Sending a dispatch from Madrid, which marks the halfway point of my European summer trip. I spent the morning tapas tasting at Mercado de San Miguel, a destination I could only describe as a Disneyland for the culinary adventurous. After several salty rounds of pincho de boquerones and jamón picante, it’s easy to see why a siesta is a summer mandate here in Spain.
I started the trip with eight days in Paris — my Euro home away from home. This year felt especially familiar and frenzied with friends from all corners of the world convening for fashion week or a jumping-off point for more remote beaches and destinations. The highlights: A Voodoo Vin pop-up at Early June and a rave inside the basement of Bourse de Commerce (an evening ending with 4 am falafels, of course).
I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about what I wore (as well as where I went) — so I’ve decided to share the first lot of inquiries in today’s newsletter. Here’s a breakdown of what I packed from Paris to Lanzarote below:
