Disclosure Policy

I've never posted a site-wide disclosure policy on this blog before.

Because I feel the need to be up front with my readers when I make a post for pay, I try to put a "disclaimer" at the bottom of each sponsored post telling you that the post has been compensated for. I am now going to make a site-wide statement that I Disclose:

This policy is valid from 14 October 2007 and forevermore.


This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. I do receive compensation for some posts. I will choose what to say about such places to visit. These posts will not provide a conflict of interest for me.

Loveless

I've never been to Loveless .

This is the gotta see shopping experience in Tokyo. This boutique boasts a dual personality. When you enter Loveless you will see the Brilliant Side which is light and playful. This Brilliant Side occupies the ground and upper floors. You will find large mirrors and chandeliers festooned with glass fruit. As you progress toward the stairs and the Dark Side, you will enter a stairwell, tunnel and basement. This resembles a catacomb dripping with a rusty substance. This cryptic floor is decorated with candelabras and is painted with a slick ebony paint.

The Jungle Store

I've never been to The Jungle Store before today.

This is a great online store by Gund. Of course you will be able to find a wonderful of assortment of the stuffed animals that Gund is famous for. But what I did not know was the array of animal jewelry that can be purchase here. Simply click on which animal you love most to see the selection of jewelery you can get. From alligator to wolf, from hummingbird to shark, they have something for everyone.

Viktor and Rolf

I've never been to Viktor and Rolf .

This topsy-turvy boutique will leave you feeling as if you've walked into a fun house. These famous Dutch designers will turn your world upside down. Literally. Walk into their boutique and look up to see everything that should be on the floor. You will find parquet floors, chairs and fireplace, even a TV broadcasting Viktor and Rolf fashion shows-upside down. And be wary as you walk across the "ceiling" which is now the floor. It is complete with an elaborate chandelier.

That I'd like to see.

Lairesse Apotheek

I've never been to Lairesse Apotheek .

This is one pharmacy that I will not wait to get sick to visit. You will find this unique pharmacy in Amsterdam's museum quarter in an old bank boasting a one of a kind architecture. Dutch architectures Concrete have made this pharmacy the place to go, even if you are well. Here you will find the shelves glowing green, while the floor is printed with photos of Ginkgo leaves. The outward facing drawers contain the over the counter products, while the inward facing drawers house the prescription medications, accessible only by the pharmacists. Perhaps the most stunning visual, enhancing the surreal effect given by the building, is the tree that appears to be growing from the floor into the ceiling, passing through the curved cement counter.

United Kingdom Holiday

I've never been on a United Kingdom holiday.

I always watch the PBS travel shows on Europe. My daughter said last week how very cool it would be to get to go see all those things. I agree. I would love to be able to take a United Kingdom holiday. Traveling all over, taking in the sights, the history, the way of life.

In London one can see the magnificent buildings of Greenwich. Head to the Old Royal Observatory to see the original home of Greenwich Mean Time. Visit Kew Gardens, see chic Notting Hill, the Thames River, Buckingham Palace, London Tower, and don't forget The West End.

Edinburgh is home to both the historic, medieval Old Town and the neo-classical Georgian Town. Walk the Royal Mile in the footsteps of Queen Mary and Robert Louis Stevenson. Edinburgh Castle is a dominant feature, and don't miss seeing the crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Modern, not-to-be-missed activities include museums, art galleries and festivals, the Whiskey Experience and ghost tours.

Glasgow boasts an energy all its own. It is filled with year round activities and festivals. There are plenty of museums, art galleries, performing arts and festivals. Each year brings the International Jazz Festival and the Celtic Connections winter Celtic celebration.

It looks like I need to start making arrangements for London Hotels , Edinburgh Hotels , and Glasgow Hotels .
