When a couple laughs as much as these two do, it makes waking up at 5am well worth the effort - also that gorgeous sunrise light on the Charles Bridge.

Prague Summer Fashion

Style is timeless. It transcends generations - it's enduring. If you're thinking about fashion, it's of the moment. And that doesn't mean that it's not important at times to embrace trends and that type of thing, but style is less about trends than it is about how you carry yourself.

- John Varvatos

Summer on the Vltava

Summertime in Prague, when the sun is shining and the city is crowded with visitors from all over the world, is a great time to escape to a special place right in the heart of town: the sinuous, sparkling Vltava River.

One night in München and the world's your oyster

Nothing is certain in London but expense

Visiting London is always a bitter sweet ordeal. I've been visiting the city since I was 9 years old, moved there right after college, and have always felt at home amongst the windy streets and off-green river - so, going over for just a few days fills me with dread.
