fine jewelry, timepieces and acces-
sories. Here you'll find the signature
blue boxes - a splendid treasure sure
to be wrapped inside - of Tiffany &
Co. (248-637-2800), the legendary
watch and jewelry collection of
Cartier (248-649-4000), and an
unparalleled selection of fine and
sport watches coming in November
to Tourneau (866-597-0595). Not to
be outdone, Baccarat (248-822-
2600), the world's most famous pur-
veyor of fine crystal accents for the
home, regularly introduces a fresh
collection of stylish crystal neck-
laces, rings and bracelets, from the
truly breathtaking to the artistically
simple, yet sublime.
The fine jewelry salons at
Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth
Avenue (Somerset Collection South,
248-643-9000) let their customers
indulge in their greatest fantasies,
whether their taste leans toward the
conservative, or the more avant-
garde variety.
Indeed, Somerset Collection is
known throughout the region for its
one-of-a-kind shopping, from exclu-
sive European and American design-
er clothing and accessories bou-
tiques like Gucci (248-643-7630),
Louis Vuitton (248-643-8930),
Burberry (248-643-8555), Lladro
(248-649-6900), St. John (248-649-
1870), Kate Spade (248-458-2023),
Max Mara (248-637-3073), Ralph
Lauren (248-637-7656), and Anne
Fontaine (248-643-6416), to the
more democratic, but nonetheless
stylish, shops like Club Monaco
(248-649-2665), Armani Exchange
(248-637-0080), Kenneth Cole (248-
816-8300), Lucky Brand Jeans (248-
649-9299) and Sephora (248-458-
0100).
While Somerset Collection, with
its 180 stores and restaurants, is the
definitive shopper's paradise, a mile
or so east is another commercial hub
with its own distinct style. At two
shopping plazas on either side of Big
Beaver, just west of Rochester Road,
savvy shoppers looking for the latest
fashions at discounted prices know
to prowl the racks at Loehmann's
(805 E. Big Beaver, 248-680-1400),
Syms (901 E. Big Beaver, 248-524-
6161) and the region's only
Nordstrom Rack (822 E. Big Beaver,
248-764-2121).
ARTS & CULTURE
The history of what was then farm-
land and prairie, and now the city of
Troy, can be explored at the Troy
Museum & Historic Village (60 W.
Wattles Road, 248-524-3570).
Nestled around a replica of a 19th
century gazebo, period structures -
wagon shop, cobbler's shed, original
one-room schoolhouse - comple-
ment the adjacent museum, housed
in what was Troy's first city hall.
Admission to the museum and
village, as well as special events such
as the October Heritage Home
Festival, concerts, and the Hanging
of the Greens in December, is free.
Fans of live theater take in per-
formances by the Ridgedale Players
(205 W. Long Lake Rd, 248-988-
7049, or www.ridgedaleplayers.com ),
one of the oldest community the-
aters in the state, having staged its
first production in 1933.
ENTERTAINMENT/HANGOUT
The Troy Public Library (501 W.
Big Beaver, 248-524-3538), on the
city's civic center campus, offers a
year-round schedule of programs for
children, teenagers and adults, as
well as fine art shows and musical
performances. For a complete sched-
ule, visit www.libcoop.net/troy.
Also on the civic center campus,
the outdoor Troy Family Aquatic
Center (3425 Civic Center Dr., 248-
524-3514) is open to non-residents
as well. Passes may be purchased per
day, or seasonally. In addition to the
main swimming pool, the complex
includes junior and adult water
slides, playscapes, volleyball courts,
and a concession stand.
The City of Troy Parks and
Recreation Department oversees the
Aquatic Center, plus parks, public
golf courses, the Community
Center, the Lloyd A. Stage Nature
Center, and the annual Troy Daze
fair held in early fall at Boulan Park.
