Travel Light

... focus on letting go any mental, emotional and physical clutter that is weighing you down. 
Do you hold out dated ideas  & thoughts that don't work anymore? is there someone you need to forgive? stuff in your environment that's collecting cobwebs? Lighten it all up! 
Change is occurring fast & frequently for many of us in this beautiful year of transformation and we cannot hold on to what's unnecessary. Practice being light in all ways...Make Space!

Me, MySkirt and I

Rediscovering the charm of a skirt...
after a long n' cold winter it's a little luxury to enjoy the unique, female pleasure to wear a skirt!
Long or short (but be careful! after 18 years is absolutely prohibited to wear a mini-skirt) with flats or heels and a simple white shirt...there is nothing more charming than a woman with a skirt!
Enjoy it!

NYC in a spring dress!

i've had a lot of things to do today but...how can you miss the first day of spring (19C)?!?!?

i went out for a sunny lunch at my fav corner :) Sant Ambroeus for a delicious and fresh quinoa salad and then at L'Arte del Gelato for the first (and best) gelato of the season, buonissimo!

On my way back to work i've had a mellow walk on the Highline, for me is the best park of the town...seriously, is the greatest, coolest and most welcoming green area of NYC and is unique, you cannot see anything similar in the world!

Now from there you can see the works in progress for the New Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking designed by  Renzo Piano (as italian i'm uber proud)...it's amazing to feel an area that is changing daily under your feet and realize how many people are woking together to bring in our life beauty and art!!! 

Love it...

ART in Progress - New Whitney Museum by Renzo Piano

Los Angeles.I.AMO!!!

just back in NYC after a wonderful weekend in LA with my amazing friends from Milano/Paris/New York...

perfect weather (27C), perfect crew and i've discovered the perfect places to enjoy our little holiday!

I love my friends because they always Follow MU! Soooooo here i'd like to share with you a short list of some great spot i suggest you!

Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, very nice (better than that one in NY that's a bit tacky) and inside there is Asia de Cuba (the best calamari salad) perfect for breakfast and lunch!...few block down there is also the Andaz Hotel with a nice little pool on the top and a good view of the town!

For a mellow dinner on Sunset Boulevard with a french touch i suggest you Pour Four.

If you go for shopping in Santa Monica (strongly suggested) and you'd like to have an "unfancy" but pure italian plate of pasta with a glass of Canayili Vermentino ;) try Valentino (the chef is an adorable guy from Sardinia) 

For a brunch under the sun and great view Gladstones is perfetto (also in Santa Monica) and then you can follow to Malibu' (MaliMU eheheh) to enjoy a sunset on the sea at Moonshadows!

If you are chilling out in Melrose (my fav area) you can go for lunch at Fig&Olive (food not unique but the atmosphere is adorable and the light relaxing and fresh), then have a dinner at Il Piccolino, buonissima mozzarella in town or at my beloved Cecconi's (the same of London) and his "cicchetti" (a tipical aperitizer from Venice), it's a rare place where you can find the perfect italian food in a "people watching" spot!

Or if you are looking for "oysters with view" in a mellow place go to Cafe' del Rey in Marina del Rey (perfect from breakfast to dinner!)

Shopping time...honestly LA is not really "inspiring" for me, too many flagship store but as a tireless hunter i've found some little "treasure" also here in Rodeo Drive: Ronherman for silk dresses and tops, Jill Roberts for the best selection of european interesting brands (above all Issa dresses from London); Pom Pom for interiors and accessorize (suuuper shabbychic) and The Organic Pharmacy for natural skinceuticals and a raw smoothies :)

...see you there in June, now back in NY for a couple of week!

Love iu'
