Another New York Fashion Week has come and gone and like seasonal clockwork, the street style pack has made an impression. It must be said, as much as we love the runways, there is some real drama being thrown down outside the shows. We ogled and side-eyed and scratched our heads as the attendees strutted their stuff.

Each city’s fashion week, from New York to Paris, maintains its own discernible flavour. London is undeniably quirky, whereas Milan’s streets exude Italian luxury and sharp tailoring and Paris offers a touch of whimsy with a chic sensibility. In New York however, the street styles can be all over the place. From majorly fun furs, to loud statement accessories, to superhero inspired looks, it’s safe to say New York Fashion Week-goers demand to be seen and snapped.

Editors offered their best Ali MacGraw impressions, while a few thought it was spring and donned some leg-baring, hypothermia-inviting looks. Browse the gallery below to check out the fun trends we spotted on the streets of New York’s Fall 2015 edition.

SEE THE STANDOUTS FROM LONDON FASHION WEEK→5 Images

Hot on the heels of a dizzying week in New York, fashion’s followers fled the deep freeze and jetted across the pond for London’s turn in the style spotlight. Aside from trying to spot a pregnant Kate Middleton (who has, thus far, avoided the fashion fray) and most of Hollywood, who were undoubtedly prepping for the Oscars’ red carpet, a whole host of top models have turned up, including Sophie Dahl atTemperley, Stella Tenant at Pringle of Scotland and duo du jour Cara Delevigne and Kendall Jenner at Sunday’s Topshop Unique show. The city’s star designers proved their prowess over a jam packed weekend, which included J.W. Anderson‘s unabashed ode to the ‘80s, Pringle of Scotland’s 200th anniversary celebration, Sophia Webster‘s otherworldly accessories presentation and Mary Katrantzou‘s plastic fantastic embellishments.

In honour of last night’s awards, we distilled London Fashion Week’s Fall 2015 offerings down to the top 5 looks worth scrimping and saving for. After all, it’s never too early to start planning next season’s shopping list.

Beyond the Grand Canyon: 5 Must-Visit Places in Arizona

censored HD                   




Outdoor adventurers have long been drawn to Arizona, and a big reason for that is, of course, theGrand Canyon. This natural wonder is (understandably) on every traveler's bucket list, and yes, finally seeing just how vast and beautiful it is will take your breath away. But trust us when we say there's so much more to the state. Its dazzling diversity is evident both in the landscapes and the culture: In the south, deserts are sprinkled with looming Saguaro cacti that flourish in the dry heat, while further north, towering Ponderosa pines and snow-covered mountain peaks beckon hikers and skiers alike. Wild West towns, American Indian reservations, and former stops on the historic Route 66 add to the charm. Here are five Arizona adventures you can't miss.
SEDONA



If you’re looking for awe-inspiring natural beauty, there’s no better place than the town of Sedona, which has built its must-see reputation on the surrounding red rock buttes and the mystical relaxation they seem to inspire. Take a hike through Red Rock State Park or Slide Rock State Park(the latter also features a natural water slide that kids and adults alike will love), both of which offer trails and programs that highlight the area’s geology, vegetation, and wildlife. For the less active but just as adventurous, jeep tours take you up close to the rock formations on an off-road trek.

Sedona is also known as one of the world’s most sacred healing spots (you’ll notice many shops in town touting alternative medicine via crystals and meditation), so visitors will find plenty of ways to relax and rejuvenate both outdoors and at the many luxury hotels and spas. Amara Resort Hotel and Spa offers free morning yoga classes and an infinity pool overlooking the rocks, whileL’Auberge de Sedona exudes romance with its luxurious cabins with panoramic views of the rocks and creekside spa treatments.

Insider Tip: Be sure to schedule in time to see the sunset or sunrise here, both of which light up the rocks spectacularly and make it clear why Sedona has often been called the most beautiful place in the world.
THE WILD WEST



Before Arizona became a state in 1912, it was known as a Wild West frontier, where the likes of legends Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday earned their outlaw reputations. In the south, the old mining town of Tombstone still stands as the most popular example of this rough-and-tumble history, and the “Town Too Tough to Die” still draws visitors with its recreation of the famous shoot-out at theO.K. Corral and the notorious Bird Cage Theater.

Farther north, Prescott and its Whiskey Row offer plenty of saloons that transport you right back to the Wild West heyday (The Palace is the oldest and most authentic). Finally, once known as the “wickedest town in the west”, Jerome now proudly owns its ghost town status. Perched over theVerde Valley, visitors come for the beautiful views, Wild West recreations (and ghost tours), and the artists who helped create a community of studios, shops, and galleries among the small 500 plus population.
VERDE VALLEY



Arizona is officially known as the Grand Canyon State, but don't ignore its other nickname: the Copper State, a designation partially due to central Arizona's Verde Valley and its mineral riches. The valley formerly held several copper mines that helped lure settlers to the area and allowed the surrounding towns to develop. Jerome and Clarkdale are both must-stops on this route. Clarkdale is also home to Arizona’s newest museum, the privately run Arizona Copper Art Museum, which showcases the scientific, historical, and artistic importance of the mineral. Be sure to take a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad, which takes you into Arizona’s “other grand canyon” and through gorgeous scenery you can't get to by car.
FLAGSTAFF



Nestled under the shadow of the San Francisco Peaks, this laid-back city is part mountain retreat and part college town, resulting in the ultimate Southwest experience for anyone looking for outdoor adventures and hip restaurants, bars, and shops. During the summer, Flagstaff is a welcome respite from the triple digit temperatures that hit the rest of the state, and visitors take advantage of this with plenty of hiking, biking, and rock climbing activities, as well as more than fifty-five miles of urban trails and dozens of city parks. In the winter, visitors head to the Arizona Snowbowl for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter fun. Local eateries and breweries like Proper Meats + Provisionsand Mother Road Brewing Company make sure you don’t go hungry (or thirsty), and as a stop on the former Route 66, Flagstaff also indulges those looking for good ole Americana nostalgia.

Insider Tip: Get up close and personal with some Ponderosa pines at the Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course located within Fort Tuthill County Park, a self-guided adventure course complete with obstacles, zip lines, and plenty of tree climbing.
NAVAJO NATION



Long before the gunslingers and mountain climbers came to Arizona, American Indian tribes settled the land, and today twenty-two distinct tribes still call the state home. There are several museums dedicated to their cultures and customs, as well as monuments that serve as historical testaments to their contributions, including the Wupatki National Monument, Canyon de Chelly, and Monument Valley.

ストリーミング JAV
The largest area is known as Navajo Nation (divided into East and West), which spans the northeast quarter of the state. Note that each reservation is considered its own government and has its own unique, and often strict, visiting hours and rules; many sacred places are off-limits to non-American Indians. Just outside the confines of Navajo Nation is the small trading post of Cameron, which was originally created as a spot for settlers to trade with American Indians and today has a restaurant and hotel and is considered the best place to find authentic Indian products and crafts.

Long Weekend in South Lake Tahoe

jav censored download       





South Lake Tahoe is a city with two faces. Technically, it’s a California leisure destination with stunning natural scenery and year-round outdoor recreation, but it also shares a border withStateline, Nevada, home to casinos and nightclubs, qualifying as distinctly indoor recreation. The good news is that a long weekend here brings the best of both worlds, making a mini-holiday feel ample. Even better, Tahoe is now an easy-access playground for East Coast travelers, thanks toJetBlue’s new nonstop flights between New York’s JFK and Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
FRIDAY



Travelers coming from Reno will arrive in South Lake Tahoe in about an hour, with the easy option of hopping aboard a South Tahoe Express shuttle ($53 round trip) from the airport. Plan to arrive Thursday and arise Friday morning to the dappled sunlight beaming through the pines.

As a busy tourist town, there are plenty of lodging choices. Size won’t matter as much as a decent rate, location, and experience, so for a pleasant stay on a personalized scale, try the Black Bear Inn Bed and Breakfast. There you’ll wake to a gourmet, homemade breakfast to get your day going.

In warmer seasons, South Lake Tahoe is a dreamy biking spot, and a long ride makes a great first-day adventure. Stop by centrally located Sierra Ski and Cycle Works on the main drag, Lake Tahoe Boulevard, to rent a cruiser. (As you may guess, you can pick up rental ski gear here and at a number of other shops around town, like the friendly Powder House Ski & Snowboard.) The knowledgeable staff will help plot your course on a bike-trail map and point you where you want to go.



Camp Richardson is about six miles west, and you can ride along the city’s paved bike trails and quiet neighborhood side streets to get there. The “camp” is more like a year-round wonderland of recreation, with a full-service marina and beachside dining, as well as cross-country skiing trails in the winter. Bring your swimsuit to take full advantage of the paddleboards, kayaks, pedal boats, waverunners, motorboats, and more for rent from Memorial Day through mid-October.
jav uncensored squirting
Cap off an active day with a bite at the camp’s Beacon Bar & Grill or make time for a detour on the ride home at the Burger Lounge—a cute roadside joint serving juicy burgers and fried delights (even zucchini and mushrooms).



Once back in the city center, decompress with a signature cocktail at Riva Grill, where you can gaze past Ski Run Marina to the lake and snow-capped mountains beyond.
SATURDAY


Kick off Saturday with a classic breakfast at Red Hut Café, a favorite local chain of diners. With breakfast served all day since 1959, the central Lake Tahoe–Ski Run Boulevard outpost, with its bona fide soda fountain, has been the daytime pit stop for lunch and treats.

From there, stroll to Heavenly Village, South Lake Tahoe’s central shopping and entertainment hub. Pick up anything from souvenir bear figurines to hoodies to assorted sporting goods. Catch a movie or get in a round of mini golf at the outdoor pavilion (or ice skate in the winter). Scenic gondola rides 2.4 miles up Heavenly Mountain are available on weekends, with awesome views from the 9,123-foot-high observation deck. In the winter, Heavenly Ski Resort becomes one of the most popular parks in the area, and next year a new zip line will be the newest addition to the adventure-ride roster.

With Stateline, Nevada, just blocks away, cross the border and settle into some relaxation with a spa treatment at MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa. At the luxurious Onsen Salon & Spa you can indulge in an array of massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, or even a new ‘do.

In the spirit of an easy Saturday, go directly from the spa to Harvey’s Lake Tahoe across the boulevard and head to 19 Kitchen & Bar. From your nineteenth-floor perch, you’ll find the ultimate Tahoe lounge for well-made martinis with a view. Fine dining here leans toward the refined and indulgent, including excellent surf-and-turf choices like lobster tail, rib eye, and rack of lamb.
SUNDAY



Wrapping up a short, sweet getaway means hitting all the elements that make you feel you really dida place. In Tahoe, it’s all about the lake. One lovely option is to drive around the southern shore for sightseeing and hiking at Emerald Bay State Park, home to one of the most picturesque vistas in all of California. In fact, back in 1862 Mark Twain was so awestruck by Lake Tahoe’s crystal-blue waters that he declared, “It must surely be the fairest picture the whole world affords.”



Another option is to climb aboard a Zephyr Cove sightseeing or sunset dinner cruise. The Tahoe Queen and M.S. Dixie II paddle wheelers set off for 2.5-hour tours to Emerald Bay several times daily throughout the summer, conveniently making shuttle pickups from downtown.



But perhaps the best and most historic attraction in these parts is Thunderbird Lodge. Built by millionaire playboy “Captain” George Whittell Jr. in 1936, this lakeside mansion is among the last fully preserved residential estates in the region. Along with its fascinating history are tales of Whittell’s wild eccentricities, including his pet lion and elephant, a dungeon with a secret tunnel, and his gorgeous mahogany and stainless-steel yacht outfitted with twin V-12 Allison airplane engines—for that little extra oomph. The lodge is a short drive north from South Lake Tahoe and is open for tours daily, as well as Friday-afternoon wine tastings through September.

As night falls over Lake Tahoe, head to the Blue Angel Café for an equally delicious and low-key farewell dinner. The restaurant has mastered a menu of comfort and flavor that works in any season, from beef-and-ale stew to steamed mussels to one of the best kale salads. (How do they get those cauliflower croutons so perfectly roasted?) They’ll even prepare fresh-caught fish for those who spent the day angling.
WHERE TO STAY


無修正女優
Cruise right past Lake Tahoe Boulevard’s big resorts to something far more authentic at the Black Bear Inn Bed and Breakfast. Owners Kevin Chandler and Jerry Birdwell share their master hospitality on this lush, landscaped property. With five rooms in the main lodge and three spacious cabins out back, it’s a home away from home, complete with shady patios, homemade breakfasts, and early evening wine hours. It’s a quintessentially Californian retreat that rounds out a leisurely long weekend at the lake.

Exploring Savannah, the South's Capital of Cool

jav censored




If words like "genteel" and "refined" are the first few that come to mind when thinking about Savannah, you're a little behind the times. In the past few years, this southern city has upped its game, opening a string of eateries and lodgings that have transformed it into the region's new hot spot.

Longtime favorites like The Olde Pink House are still on the scene, drawing crowds to their elegant dining rooms by serving up faithful versions of classics like she-crab soup or shrimp and grits. But the latest additions to the dining scene are taking the same ingredients and combining them in interesting ways.

Take a new place like The Florence, located in a surprisingly open and airy space that once served as an icehouse. The rough walls and towering arched windows preserve the industrial feel, as does a crudely scrawled warning (in red paint, no less) of high voltage. Conversation echoes from the beamed ceiling, giving the place a convivial feel. Celebrity chef Hugh Acheson, a staple of TV’s Top Chef, opened the restaurant, but 28-year-old Kyle Jacovino ably handles the day-to-day cooking. With his Italian background, he is a whiz with Italian recipes that incorporate southern ingredients. The black bucatini, for example, is dotted with shrimp and clams. The duck breast is matched with Sea Island red peas, and the pork ribs are splashed with a cider glaze and accompanied by spiced pecans.

(Our one quibble with the service was being sat half an hour late, despite a reconfirmed reservation and an empty table nearby, but our server more than made up for that by bringing us a complimentary glass of Aperol, an Italian aperitif that's a bit like Campari but with more of a kick.)



On one of the Historic District's busiest streets, the front door of a.lure seems to always be swinging open, welcoming patrons who squeeze in at the small but well-stocked bar or get escorted to the closely spaced tables in one of the two modern dining rooms. The friendly chatter sometimes rises to such high decibel levels that you'll have to shout so your server can hear your order. Seafood has pride of place on the menu, so you're definitely going to find traditional dishes like the Lowcountry boil—only here you'll find it served with sweet-corn flan instead of the usual corn on the cob. A swath of Old Bay Hollandaise is just right for dipping the locally caught shrimp. Other standouts included the Thai-style red snapper, served whole and fried golden brown, although we were glad we asked for the too-sweet pineapple curry sauce to be served on the side. The excellent house-made potato chips were devoured in minutes, but once again we wished the blue-cheese fondue had been on the side rather than plopped on top.

jav sod create


Our favorite find—so much so that we went back the next day—was The The Funky Brunch Café. Tables in the colorful dining room include griddles you can use to flip your own pancakes, adding your choice of toppings from chocolate chips to peanut butter. (If you're feeling listless, the kitchen is also happy to do the work.) The rest of the menu is simple but surprisingly tasty, ranging from The Traitor (poached eggs and Canadian bacon on an English muffin or, even better, a freshly baked biscuit) to the Black n Bleu Sea Grits (the usual shrimp and grits amped up with chunks of lobster, crumbled blue cheese, and a generous helping of bacon). Bacon also makes an appearance as a garnish in the house specialty drink, the Bloody Mary. It sounds wrong, but it's oh so right, adding a smidge of sweetness to the spicy concoction.



We didn't get to try Pacci, a refined Italian deli, except to sample a few of its very tasty appetizers during the afternoon wine hour at The Brice. This new addition to the town's lodging options is easily its most sophisticated. You know this as soon as you walk into the lobby, where the usual nod to days gone by has been replaced with a playful vibe. The laid-back atmosphere extends to two interior courtyards: the first with low-slung couches placed under massive umbrellas to shield you from the noonday sun and the other with lounge beds carefully arranged around a swimming pool (something of a rarity in the Historic District).
jav abuse
The 145 guestrooms blend on-trend color schemes of slate gray and moss green, along with bursts of bright red in the artwork. The living room in our suite was big enough for entertaining friends (or even having them stay over on the carefully concealed sleeper sofa). The bathroom was on the small side, and getting there required squeezing past one of the queen-sized beds. Despite being on one of the main drags, the room was perfectly quiet at night, thanks to thick walls (the building was once a Coca-Cola bottling plant) and double-paned windows. This was a big plus because even when you're in search of what's hip and happening, you want the party to end as soon as you close your door.

Ultimate Guide to Louisville's Hip Neighborhoods

jav streaming

The city of Louisville, Kentucky—one of the destinations featured on Fodor's Go List 2015—is quickly gaining a new reputation with travelers from all over the world. Known best for the Kentucky Derby and its production of bourbon, this city is now surprising visitors with its unexpectedly hip scene. From fantastic culinary options to unique shopping and attractions, the city is broken down into various small neighborhoods, each with its own appeal. Here are six neighborhoods you need to visit on your next trip to Louisville.
NULU



The East Market District has been dubbed "NuLu" (or new Louisville) because of its major rebirth in recent years. The neighborhood is a mix of art galleries, boutiques, specialty stores, and farm-to-table-focused restaurants. Bermuda Highway is a boutique and record shop owned by Katie Toupin, a member of local band, Houndmouth. The Flea Off Market (1007 East Jefferson Street, 502-552-0061) isn’t your typical flea market, as it featurees a beer garden and food trucks. Why Louisville is a one-of-a-kind experience souvenir shop that can’t be missed and even has a wax figure of Colonel Sanders. NuLu is also home to some great places to eat and play. Garage Bar has a big indoor and outdoor space with Ping-Pong tables that glow in the dark for nighttime fun. Experience the wonderful and surprising combination of locally sourced ingredients and Mayan cuisine from chef Bruce Ucán at Mayan Café. Take farm-to-table dining to the next level at Harvest, where you just might be able to chat with farmer-owner Ivor Chodkowski about how the ingredients on your plate were on his farm that morning. At Decca, not only can you enjoy inspired food from chef Annie Pettry, but also you can see local artwork, enjoy a cocktail on the patio, and listen to live music in the Cellar Lounge.
BUTCHERTOWN



One of Louisville’s oldest neighborhoods, Butchertown is experiencing a renaissance of late with new distilleries, dance clubs, trendy restaurants, and Bourbon Country’s only brandy distillery,Copper & Kings. Take a tour of the distillery and then enjoy a sampling of their spirits in the rooftop tasting room, which boasts gorgeous views of downtown Louisville. Nearby Vernon Lanes is one of the oldest operating bowling alleys in the country. It’s also a live music venue and a bourbon bar that is a part of the Urban Bourbon Trail. Everyone is welcome at Play Dance Bar, the newest bar in the neighborhood. It caters to the LGBT community, and it is the place to be for drag shows and dance parties. Butchertown Market offers an interesting collection of small business owners, and it can easily occupy your afternoon with shopping and sampling. Don't miss Cellar Door Chocolates, which is famous for their bourbon balls. Moss Hill makes handcrafted lotions, soaps, and candles with specialty scents such as mint julep. Bourbon Barrel Foods sends products over from its adjacent factory, including bourbon-barrel-smoked spices and small-batch soy sauce aged in bourbon barrels. Locally crafted artwork and jewelry can be found at Work the Metal, along with clothing, handbags, and home décor. Coming in fall 2015 to Butchertown is chef Bobby Benjamin’s highly anticipated new restaurant and market, Butchertown Grocery (1076 E. Washington Street, no phone yet), which is described as a restaurant, bar, and social club.
HIGHLANDS



This area is as eclectic as it is charming. Here you’ll find Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century architecture along quiet streets, as well as vintage clothing shops, antique stores, tattoo parlors, and a bounty of bars and restaurants. The Highlands has been a foodie haven in Louisville for decades.Jack Fry’s and Lilly’s Bistro, long-time staples on the scene, are favorites for locals celebrating special occasions. You can also spy celebrity chef Anthony Lamas at his Latin restaurant, Seviche. If you’re in the mood for a more casual evening, this neighborhood is teeming with great pizza joints and pubs, not to mention the abundance of local breweries and beer bars. Great Flood Brewing Company and Cumberland Brewery (1576 Bardstown Road, 502-458-8727) both offer their own brews. The Holy Grale is the perfect place to find rare beers from around the world, and it has one of the best outdoor dining venues in town. The Highlands is a go-to neighborhood for nightlife: Bars close at 4 a.m. and there's a wide variety of options including karaoke bars, music venues, hole-in-the-wall bars, dance clubs and even El Camino, Louisville’s own tiki bar.
CLIFTON
jav e body



Named for its hilly location on the Ohio River valley escarpment, Clifton has tree-lined cobblestone streets, plenty of sidewalks, and lots of restaurants and niche shops. The main street through Clifton is Frankfort Avenue, and it makes for a great starting point to find places to eat and drink. With claims of being one of the best whiskey bars in the country, The Silver Dollar is worthy of a drink or two. Elsewhere, Apocalypse Brew Works has quickly become a part of Louisville’s craft beer scene and brewing tradition. It focuses on creating small-batch fresh craft beer with an emphasis on sustainability. For eats, Basa serves modern Vietnamese, El Mundo is a tiny Mexican restaurant, and Bistro 1860 features French-American fusion cuisine. Shopping in Clifton is as diverse as its cuisine scene. Guestroom Records is your rarely seen old-and-new record shop, andElizabeth’s Timeless Attire sells strictly vintage clothing from 1860–1970.
OLD LOUISVILLE



The largest Victorian preservation neighborhood in the U.S. sits just south of downtown Louisville. It’s also supposedly America’s most haunted neighborhood, and the nightly Old Louisville Haunted Tours have been awarded for being among the best of their kind. Old Louisville also has its very own Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same man responsible for Central Park in New York City. The park is home to Kentucky Shakespeare, free Shakespeare performances that take place in the summer. The neighborhood also hosts the St. James Court Art Show, an annual juried arts and crafts fair that showcases 750 artists from North America on the first weekend in October, as well as the Garvin Gate Blues Festival, where many of the top names in blues music have performed in the free, annual two-day festival held the second weekend in October. But for the best dining in Old Louisville, make a reservation ahead of time at 610 Magnolia, which only offers one seating of fifty guests per night.
SOUTH POINTS



Home to the iconic Churchill Downs (site of the annual Kentucky Derby), South Points is one of the less-central neighborhoods, but one that still has plenty to offer. South Points boasts Jefferson Memorial Forest, one of the nation’s largest urban forests at 6,500 acres, making it a great place to picnic, hike, camp, and canoe. The neighborhood has some dining worth driving to, as well. Grind Burger Kitchen became so wildly popular with its food truck that it opened a brick-and-mortar location in South Points, which locals claim might be the best burger in town. Vietnamese food is also popularhere: Two hot spots are Vietnam Kitchen and Annie’s Café. But for some meatier options, try Shack in the Back BBQ.
