Part 6: Road to Sweden with Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth

So who better to spend the Christmas holidays with than Alexander Skarsgard and fashionista girlfriend Kate Bosworth. And where better to spend Christmas than Sweden, which claims to be the home of Santa Claus. And, so dear hearts, please join us on our journey to the land of trolls, meatballs, and minimalist furniture...


1. Stockholm. Upon our arrival in Stockholm, we are taken to our hotel, the Rival Hotel, owned by Benny Andersson. That's right Benny Andersson of ABBA. We personally love ABBA, so we are quite excited (ok maybe not Mr. Fashionista so much, but we have certainly caught him singing Lay All Your Love on Me while watching Mamma Mia). We our led to our suite, which is beautifully decorated in gorge blonde Swedish furniture (but the fancy kind, not the kind you assemble yourself from a box a la Ikea) and a complimentary ABBA cd to listen to during our visit. Our suite overlooks Mariatorget, aka Maria Square, and we can just see the statue of Thor, covered in snow, from our balcony. Mr. Fashionista and I settle in and decide to change clothes and get nice and bundled for a day of sightseeing in the tundra. It's a little after noon, and we only have a couple of hours of daylight left, so we make our wardrobe change quick.

Part 5: Road to Australia with Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

37242, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Thursday January 28, 2010. Hugh Jackman and wife Debra Lee Furness at the From Paris With Love film premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. Photograph: Darla Khazei, PacificCoastNews.comWhen Hugh Jackman invited us to take a tour of his homeland Australia, with him, we certainly could not refuse. And so, at the first available opportunity, Mr. Fashionista and I packed our bags and flew down under to meet up with the Aussie hottie and his wife Debora-Lee Furness. 



1. Family Time in Sydney. After almost a whole day of flying, we arrive in Sydney where Hugh meets us to immediately begin our tour through the city. Hugh is adorable, dressed in a black v-neck tee, jeans, fedora, and shades. Scrumptious. Unfortunately, his wife will be unable to join us until later in the afternoon as their two children have piano lessons this morning.

And so we begin our tour in the oldest area of Sydney, called simply "The Rocks."  The old district is nestled at the foot of Sydney Harbour Bridge on the western shores of Sydney Cove and from here, we can appreciate both the gorgeous location and the history which has shaped this vibrant and cosmopolitan city. The area is mainly comprised of cafes, restaurants and shops, but also shows off beautiful colonial buildings. After admiring the scenery and picking up a couple of stuffed koala bears for Hugh's kids, Oscar and Ava, we decide that all of us could definitely use a bite to eat.

Part 4: Road to South Africa with Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 11: Actors Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox attend the after party at the L.A. premiere for 'The Tripper' held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary on April 12, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)It has been far, far, far too long since our last post featuring a celebrity couple on the road to some fabulous destination. And so, without further ado, we have decided to take a little trip to South Africa with our fave BFF couple, Courtney Cox and Jen Aniston. Right now Courtney is hurting from her split from husband of 11 years, David Arquette, and is in serious need of some fun with her buddy Jen, who is continually unlucky in love. So, pack your bags dear hearts, and join Courtney, Jen, Mr. Fashionista and me for a trip to South Africa!

Part 2: Road to Sicily with George Clooney & Elisabetta Canalis

Back again so soon, you say? Well, yes, we were too excited not to post about our first celebrity road trip. And where are we going?

HOLLYWOOD - MARCH 07: Elisabetta Canalis and actor George Clooney arrive at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at Kodak Theatre on March 7, 2010 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)As we all know George Clooney is currently dating Elisabetta Canalis, a gorgeous Italian actress, who must be somewhat amazing to have kept George for such a long time, right? And where should these two gorgeous, interesting and charming people take us? Why to Sicily, of course. Clooney and Canalis would love this trip as well as they're probably always at his magnificent villa on Lake Como, which is so very far away from the island of mythical Sicily. Plus, Mr. Fashionista and I will have someone to translate for us. Perfect!



1. Palermo.

George has agreed to pick up the car at the airport and drive us through Palermo. Thank god because we've heard driving in Palermo ages you in two days as badly as the first six months of being President does. First things first guys, let's grab a cappucino. Now caffeinated, George decides to drop Elisabetta and I off at La Viccuria, a souk-style market, while Mr. Fashionista  and he run off to play bocce ball. Elisabetta (she's letting me call her Betty now, by the way) and I have a blast, buying all sorts of tchotchkes for our homes which we will never use (although she seems a bit high maintenance IMHO) and George is so gracious that he lets Mr. Fashionista win bocce ball.
