![]() Tokyo's Most Stylish Siblings Ikué and Miyuki Uramuné share their favorite spots to pick up fresh baguettes, offbeat sake cocktails, and the best design books. “For most young women in Tokyo, kimonos are reserved for tea ceremonies or watching Kabuki theater,” says Ikué Uramuné, who, along with her twin sister, Miyuki, launched a limited collection of kimono-inspired dresses and jumpsuits. The pieces, cut from chirimen silk and hand-embroidered, nod to the traditional robes but look modern and spot-on for a night out. When the sisters aren’t hard at work (their online shop debuts this month), you’ll likely find the pair in the city’s most globally influenced neighborhoods—eating and shopping in artsy Daikanyama or kicking off the night sipping sake cocktails in cobblestone-lined Azabu-Juban. Here, their hit list.

What you do this Summer but why not travel in September? Some regard September as the most pleasant month to visit Provence. The majority of tourists, both foreign & French, have gone home, the school holidays have ended, the weather is still glorious and warm and the roads and attractions empty. One can also discover events and celebrations aimed at the locals once the holiday season has ended. Below are five of these events and experiences that should not be missed on an Autumnal jaunt to Provence.
Stroll through the Market at Sanary Sur Mer in mid September, enjoying the balmy temperatures, dappled light and the range of late summer produce with splendid colours and smells. This is a time of year to really see French artisan genius in a vast array of skills and creativity too, having had the Summer months and weather to grow, paint, cook and make delicious crafts and wares. Whilst in the region pop into Miellerie de l’Oratoire on the 10th for their visiting day, to have demonstrations of the honey making process and even a honey tasting session, c’est magnifique! Septembre en Mer (September by the Sea) offers a month of over 200 marine-themed events up and down the coast, particularly around La Ciotat, Cassis and Marseille. Aiming to celebrate all things by, on, and from the sea, there are a whole host of events to educate, engage and entertain you on the coastline. From diving, kayaking, historical displays, exhibitions and tastings, all ages and characters can find something to enjoy. The government-sponsored Fête de la Gastronomie is a nationwide celebration of all things ‘foodie’ on the 23rd-25th September. In 2010, UNESCO classified France’s gastronomy as ‘an intangible cultural heritage of humanity’ and this festival is a reminder of all that is simply splendid about the French cuisine. There is a wide range of special events such as tastings, workshops and open-air banquets in cities, towns and villages across the country. Wander through any village or town in Provence on this specific weekend to get fully immersed in this wonderful event. Ban des Vendanges is at the beginning of September to mark the gathering of the grapes from the papal vineyards, with tastings of Côtes du Rhône wines, a farmers’ market, picnics, dancing and music. Cassis also hosts Les Vendanges Etoilées (The Starry Grape Harvest) in late September. The “starry” bit refers to the Michelin-starred chefs who give cookery demonstrations and oversee the food on offer, and there are, wonderfully, many opportunities to taste Cassis’ delicious wines. Journées du Patrimoine also known as ‘Open Doors Days’, is a weekend (17th-18th September) that gives opportunities to visit buildings, monuments and sites, many of which are not normally accessible to the public free of charge or a reduced rate. It aims to offer access to all ages and encourages care for architectural and environmental heritage. There are also a range of guided tours, concerts, workshops and readings #France #Fest #life #food #meditation #Holiday #Provence #wine Please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all the updates and news ![]()

![]() Boeing Business Jets has hooked up with Fokker to produce a panoramic cabin window that will be the largest flying on any passenger aircraft. The Skyview Panoramic Window, which measures 1.4m by 0.5m (4.5ft by 1.5ft), will be offered on Boeing Business Jets and is due to make its debut in 2018 - and will be the world’s largest window on any passenger jet. It is made by “effectively joining three existing 737 windows together”, Boeing said, and can be placed in multiple potential locations aft of the wing depending on aircraft type. The installation effectively joins together three standard passenger windows and can be located on multiple potential locations aft of the wing, depending on aircraft type.

I am an Etihad platinum card holder and was privileged experiencing the 24h Etihad first class lounge in Abu Dhabi (Terminal 3).
The first positive point is its location; it is just a few steps after the immigration and in the middle of the duty free, just one floor above – how convenient is that! On the ground floor you get greeted and checked in with a smile and you can take the elevator up to the lounge. Upstairs you can just leave your bags at the reception and you can enter the very large, calm and elegant lounge. If you are there for the first time the Etihad ground crew will show you around and explain all the facilities:
All facilities and design have the look and feel of a modern club lounge you would find in top hotels like the Ritz, Mandarin Oriental or Four Seasons. We usually plan our arrival at the airport so we can have a meal before the flight at the lounge. The restaurant and menu is superb with top chefs and the food can compare with any fine dining venue in New York, London or Frankfurt. We prefer to go one of the 2 TV rooms as it has sliding doors and as we have small kids we have the privacy we want and the kids will not disturb other travelers. The wine list again was outstanding with a superb selection of great new and old world wines and many other cocktails and beverages on the list. There is a separate bar/snack menu what sort of mirrors the style of the restaurant a la carte menu. The kids play room well set with plenty of activities and books for kids. I have not made use of the super-duper cool looking sensory area, probably that’s good - otherwise I would have disturbed my fellow travelers with my snoring. All the staff we encountered have been extremely well groomed (the Etihad treatment) and been very friendly and accommodating; if you travel with kids you really appreciate this. This lounge is really pioneer and trend setter with their incredible tasting menu, modern cocktails, and state of the art spa facilities that includes wet shaves, haircuts and so on. WIFI and connectivity is great as one would expect. The Etihad fist class lounge is definitely one of the best lounges out there but could do with some more character and warmth from a design point but also in regards to soft skill of the staff. This Etihad Lounge is by far better compare to the many kind of 3* coffee-shop style business class lounges and some mediocre first class lounges around the globe and the quality of food and beverage makes it worthwhile to go to. If I can recommend some improvements: - What is missing is a sleeping area, i have seen on several occasions rooms are used and sofas in the back area with travelers sleeping and occupying those areas. - The nice menu to be available 24h. I wanted to have something nice one day and was told sat this time I could only enjoy the breakfast I am looking forward to visit the lounge during my next upcoming trips.
