...Boutique Princesse Tam Tam (53, Rue Bonaparte), and look for late-January sales. Sunday-morning ritual? Walk and shop the thriving Marché Biologique (Boulevard Raspail, between Rue de Rennes and Rue du Cherche-Midi). Here amid the cheese and mushrooms are cashmere shawls, Panama hats and herb-infused bath salts. I never leave without buying the best latke--here it's called a galette--I ever ate: grated potato, onion and cheese all sizzled and crusty...
...Notting Hill Gate underground station, a poster for American singer Jack Johnson doesn't just promote his latest album, In Between Dreams - it plays three of the tracks.

In addition to making antiaging cleanser and lip plumper with Wexler, Fiske has paired up with L'Occitane to sell the new Le Couvent des Minimes line of bath salts and pillow mists and with the American Girl doll company to make body wash and hair gel aimed at tweens. Bath & Body Works has bought other brands outright. In late 2003 the company snapped up the C.O. Bigelow name and this June swallowed Slatkin...
That would be no small accomplishment for a man whose first job inside corporate America started the day he showed up at the Limited's Columbus, Ohio, headquarters to take the reins as Bath & Body Works CEO. After a childhood in Denver and a double major in economics and political science at Williams College, Fiske went to work in Washington as a congressional speechwriter. After that was Harvard Business School, and then a job at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he met Wexner, who was shopping around for consultants.
