...Italian-style cafes where craggy old men sip cappuccinos and smoke cigarettes. My favorite Art Deco building is on the outskirts of town: the fantastic Fiat Tagliero gas station, which has long horizontal overhangs that jut out like giant wings from the central building. It's painted in subtle pink-and-green pastels and is soon to be converted into a disco and caf?. Asmara is full of such treasures. The more you walk, the more...

...splash in the accessory department this season. Cartier is offering a limited-edition shagreen jewelry pouch, and Bill Blass has launched a new line of shagreen-banded watches. "Some customers like [shagreen] because it resembles pave-set gems," says jeweler Stephen Webster, whose eponymous lines--seen on celebs like Pink and Oprah--feature some shagreen items.

Wood, 65, is the pink-haired Englishwoman who created Teletubbies, that dreamy, Dadaesque little kids' show about colorful humanoids with TVs in their bellies who live under a sun that has the face of a baby.
