brand new

You may have noticed some changes around here at La Dulci Vida. I've done a little housekeeping. Hope you like!

spooky sips

This Halloween cocktail (with fresh tangerine juice) looks pretty damn good. I like adult treats like this :) Find the recipe here. Thanks Martha!!

little stella

Stella McCartney has designed a kids line under her own label. As usual, the clothes are eco friendly and beautifully designed. The only question I have is...why doesn't it come in my size!?

Images will be available here November 3rd.

very vera

This book about Vera Neumann, the brains behind those poppy vintage scarves, is definitely on my wish list. It's full of her sketches, photographs and inspiration. Available at Anthropologie.

undie-mail

How cute are these undies? I love the Air Mail Envelope packaging! Designer Daphne Javitch created these when she couldn't find a low-slung pair that wasn't too sexy or too granny.

The result, adorable! Available at Opening Ceremony.

cyber gleek

Dianna Agron, aka Quinn from Glee has a tumblr blog full of her beautiful behind the scenes photographs. She is also a writer/director/photographer. In addition to being an unwed mother and a Cheerio. Go girl. Check it here.

scenes from the weekend...

Miami was everything I needed it to be. Tripnotes to come soon! PROMISE!!

marilyn vacays

These rare photos of Marilyn on vacation are lovely. How funny is she with crutches and a bikini by the pool? Only you Marilyn, only you!!

These rare photos are available for purchase in book form here. Great gift!

martha takes Halloween

Oh, Martha. Rockin' Halloween like it ain't no thang. (ps. obvi...my personal favorite.)

party in the city

Where you'll find me this weekend...

Off to Miami for some Mojitos and sunshine (hopefully). We're staying at The National - an old Art Deco style hotel with an amazing pool. Will fill you in on all the details when I return!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

tres chic

WOW! These images from Zuhair Murad's F/W 10-11 look book are incredible. I love the champagne color and of course, Paris in all it's glory. Via Sarah Klassen.

idlewild books

Wanted to show you all my favorite little book shop in New York City.

It's mainly a travel book shop, but they also have great novels from well known (and not so well known) authors.


Also, they offer 10 week language courses to help prep you for your next big trip! Next time you're on 19th street, pop in.

scenes from the weekend...

Take-out brunch and some major planning for some upcoming trips, here and there.

shaken not stirred

I love the idea of having a Martini Bar at your party, for people to fix their own (I find people are so picky about martinis). Would be a fun idea for a Mad Men party - the season finale is next Sunday!! Via Sunday Suppers.

pom-poms in da house

I am in love with this nursery featured in the online magazine Covet Garden. The have a tutorial for the pom-poms. So friggin cute! Learn how to get your pom-pom on here.

first

I am in LOVE with the Anya Hindmarch designed amenity bags available in the First Class Cabin on British Airways. So chic! Now, I just have to save my pennies for a first class international flight...ugh. Found here.

mad about you

It's by far my favorite show on television, and these behind the scenes photographs make me love it even more. Are you mad for Mad Men? I've got Jon Hamm fever! See more here.
