On The Road: Richard Nahem comes across a marvelous Paris shop full of gorgeous French designer goodies.

They say the teacher learns from their students. In my case, it’s the Paris tour guide who learns from their clients. Over the years, my clients have shared many things I haven’t had prior knowledge of including: restaurants, historic facts, shopping, hotels, and other insider tidbits. Many have been

When In Rome: Flea Market With Vintage Gucci, Fendi, Valentino, Chanel and more

It’s big designer names, names, names made even more enticing under the flea market tarp!

The city of Rome is truly a living architectural museum, but where do all the old fashion relics go?

A good chunk can be found on the right Sunday at the Borghetto Flaminio market.

While Porta Portese is the more widely known flea market in Rome, for me, it’s  a crowded and huge mass of junky new

When In Rome- Cinecittà Shows Off Classic Italian Cinema At Its Best

 I’ve always been fascinated by classic Italian cinema and the genius of Federico Fellini.
