A small and cute New York apartment - New York interior and style

A few weeks ago Apartment Therapy published this New York home tour. It is a gorgeous small apartment owned by a couple of New York professionist. I am in love with every single detail of the apartment. the chalk board wall, the division of the living room where office nooks and eating nooks create a perfect balance of the different areas. Last but not least the intelligent use of the relaxing colors make it look so calm and elegant, well illuminated and functional. It is a style I would really like to reproduce in my house as well. The apartment is situated in Manhattan, but it has that zen and minimalist touch that really makes the difference. I am in love with all these elements mixed up together. Have a wonderful week-end!!!!!

Fashion tips for a gorgeous spring style

Dear friends, I have been so busy lately, with no time at all for my favorite activity, blogging and sharing inspiring pictures and beautiful things. I have a lot of pictures of beautiful objects found at some wonderful flea markets in Rome. Just be patient and stay tuned!. Moreover, I have been through some DIY projects that I just can't wait to publish. 

Even though the still cold and rainy days aren't over yet I am ready to welcome springtime! I will be in a fashion mood this month because of some joyful events that will take place for some friends of mine.  I have to chose an outfit for a wedding party. In the meanwhile, let me share with you my favorite casual looks spotted on different sites and blogs. Some of these pictures reflect what I am wearing lately. Which is your favorite one?

Italian rustic beauty - Ville d'Italia

Umbria is one of the greenest regions of Italy, it is called the Green Umbria. This is where Saint Frances and Sainte Claire were born, just to mention only two of them, spiritual places where people go in search of inspiration. I have lived in one of the most beautiful umbrian cities in the word, Orvieto, for a few years and I feel blessed for that wonderful experience. There are gorgeous villas band bed band breakfasts in the countryside of the region ideal places for relaxing week-ends. I should dedicate a new series to the Italian villas..... What do you think? 

Here is a great Umbrian spot, a wonderful restructured villa where touches of industrial and contemporary style mix up with rustic details. Hope you enjoy!
