Spanish Road Trip


Travel, food, culture, celebrities, and orange crocs...... I guess I might be overstepping with the crocs part but this sums up the new travel documentary on Spain, Spain...On the Road Again, with Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow. I have been dying to get my eyes on this show after seeing teaser clips on other blogs and you tube. It is so easy to become completely enthralled in a series like this because of the clever road trip experience. I find it fascinating to see the personalities behind the celebrity, like Gwyneth and Claudia. When this comes out on dvd....it's MINE!

See what I said about the crocs. I wonder why they are always orange? What a strange signature.

Hors de prix - Priceless


I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou and Priceless was instantly added to my infinite Netflix cue. This film showcases the French Riviera in all its luxury and excess, as exploited by Irene (Audrey Tautou). The wardrobe is to die for and I found myself scouring the Internet for likenesses. Hmmmm.....I wonder if I can convince my huzband that a trip to the south of France is an immediate necessity!
