I have a penchant for visiting museums in private homes -- you really get a glimpse into the life of the owner. On my most recent trip to London, I had the opportunity to explore three different homes. Have you been to any of them? Do any pique your interest? Do tell!

I recently spent two weeks in Paris, although I was sadly ill for most of it. So instead of my typical journal article with lots of writing, I decided to do a pictorial post instead. It was tough to narrow it down to only 18 images! And for you subscribers, get excited, as I'm adding ELEVEN new stores to my shopping guide. You're in for a treat!
