes dressing them up can get a bit tricky.

Look no further for some gift ideas that brim with Paris chic. Richard Nahem who designs custom walking tours of Paris helps a reader receive the perfect gift from Paris!

Question: I have a fairly wealthy male friend who lives in Paris and Deauville, as well as Andorra. He is coming to visit in three weeks and wants to know what I want him to bring me from France.

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Venice Window Shopping

Or, how I spent my summer vacation, Part Uno:

The family and I (pooch included) were lollygagging about in Venice for a bit. In true Italian style– as I know it– everything is beautiful but doesn’t necessarily work as expected.

The loft apartment we rented was amazing: Brand new renovation in an Old Venice building with a fab rooftop deck and view, super clean and modern Italian style with attention to every detail, except completion.

Wow, that sounds like our construction projects sans the view!
