The London Lounge

Can someone recommend a good hair stylist in London? I have side-parted hair, short on sides and back, I want something I can carry to work but a nicer, sharper cut, better shape, etc. I went to Vidal Sassoon (the men barbershop) but was dissapointed. Happy to pay up to 100 pounds incl tip. Thanks i...

thanks very much for the comments
i'm a bit too shy to post photos of myself wearing them, but hopefully it is still possible to appreciate the fine construction of these shirts

I saw this store. The shirts were not inexpensive. I think they had labels that read "Made In India". I am a bit lost here...

Wonderfull pics Sloaney! The colloseum looks very beautifull and romantic. I asked my guide how many people (gladiators, prisoners of war, etc) died in the Colloseum. He responded that one scholar compared the figure to the Holocaust, given how long the ampitheatre was in use. Not so romantic, eh :)

Is corduroy legal for summer?

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I did manage to visit Battistoni, Rubinacci and Pellicano. Have a look at the new report I just posted on a separate thread!

I returned to Rome again this weekend, and had a wonderful time all over again. I hope you enjoy the brief report (lots of incorrect spelling and grammar - I'm posting in a hurry) and photos that follow. St Regis Grand. I never stopped marvelling at the magnificence of this hotel. This weekend, a la...

Hi, I just joined as a new member! What follows is a trip report and some photos of my weekend trip in Rome on Jan 27. You'll need to excuse my enthusiasm; this is my first visit to Rome, and I am a bit overwhelmed by the whole experience.... :) Mimmo Siviglia My first destination after I arrived in...
