Bully For El Bulli!
If travel happens to take you to one of my favorite countries, Spain, you must visit one of my favorite restaurants, El Bulli. Run by one of the best chefs in the world, Ferran Adria, this must-see in Roses is an acknowledged mecca for foodies. The 35-course grand tasting menu is a complete symphony of tastes,textures and wonder, as evidenced by the oysters topped with smoked Iberian pancetta above. From start to finish, the dining experience revolves around intimacy, topped with an air of exclusivity. The restaurant holds only 50 people, has just one seating per night and limits its operation from the months of March through October. That means make your travel plans well in advance--out of the 400,000 requests they receive for reservations, only 2,000 per season are filled--unless, of course, that special someone in your life has the right connections. Email bulli@elbulli.com or fax them at (34) 972 150 717

Maldives Paradise
When winter is in full force and I really need to get away from it all with someone special (beyond a quick jaunt to the Caribbean or Mexico), my preference is the Maldives. Located in the Indian Ocean and comprising over 1,000 individual islands, the white sand beaches and crystal clear water have served as fertile settings for more naughty thoughts than I care to divulge. If times call for a really relaxing and romantic getaway, aim for the resorts located on Soneva Fushi and Soneva Gili. As the photo above shows, they promise the utmost in quality, attention to detail and, of course, total pampering.

Spring Fashion Is Just Around The Corner
Flirty, bouncy, sexy.....these are operative words for catching (and keeping) the man of your dreams.....and for Spring Fashion 2007. Zac Posen does a great job capturing this feeling througout each design in his wonderful collection. The designs are fun, but with an understated quality that allows plenty of room for your individual personality, attitude and assets to shine through. With plenty of places to go, so many wonderful things to do, and so little time to waste, it's important to look smashing....especially when the man of our dreams could be lurking around the next corner!
