And in this town, we used them for anything and everything except for their intended purpose – to escape fires! So here is Thai and I are giving yet [...]
Besides for running around parks, visiting the local fish spas and spending a couple nights boogieing away, I was eager to test my palate at some of Barcelona’s reknowned restaurants. Saddened by the thought that I will never be able to visit the now closed El Bulli, I searched for the next best thing (at least one of them). [...]
Why hasn’t anybody ever told me about this place before? In the many times I have traveled to Barcelona, this was my first time hiking to the top of Montjüic. I was told it displays some of the most stunning views over Barcelona and that it does. Montjuïc itself is a broad, shallow hill overlooking the [...]

And oh Polka Dots… Why can I never get enough of you?? Plus [...]
It’s like a dream…walking into a room full of Balmain’s hand embroidered pieces sparkling just as brightly as diamonds in a jewelry store – perhaps even more. Let’s all admit it – We LOVE Balmain. The structured shoulders, the tailored blazers and those heavy encrusted dresses and gowns that add that touch of glamour… heaven. [...]
