One of my favorite things about my visit to Spain was the Mario Testino exhibit at the Thyssen museum in Madrid. I love his photography - so feminine! The photographs were so stunning and the outfits (if they were wearing any!) were enviable. Definitely worth seeing if you have the chance!

V Magazine just released their "Age Issue" and there are some breathtaking images inside. These were my favorite, but see more here.

Some girls get diamonds. Some girls get furs. Some girls even get gift certificates to The Honey Baked Ham. But last week I got a way better gift: a truffle from Eataly's doorbuster sale.

It was promptly turned into Black Truffle Macaroni & Cheese. There is no photographic evidence of this event because it was promptly eaten and loved. Find the recipe I used (more or less) here.

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.
