Tré Cool permalinkWe’re not the types to drop the coin or get on a wait list for one of Hermès’ Birkin bags. But we would spring for simple, functional accessories like their roll-able felt travel tray. (Via Journal-Inc.)

From New York 04/28/08
Outdoor Ed permalinkThe Spring/Summer weather is finally being felt by New Yorkers. That’s why we decided to take a trip out to Fort Tilden, a former United States Army Installation in the New York City borough of Queens. It is pretty amazing out there, seeing that military installations on the site date back to the War of 1812. Abandoned buses, houses, and warehouses remain on the grounds, sitting right next to baseball fields and the beach. If you are in NY this Summer, it’s definitely worth the subway ride out, just to be able to explore and make it your new Summer jump off! (Via Spacey Tracy.) |

Turnleft Guides permalink"We’re the Kate Moss of travel guides!” So say the team at Turnleft, who penned a new series of free city guides for urban travelers (read: the hipper-than-thou with money to burn). The guides are perfect for a short trip or catching up on the latest in a city and they’re published quarterly, which ensures fresh local content. The Helsinki guide (above) is out now and guides for Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Paris are on the horizon. (Via FMCS.)

Breathe Inn permalinkCamella Ehlke (Triple Five Soul’s founder) and her husband Marlon Aitcheson (a renowned chef) are co-owners of the Breathe Inn, a quaint yet modern bed and breakfast located in upstate New York. This is the place you want to go if you need to unplug and do it in stylishly appointed (and surprisingly affordable) digs. Oh yeah, there are mountains too.

PALM by Johan Lindskog permalinkTonite through April 6 our Stockholm store (Biblioteksgatan 5) hosts PALM by Johan Lindskog (who you might know as the chief editor of RES magazine). To celebrate Original Penguin’s Spring/Summer ‘08 travel inspired collection, the exhibition features huge black and white prints of Lindskog’s palm images, which were shot around the world during his travels to over 70 countries.

Raf Simons X Eastpak permalinkOf the multitudes of collaborations we’ve been subjected to over the past year, this Raf Simons X Eastpak rucksack is one of the few that was done right. You might have caught a glimpse of them when he sent them down the runway as a part of his S/S ‘08 collection. |

Lo-Fi SF permalinkFollow the Notes By Naive travel guide to San Francisco and you’ll leave your heart there, too. Been there, done that? Check out Lo-Fi London & Portland.

Don’t Mind the Gap permalinkEmma Clarke is the infamous voice behind London’s pseudo-slogan “Mind The Gap”. She has been alerting London tube commuters to their upcoming train stops and estimated travel distances since 1999. She was let go after an interview where she called the London transit network “dreadful.” London may be lost without her. |

Lost Luggage permalinkThe Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro, AL is exactly what it sounds like. It sells the contents of luggage left unclaimed at airports. Next time the airline loses your luggage, look in Alabama. |
From Philadelphia 10/25/07
Stay Classy Philly - Part 2 permalinkA survey of more than 60,000 people at Travelandleisure.com determined Philadelphia home to the most unattractive people in the country. And it doesn’t end there: The people of Philly were then crowned least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly. Travel & Leisure editors try to soften the blow by adding, “We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. (We) believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia.” |

BNE Print permalinkOne man sticker juggernaut BNE just released his latest print, entitled Tokyo Neighborhood Watch. He releases one print a year, only 100 are made, and they’re not cheap. But consider this: you’ll be providing BNE with enough coin to keep up his global stickering campaign. |

Wallpaper* City Guides permalinkSummertime is dwindling so you best get your act together and take a trip. We really wanted to write about the “A Hedonist’s Guide to...” series of travel guides but we honestly couldn’t find a decent enough picture for you. Running neck and neck in the nicely-designed and super informative department are the Wallpaper* City Guides. Where’s the Philly guide (wink wink)?. |

Paperplane permalinkPaperplane is a travel magazine from the Monster Children gallery people so right off the bat you know it’s gonna be quality. We like the fact that it’s downloadable as a pdf, beautifully shot, informatively written and really focuses on unique locales. Look for issue 5 soon. |
