Dinner in Milan
MILAN: The first thing to do when you arrive in Malpensa at night is to go straight to your favorite restaurant for a dinner with friends. I chose the Trattoria Masuelli, which has been in town since 1921. This old-school restaurant with white tablecloths, Thonet chairs and Gio Ponti chandeliers serves my most favorite dishes, like risotto made with Carnaroli rice and saffron from Italy’s Abruzzo...
Art & Sleep
LONDON: Just imagine sleeping in a lovely hotel room among your most favorite artworks. This is now possible at the Hyatt Regency - The Churchill in London in association with the Saatchi Gallery. Book your limited-edition Saatchi Gallery Suite from the 1st of February till the 30th of April for 840 GBP a night and have a close look around your room when you open your eyes in the morning.

The Gentlemen’s Shop
LONDON: London is the perfect town for men’s clothing. If you do not have an appointment with your tailor on Savile Road, have a look at a variety of new and unique menswear stores with a special atmosphere which also appeal to women. I am inspired by the presentation, the decor and of course the items for sale. Start with Hostem, on Redchurch Street; as I step through the doors, I feel an...
More Dots
LONDON: In evocative and ethereal style, the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama brings her unique vision to Tate Modern for a major and remarkable retrospective, in an exhibition that collects painting, sculpture, video and of course polka dots spanning her entire career. Until 5 June 2012
It Works
LONDON: This time I promised myself to be prepared against jetlag when I fly back home from New York to London. When flying east (say from New York to London) you should eat a handful of dried cherries (which have even greater levels of melatonin than fresh cherries) 30 minutes before trying to sleep. Once at your destination, you should eat a handful of cherries 30 minutes before going to bed...
Spring Chic
NEW YORK: I am almost on my way back to the airport but before leaving New York I have to take one last look at the windows of Bergdorf Goodman. In December, when I was in New York the last time, they showcased the ‘Carnival of the Animals’ which took the decoration department almost a year to prepare. No surprise that the limited edition, handmade book “Windows at Bergdorf Goodman” by Assouline...
Look at Me
NEW YORK CITY: Photographer Juergen Teller presents his recent work Ukraine, for his fourth exhibition at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Teller was commissioned, along with four other artists, by the PinchukArtCentre to interpret the Ukraine for the 52nd International Venice Biennale 2007, where a selection from this series was first shown. This exhibition marks the first time, an expanded version, along...

Super Linda
NEW YORK: I am going out tonight to eat at Tribeca’s sexy new ode to Latin America, Super Linda (West Broadway & Reade Street). Spices from Uruguay and steaks from Argentina, Mexican beer and a Jewish- Mexican hybrid taco featuring Pastrami. Matt Abramcyk’s new hot spot in town is the place for a dinner with friends before dancing at Le Baron or Boom Boom Room.
The Investment
PARIS: Walking down the Boulevards in Saint Germain I keep on thinking that the only fashion item I really enjoy buying and collecting is a good pair of unique shoes. They can make my day, let my feet feel good or bad, enhance my look, make me glamorous in one second and let me move like a feather.
My favorite shoes for the spring 2012 seasons are right here:
