Candy Cakes: Europe {gotta get there!}

Candy Cakes

Can we all take a moment of silence to give thanks to such pretty cupcakes that are carefully placed in pretty window vignettes and adorned with juicy colors like fuschia, orange, yellows, turquoise, and pinks. Oh my! If you are ever in Europe, near the Covent Garden Piazza, Fitzrovia London, or roaming Kingly Court off of Carnaby Street, then you must pop into the sweet shop of Candy Cakes! The decor is so lovely and the cupcakes, oh, why I have not had the pleasure of devouring one of these personally, I am more than positive that these sweet gems would be divine, and when you’re asked to create 300 cupcakes for Madonnas 5oth Birthday, then you know they must be tasty! Not only am I in love with their pretty cupcakes, but I think that their decor is great, especially the Covent Garden Piazza location with its jeweled greens, pinks, and whites, and the cute outside eating area!

The George In Rye {gotta get there}

the George In Rye

I would love to spend a quaint weekend at The George in Rye in the southeast of England. What I love about this boutique hotel is the ambiance and the decor that resemble the comfort of home. There is nothing worse than staying at a hotel that is sterile and deplete of character. Bed & breakfasts, and “homey” boutique hotels such as The George In Rye would be my first pick over many mainstream hotels. When living in Savannah, we had the opportunity to tour and stay in many of the bed & breakfasts, and the charm of the old homes and the comfort of the southern food was enticing, and the huge rice beds and fluffy pillows was just icing on the cake! One of my favorites was the Olde Georgia Inn(no longer in business). It was a period home and the kitchen was gorgeous..wood block island, porcelain kitchenware, vintage stove, and brick walls. If I can find a photo, i will be sure to post it!

So, have any of you had the opportunity to stay at a bed & breakfast or a swanky and comforting hotel such as The George in Rye..do share!

Argentina: La Boca

Wow! The architecture and color that are nestled in what seems to be some of the prettiest landscapes around! Argentina is one place that I would love to visit if only for the architecture and food! My roommate from college is half Armenian and she took a trim there and said that it was quite lovely! Have any of you ever traveled to this part of the world? here are some of my favorite images…

La Boca: This little town of Buenos Aires is so charming and colorful! I bet you could find some fabulous things to bring back to the states after going here!

Exeter-Devon: Southwest England {gotta get there}

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

If you are ever in Southwest England, let’s say somewhere around Exeter (which is the capital city of Devon county & is home to the lovely Exeter Cathedral), then why not entertain your taste buds by stopping by La BoCa! I love the decor of this venue(it’s 4 stories with 4 different restaurants) and the menu consists of Authentic Moroccan cuisine such as cous-cous, dolci, chicken, lamb, and vegetarian tajines, flalafel, stuffed vine leaves, hummus, and so much more! I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Yum!

La BoCa: Exeter

“La BoCa consists of 4 floors where you can experience the exotic. You can share an authentic tajine, cooked in traditional terracotta pots & served to your table straight from the oven, as you dine in the sumptuous Hareem on mounds of cushions under beautiful silk awnings. No party is too big or small for the Latin Quarter Grill and private function room. From corporate meetings to private parties La BoCa will provide a unique experience in authentic surroundings that will make any gathering a memorable one. On the Ground floor there is El Hamra where you’ll feel like you have been transported to the heart of North Africa, with traditional belly dancing you will also be entertained whilst enjoying your meal. After you have finished your meal you can relax downstairs in Club Maroc with an exquisite Cocktail whilst listening to live Jazz, Flamenco guitar or resident dj’s. Run by the same team who brought you the ever popular Al Beb in Torquay you are sure to have a wonderful time, and look forward to your next visit with anticipation.”

Breathe-Inn {gotta get there}

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Aaah! Take in the fresh and airy decor of upstate New Yorks Bed & Breakfast: Breathe-Inn, I love the simple & quaint serenity of these rooms along with a slight sparkle of Moroccan and eastern influences from the lighting to the textiles. The clean white walls and the pop of color of the bed spreads and art are wonderful. You can’t beat prices starting at just $150 a night. Most plain Jane hotels could cost around the same price and you better believe that you won’t be seeing any Moroccan lanterns, plush textiles, and hardwood floors in those rooms nor would your breakfast consist of choices like: fresh frittatas, strawberry mimosas, freshly squeezed antioxidant juice, or scrambled tofu, which are all whipped up by celebrity chef Marlon Aitchesson. Yep…Gotta Get There to Breathe Inn that sort of relaxation!

Greece {gotta get there}

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Ever traveled to Greece? I have not had the opportunity to visit as of yet but I can adore the architecture and colors from abroad! A staple color combo in Greece is Cobalt blue and white. I think the architecture is amazing and it seems that through any window pane you could find a view worth taking a picture of.
