I'm fortunate to get to travel to London once a year or so for work and it's one of my favorite cities in the world. One of my must-stop boutiques is always Designers Guild on Kings Road.

The owner, Tricia Guild, is a master with color and pattern, and I'm always drawn to the shop's fabulous windows and room sets. The fabrics are still to-the-trade only in the U.S., but they've just opened an online store, where they're selling their linens, room fragrances, and other accessories.

I picked up a peony candle the last time I was in the shop and can't wait to order another -- it is definitely the scent for Spring!

Karen... there are so many great places along that stretch of King's Road. It took us all day to walk up and down the street. Then I went back after my visit to the National Army Museum just around the corner.

Meg, I'd love to know some of your favorites! I love window shopping around Kings Road, Pimlico Road, Sloane St., etc. Sadly, a colleague of mine just returned and said there were a lot of empty storefronts. Guess it's not surprising, but I hate to hear it.
