Ibiza Preview!

I'm on my way home from Ibiza and I suspect it might be a while before I'm able to wrap my head around (and edit) everything that happened this week. Plus I have SO much work to catch up on.

This adventure was, like most things that I've been doing lately, totally epic.

The reason for the trip was for Zameer's 35th Birthday celebration.

Zameer and I are very similar. He's in a different city/country every week making beautiful brides (and brides-to-be) very very happy. (He's a jewelry designer specializing in bespoke engagement rings.) Also he makes friends everywhere he goes and seizes every opportunity to travel and party because YOLO.

I arrived at our monstrous mountaintop villa greeted by a little pool party with a bunch of friends, old and new.

Then we were whisked off to Ushuaia, the hottest "club" in town where David Guetta was performing and Z had arranged for a VIP booth with bottle service and an incredible unobstructed view.

We had a day where we beach-hopped to 3 or 4 different gorgeous beaches...

We ate epic foods like this paella here...

We had a fabulous birthday dinner at Lio which featured a variety of incredible performances throughout an awesomely expensive dinner/danceparty...

And when I say variety I mean VARIETY... like this beard lady-man on stilts singing opera...

And these beautiful steamy hunks who went on to pour champagne over a beautiful basically-naked woman.

Did I mention our villa was epic?

It was built into the mountain and had three levels or "wings" so I couldn't really even photograph it  to properly convey it's size. It slept like 18 people though!

We had a boat day where we rented a sexy speedboat and cruised to some incredible deserted beaches on other islands and then went and admired the yachts of the rich and famous...

And then we went to Formentera, a beautiful sub-island of Ibiza where all the super rich yacht people dock their boats and go ashore to lunch at fabulous beach-side restaurants/clubs while being waited-on by impossibly gorgeous waiters and barstaff...

It was all so beautiful and there are soooo many pictures to share. These are just the ones I had prepped for social media and stuff...

Our final stop just a couple hours ago was a fabulous party at Roberto Cavalli club/lounge.

I love Ibiza! LOVE LOVE LOVE IBIZA!!!

So sad to be heading home. But excited to get to sleep on the plane since I got an international upgrade and these international Delta planes have lie-flat seats! Woo!

Barcelona: Everything Else

(Again these pics are from April. I'm just making use of my down-time to finally update some missed blog entries. Yayy)

Barcelona is such an amazing city. Especially if you like food and architectures, particularly the works of Gaudi.

On our last couple days, we visited Casa Batllo, a house unlike any other.

Running through the center of the "house" is this huge blue "air shaft" that directed natural light into almost all the rooms of the house, revolutionary, especially considering this house was built in 1800-something!

Every single detail was designed and thought out...

Even the fencing!

I'm normally not a huge fan of audio-tours...but this one was worth it.

Even the chimneys were awesomely designed. And completely functional!

After Batllo, we hit up the market for some fresh treats and good squid.

I love a rabbit!

We got some fried calamaris...

And Tee wanted the eggy, sauteed kind...yuck.

Also there were meatballs...

Mmmmmm!

Then for dinner we hit up yet another Michelin restaurant - Alkimia.

I was so full though I just ordered the delicious chicken cannelonis and tasted everything else the girls were getting.

There were a couple other Gaudi buildings we checked out. When in Barcelona you just have to...

Just blown away by these awesome chimney designs. Can you imagine if NYC rooftops and chimneys were actually all beautiful?

We also visited Park Guell...another Gaudi designed space.

Asian Poses!

Soy beautiful!

One final meal...

And that's it. The End.

Actually that's not really it. We had a crazy night out and I lost my camera and all I remember is we went to this multi-level club/restaurant and the bathroom was co-ed and in the basement and actually had a bar and DJ in there and people were actually hanging out in there and dancing around the fancy sink etc. A great idea in theory...except that every five minutes or so someone would open a stall door and the entire place would SMELL LIKE POOP!!!!!
