Amuse bouche & Cosmopolitan
Do you know this sentence: You get what you pay for?  Well Dolce & Gabbana fully integrated this notion with a little extra. Magdalena and I booked a table to the Gold Restaurant on Friday night. We first had a drink in the smoking area, a diet coke for Miss Gray and a Cosmopolitan for myself. We were quite surprised by the amount of amuse bouche they brought us while drinking. Of course do not expect your drinks to be cheap as it is a high quality establishment but it does worth it because of the food. 


Martini Gold




The Bar's theme is about gold bullion bars, while the restaurant itself looks more purified with some white on the tables. The whole staff is very welcoming and take the time to anticipate your every needs. We had a long and nice dinner! On photos, the place looks empty when actually few minutes after it was full of people which i guess is normal for a friday night.

As a result Magdalena and I really love this place,we even thought about going back. I couldn't walk after the dinner, I was so full. But for sure this is the 1st place i will go back next time!

Hi everyone,

Beny and myself are just back from Milano where we had a blast! No need to say that, as we went there during the first days of the Italian Sales, it was quite busy! 
After hours of train and flight, we finaly arrived at Maison Moschino.  

Designed into a XIX th Century milanese Train Station, the five stars Hotel created 65 rooms according to very peculiar themes.
Nevertheless, each design takes you to the Alice in Wonderland, seen by Moschino's sense of Elegance and pure Magical Greatness.

The Rabbit Room (our first room)

The Golden Tapestry Room (Our definitive room) 

 



Comfy Moschino Robe! 

The Breakfast Area 
Quite disturbing, you keep looking for a free table "But there is a bag on this one!". The bag is actualy where you keep bottles cold...

Terrace 
Also called "The Mosquito Raid"

We clearly enjoyed the SPA and Turkish Bath after a killing roadtrip through Milano. We also found time to go to the gym (approximatively 20 minutes in 3 days), hoping for some playboys to join us! 

The Core thanks all the staff for all their kindness and availability, specially Diana who helped us finding our favourite room!

I have been lucky enough to go to San Antonio for a few days and my only word for this is: AWESOME. 
This magnificent city has several reasons to be this famous, and all of them are worthy taking a look at!

First, and for the History lovers, you've got the Alamo. 
As you go into it, you can see all the beautiful trees and flowers that lead to into the historical part of the Alamo. The Daughters about the Republic of Texas did their best to keep it in good shape (The Fortress has been destroyed just after the lasr battle it saw). Some people also gave original items to the museum, so that you can see some clothes and even a piece of David Crocket's hair in a bucket!


Then, I moved to the Zoo. I love taking pictures of animals even if I have to admit going to the Zoo when you are an adult is not really the same feeling. You kinf of  hardly realize that they are not in their natural life and it is sad. But most of the animals in the San Antonio Zoo or here for protection or have been raised in captivity. 
Taking pictures of the reptiles was huge, they have all those wonderful paterns and colors... 








And then, it was shopping in chilling time on the Riverwalk during Spurs game! The Riverwalk is just one of the most amazing place I have ever seen. It is cool, colorful and full of energy! The Rivercenter mall is built upon the river, with lot of cool shops, including Disney Store and GAP, the two places I spent half of my salary! 





Last, feel free to have a look at the entire Riverwalk, and get there as soon as you can!










Stay tuned because The Core is about to take you in a lot more places!

Going to London without talking about fashion is like impossible.

And, as we are very lucky girls, we went to London during the Royal Wedding Dress Exhibition.
I was so happy to see it that I was running in the streets to get to Buckingham Palace!

During our tour, we had a hole description of the dress, accessories and confection by Sarah Burton herself (recorded on a tape ahah).
The Wedding Dress is just a masterpiece of Mc Queen's best lacework and mix between modern design and tranditional symbols.
The Dress was made by Mc Queen's team, in collaboration with London traditional lacework School.



Earrings have been specially carved for the wedding and are a present from Bride's Parents. They show the symbols of the new blazon of Middleton Family.

Shoes are also signed Mc Queen and show a wonderful lacework.



For the Magda's Fashion and affordable part, I bought new shoes at Office.

During our trip ton London, we went a second time to Notting Hill.
And, as we were walking along the streets and getting lost, we found this amazingly sweet Cupcake Shop.

The Cupcake Company

You just cannot imagine how good you can feel in its ambiance. It is a small vintage shop where you can see all the team cooking dreamy cakes!
Wedding cakes, cupcakes, muffins, brownies, cookies... Paradise on hearth!

I know what you are about to say.
Lush does exist in France. Their Shops are starting to be available in cities like Paris or Bordeaux.

But this one was very special, due to the people who were holding it!

Just to tell you a bit about all that, Lush is a cosmetic and bath products Brand that promotes Nature.
All their products are natural and hand made.
You can find shampoos, soaps, creams, shaving cream, lip balm, and much more...  You can even try many of them in the shop, thanks to "mini baths".

Beny chose to buy some colorful and funny things for her mom... We were very happy to spend a part of our time in this shop as the staff is really really sweet and funny!
