THE NOMADIC LIFE Who's Going Where This Summer … JOANNE & CHARLES TEICHMAN, Owners, Ylang|23 BRANT McFARLAIN, Decorator So, where are you off to? Italy: Rome and Florence. Reason for going? I'm taking my partner, Justin, for his first time to either city. It's my favorite country and absolute favorite culture. Where do you stay? Rome, Hotel de Russie. Florence, Hotel Savoy. Packing to read? I'm still working on a book called Lincoln by David Herbert Donald. Of course, there will be many design magazines and men's fashion magazines in my carry-on. Kindle, iPad or paper? iPad definitely to read the paper. I still like magazines to flip through. Excursions to? Drive through Tuscany and discover a medieval village for lunch to take in the culture of Rome and Florence. Enjoy all the ancient architecture in Rome, using a private tour guide on the first day to start the trip with a nice overview of the city. Must packs? Great shoes. I don't believe travel calls for casual, rubber soles. Leather-sole dress shoes are my staple. Luggage? Vuitton duffel bag for carry-on. Bric's luggage to check … and always a Prada messenger bag for magazines, books, iPad and earphones. Where you'll be dining? It will be local fare and small intimate restaurants. What you'll come away with? Inspiration and ideas for design, great memories with Justin, and hopefully some great clothes. So, where are you off to? After dragging Charles (and the kids) around the last few years to Cuba, Istanbul, Morocco, Tanzania, the Amalfi Coast and, this past holiday, to Australia (my bucket list!), he's put his foot down: He wants to be glued to a beach chair this summer. Hence, we are going to Laguna Beach and L.A. Where do you stay? Montage in Laguna and The Beverly Hills Hotel. Packing to read? Kindle, iPad or paper? July PaperCity, cover to cover, and a stack of fashion and juicy tabloid magazines. Reading anything and everything on my Kindle, iPad, iPhone and laptop. And what will you do there? Work hard, play hard. Need to recharge our batteries — and visit our three favorite L.A. designers: Cathy Waterman, Irene Neuwirth and Jennifer Meyer. We'll do spa services in Laguna, shopping in L.A. — including a visit to Gregory Parkinson's studio and our favorite Where are you off to? Aspen to escape the Dallas heat. You'll find me dining at? L.A. — Toscana (Brentwood), The Beverly Hills Hotel Coffee Shop and Polo Lounge. Wherever there is a pool, there is food for lunch! What you'll bring home? Hopefully a sun-kissed glow and a well-tanned and rested Charles. So, where are you off to? Paris. Staying? Either at The St. Regis, The Little Nell or the Hyatt, Grand Aspen — all right in the center of Aspen. Raison pour voyage? Men's spring shows and women's fall haute couture. Packing to read? Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell or anything written by or about the Navy Seals — I'm obsessed with these modern-day warriors! The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist, one of my favorite books). And a laugh-out-loud book: Bossypants by Tina Fey. Where will you stay? L'Hôtel on rue des Beaux Arts. Kindle, iPad or paper? iPad. Other entertainments? Go to the Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. What else might you do? Anything outdoorsy. We bike down the Rio Grande Trail and up to Pine Creek Cookhouse, compete for the best time climbing the über-steep UTE Trail up Ajax Mountain, attend the Fourth of July parade and ride up the gondola for rock-climbing and the bungee trampoline. The Aspen Ideas Festival has great speakers for a two-week period from media, politics and science arenas. Can't leave home without? Diptyque Philosykos travel spray, Common Projects white sneaker and Balmain T-shirts. Luggage? Tumi (brown, of course). You'll make dinner reservations at? Ralph's at the Ralph Lauren store and L'Avenue for people watching. Can't leave home without? Day-to-night jackets, lots of scarves, flip-flops, boots and hiking gear. Pack your goldendoodle or labradoodle — all their cousins live in Aspen for the summer. Memento? If the euro is better, something from Hermès. Fave restaurants? Campo de Fiori for Italian, Matsuhisa Aspen for sushi, Cache Cache, Brunelleschi's for make-your-own pizza, Pacifica for seafood (and the best patio, too), The Wild Fig and Ajax Tavern for truffle fries. Souvenirs? I buy two Libertine jackets every year in Aspen. They are beautiful, original pieces that remind me all year of my fun summer. STEPHEN GILES, Strategy consultant CLARICE TINSLEY, Anchor, Fox 4 News Packing to read? Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and all of my cycling magazines. Kindle, iPad or paper? iPad. Must pack? Stephen: Clarice. Luggage? Vuitton. Favorite restaurants? Those with four-stars, and where the locals go. What you'll bring home? Great memories, photographs and art. APRIL | PAGE 14 | 2012 JULIE ANTILL Packing to read? Watching American Horror Story and catching up on Vanity Fair. Kindle, iPad or paper? Paper, paper! I love holding a book and being able to dog-ear pages. It's just not the same on a Kindle. Reason for going? Janelle and Larry Friedman invited us to their home in Malibu. Later, Clarice and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in South Africa. Must packs? A couple of my kids' Starbucks mugs they designed, Dr. Macrene and Kate Somerville face creams, Natura Bissé sun cream, Gregory Parkinson tie-dye dresses, James Perse tees and tops, DL1961 jeans, Lanvin blue snakeskin bag and neon moccasins, Jack Rogers sandals … And a fab collection of jewelry, including my charm necklace (Cathy Waterman, Irene Neuwirth), Jen Meyer diamond stick earrings and stack-'em-up bracelets (Todd Reed, Sydney Evan, Anita Gronstedt, Sorrelli crystal, Pippo Perez, Catherine Michiels).
