Dara Goes Under the Mistletoe With Loewe

Lucy reminds me we have a cover shoot to prep, so we really shouldn’t indulge, but I take a cocktail anyway. Double kisses and wagyu on crispy rise escort me to the back of the bar where a very jolly man is drawing people’s pets. It’s adorable. Unfortunately, no actual dogs—just very chic illustrations and some glittery puppy ornaments on a Loewe Christmas tree. The logo-shaped candy canes were imported straight from the North Pole and made by elves, the PR tells me. Any gifts for me under there? No, but caviar on a blini will do. Yum. I’m buzzed off one drink and banging on the glass case with the new puppy-emblazoned puzzle bag. Soooo cute. Oop, okay, it’s time to go finish up some late night e-mails. Thanks, Loewe!
