Today I want to tell you about a discovery that has added so much value to my daily enjoyment in both book form, and as video entertainment. The discovery is that of “Mr. Selfridge”. One year ago I was experiencing Cunard’s Transatlantic Fashion Week on the Queen Mary 2, when ...

My first international trip was epic, indeed. Like a vintage lady from the past, I crossed the Atlantic on a grand Oceanliner instead of by airplane, and a few days after docking in Southampton, I visited London. In the months leading up to this adventure, I did a great deal ...
