Conde Nast Traveler Where Are You Now Book

Where are you now?

Regular readers of Condé Nast Traveler are surely familiar with the sometimes maddening feature, "Where Are You Now?" A gorgeous single photo is spread across two pages and readers are given a few hints about the location and invited to guess where the photo was taken. There's typically a fabulous prize, like a 3-night stay at a Ritz Carlton.

Now you can test your mettle on the Where Are You Now book from Assouline.  It features 100 photos to inspire your future travels. Available on Assouline.

Target Collection of Go International Dresses

Target's Go International program is commemorating five years of designer collaborations with a line of thirty-four dresses representing the seventeen designer collections with Thakoon, Rodarte, and Zac Posen among others.

“GO International has an incredible following and we wanted to provide women who love fashion with a second chance to get their hands on some of the program’s most popular dresses,” said Trish Adams, senior vice president of apparel and accessories, Target.

We've bought a few of the dresses ourselves, our favorite being the recent Tucker line. Its dresses were just flowy enough and not too fussy, to flatter and fit well. Here are a few of the highlights of the collection which is available on March 13th.

Thakoon's floral strappy dress $39.99:


Proenza Schuler's ruby bustier dress would be sexy with a cropped leather jacket $44.99:

Jovovich-Hawk's floral dress is perfect for the weekends $39.99:


Zac Posen's pink wrap dress is perfect for date night $44.99:

Help for Pre-Trip Breakouts


Anyone who has planned a vacation knows that despite the reward of getting outta town, it can be a stressful experience. You have to make sure everything is squared away at the office, rush around town to get your mani, spray tan and Brazilian wax, unearth your bikini, hit the gym so you look OK in that bikini, pack and much, much more. Then factor in a germ filled plane and well, it's a wonder we don't all wind up at the beach with at least one pimple!

Our new favorite remedy is Proactiv. As we're 30+ and on the dryer side, it's not right for our skin everyday, but there are a few miracle products that we use pre-trip and during our away time. First up, the Proactiv Clear Purifying Mask. It contains sulfur to clean out your pores so clogged ones don't even have a chance at turning into a pimple.

On the plane and at our destination, the Proactiv Makeup Removing Clothes rock. They're perfect for those late nights when you're too tired to wash your face but you know you should. Bonus: They remove eye makeup, including stubborn mascara, with zero irritation.

A third fave is the Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer. It's lightweight, superfresh and ideal for keeping skin hydrated in humid, beach temps.

All products are available at 888-819-2019.
