Daslu


Book your Brazilian at J Sisters and reserve your business-class seat soon; the fashion flock is about to get one more reason to head to São Paulo. The legendary Daslu boutique is opening a second flagship on May 29 in the Cidade Jardim mall, an upscale collection of stores in the city's Morumbi neighborhood. The original Villa Daslu became famous for high-flying clientele arriving via helicopter, free-flowing Champagne, a women-only policy in most of the shop, and, of course, a flock of salesgirls culled from the city's social classes.

Nuits de Satin


Nuits de Satin's Ghislaine Rayer and Patrice Gaulupeau has one of the largest collections of antique lingerie in the world. After many years of selling their never-worn finds at the Paris flea market (their clients included Dita Von Teese, Alexander McQueen, the infamous corset-maker Mr. Pearl), the partners decided to replenish their dwindling stock with their own collection.

New Gucci Fragrance


Blame it on the hippie-chick tunics, the fringe boots, the rocker pants: I am Gucci-smitten, and my love extends to everything in the empire. Take Gucci by Gucci Eau de Toilette, an enchanting new scent that mixes notes of Tahitian Tiare flower and Spider Lilly with a creamy base of musk and honey.

Doggie Style - Los Angeles


I have never fallen more in love with doggies as I have in Los Angeles. Walking along Rodeo Drive, on hip Melrose Avenue or along the beaches in Malibu, the one consistent factor is that Angelenos love their dogs.
I have never seen such amazing shops that cater for your four legged friend than in Los Angeles. However, my favorite has to be Doggie Styles in Beverly Hills. It's a glamorous place Beverly Hills, so your doggie has to look the part!
