blue eyes

It's rainy and grey in New York City, but these specs have me ready for some serious sun. MEOW!

get 'em here ladies.

si señor

Wow. Just returned (literally) from an amazing trip to Spain. Can't wait to share my Tripnotes and photos! Soon, soon, soon!

classic cuts

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

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!!

good medicine

Beauty blog, Into The Gloss, explores what's inside some of the most famous medicine cabinets in the Fashion industry. I loved peeking into model of the moment Karlie Kloss' medicine cabinet. Check it out here.

i want candy

I collect candy wrappers from everywhere I travel. These little treats caught my eye on Saveur.

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!

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!

7. Love these riding boots.

8. This weekender is perfect for a short trip home.

swiss miss

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.

tiny rings

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.

inked

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

pretty papers

How sweet are these wallpapers from Paul & Joe? The swans are my favorite. Available for download here.
