New Product Alert! Bespoke Dog Accessories Collection
Best known for his quality leather duffles and briefcases, Britain-based Bill Amberg expanded his business to include our furry friends, launching a new Bespoke dog accessories collection in London on Tuesday.

Fab Field Day: Vintage Fashion Fair
Trying to find the perfect additions to your wardrobe doesn't have to start and end on the High Street.

Topman's flagship store on Oxford Street is under going a makeover at the moment with the new store being unveiled on Thursday in time for London Fashion Week. The brother of Topshop has long been a key shopping spot for stylish men, but it will soon offer even more with a Rough Trade DJ booth, personal stylists, EAT cafe, Wi-Fi access and Sharps barber. This got me thinking, do you ever stray in to the mens department and find things for yourself?

10 Design Ideas to Steal From London's Haymarket Hotel
Although I don't have any sojourns to London in my foreseeable future, I can't get the Haymarket Hotel out of my mind. At around $400 for the smallest room, a stay there is probably out of the question, too. Never say never though, right?
Home Away From Home: London's Haymarket Hotel
I have died and gone to hospitality heaven. London's Haymarket Hotel, designed by Kit Kemp, is a stunning example of the sort of marriage between contemporary and traditional design I have been searching for. In this case, it's classic English style that gets a modern lift, as traditional furniture shapes, including many antiques, are updated with bold patterns, playful scale, and thoughtful palettes.
