All those countless hours in the gym, deciding whether to push that extra rep or that extra 10 minutes of cardio, has finally started to pay off. Unfortunately, for those who did not get into these activities, you are behind a bit. For either crowd, here are some ti

Monaco's Nightlife Monaco nightlife is as hip as any on the coast, by turns hot and cool, and can be ludicrously expensive. Last time I was in the legendary Jimmy’z, a beer cost me €26. Jimmy’z The HQ of Monaco hipdom for 40 years or more - it was launched in 1974 by the legendary Regine - Jimmy’z is huge: half inside and half outside (in the very pleasant Japanese garden) – and wholly outrageous.

Moments of absolute pomp-and-circumstance tradition were met with instances of humanity and compassion not common in royal weddings. Prince Charles, particularly, was praised for walking Meghan to the altar and later for escorting her mother, Doria Ragland, to the side room of the chapel and emerging from St. George’s Chapel with th

If James Dean, Ghandi and Kurt Kobain by some miracle of nature came together and bore a child, it would probably be Felix. He is a non-conformist, that’s the first thing you’ll notice about him. While he deliberately opposes the ruling norm, he shows great respect for it. He walks about with a first-book Harry Potter-esque slouch that contrasts with his elaborate tattoos. The second he stops and looks at you, the feeling is piercing but comforting. He speaks with a permanent
