It seems like more and more old-fashioned barber shops and salons are popping up all over NYC. I was particularly intrigued by this one called Ernest & Olivia. Love that checkerboard floor!

spain on the brain

Escorial Monastery, Madrid, Spain pictures

Tomorrow, I'm off to Spain to celebrate Turkey day with tapas and red wine. I won't have reliable access to internet while traveling, but I'll be back next week with photographs, tall tales and a pair of jeans 2 sizes larger. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!

What to Pack : Thanksgiving

Introducing a new feature on La Dulci Vida: What to Pack. With the holidays coming up and people traveling more and more, I thought it would be helpful and fun to suggest some things to pack! So without further ado, What to Pack - The Thanksgiving Edition!

turkey-day


1. Thanksgiving is all about comfort - Pack a comfy pair of jeans with extra stretch.
2. A good book to read while the turkey brines...
3. After all that turkey, you'll be tired. A good pair of PJ's should be on your packing list.
4. A good guest always brings a hostess gift; this candle would make a special present.
5. Cashmere dahling...You can never pack enough!!
6. I love the label on this wine - tastes yummy too!
8. This weekender is perfect for a short trip home.

In anticipation of my upcoming February trip to Switzerland, I was so surprised to see the Cervo Hotel on Jetsetter. I can't wait to go back, and while I won't be staying at The Cervo, you can bet I'll be enjoying Après-ski at their cozy bar snacking on wild game tapas! Read my Switzerland Tripnotes here.

lovely lanvin

I can't wait to get my mitts on this little beauty from the upcoming Lanvin for H&M line. Best of all? 30% off the proceeds are donated to UNICEF. Check it.

These tiny initial rings from Catbird (one of my favorite Brooklyn shops) are so sweet. I love little dainty jewelry pieces like this. via nymag.

Great packaging for an interesting perfume (apparently it smells like Japanese ink). Read the press release here.
