Feeling cultural? Do visit the most beautiful museum in the world. The Guggenheim in Bilbao, the stunning architecture by J Paul Gehry is beyond stunning. The collections varies, so do check the website. But the museum alone is worth visiting.

Banoffi pie, this classic English dessert is really easy to make. I all ways make it in a nice glass so you can see the layering. Make with melted butter and biscuit crumbles a thin layer at the bottom of the glass. Put in the fridge for a couple of hours. Meanwhile put in boiling water a tin of sweetened condensed milk for 2,5 hours, the milk will turn into dulce de leche. Put on top of the crumbles slices of bananas and pour the dulce de leche over the bananas. Top off with whipped cream and chocolate bits. Delicious!

We from the headquarters are all ways fond of the combination beach and city. Recently we where in San Sebastian a charming coast town in the Basque coast. We where smitten by the lovely town filled with nice restaurants. {the top 3 Michelin star restaurants are located in this city.} But has also lots to offer in shopping, nice vintage shops and lots of authentic Spanish brands. The evenings are easy to spend in lots of charming bars which all have a wide range of the local tapas ” pinxtos ” to offer. The wide sandy beach is a surfers paradise and has a local charm over it. Nicolicous tip: go for long weekend in September.

Dining al fresco in Paris, whenever I am in Paris I allways want a relaxing evening. The right place to go is Ralphs, a romantic patio attatched at the Ralph Lauren store in the middle of St.Germain. The cheesecake is heavenly.

The Nicolicious winter look for this season; a simple unconstructed jacket made of cashmere, combined with grey woollen trousers. To make the look less formal I chose suede mountain booths to add some sturdiness.
