Looking forward to...

That's what friends are for

This is Luca and he's leaving for NYC next Tuesday. I deliberately chose the worst pic of him.. he just doesn't need pics to prove how crazy, fun and smart he is (AND beautiful). =) I really like this one, because we were having such a good time (taking stupid pics and celebrating my b-day)! You can't even imagine how much I'm gonna miss you. LOVE YOU and good luck my T.T.

The unexpected

Last night I was walking home after the opening of a (very different and unusual) photograph exhibition and I stopped by some gorgeous window shops (Moschino Cheap&Chic and Bottega Veneta respectively). They're fun, chic and smart. Love them. Love being surprised by ideas. PS: Moschino Cheap&Chic elephant installation is an idea of my beautiful dear friend Francesco.

Hermès

It's Milan Fashion Week and it's amazing. Last night I attended the opening of Hermès' new flagship store in Via Sant'Andrea. It was classic and cool and there were golden ponies all over the walls: loved it. They give us champagne and finger food + an amazing little gift (a cute foulard).. - I feel so lucky -

6 things that make my day

I've asked some of my friends to write down a list of 6 things that make their day.. Even if I'm still waiting for some replies, I'm going to post the first list very very soon! In the meanwhile, pink sunsets just make my day..magic! PS: this idea was obviously inspired by the amazing blog "The Rockstar Diaries" (http://taza-and-husband.blogspot.com/). I just wanted to give voice to my beautiful friends!

Ups and downs

It could be London or Paris, but the emotions are the same: sometimes you just need to be lifted up, feeling light and happy. Other times you only need to be grounded, fearing to go upside down.

Fall treats: books + cocoa cups

  • "There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts." Charles Dickens
BUT
  • "My father had left a small collection of books in a little room upstairs, to which I had access (for it adjoined my own) and which nobody else in our house ever troubled. From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, the Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas, and Robinson Crusoe, came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time . . ." Charles Dickens - David Copperfield

"La mode se démode, le style jamais." Coco Chanel

Dressing up

I could get dressed and ready for THE wedding over and over again.. It was magical.
