Where did Spring end up?
..please tell me some sunshines reached you because here it’s quite cloudy :(
As you might remember we thought it would be great to enjoy our family’s villa near the Lago di Garda and relax there for a week.. apparently the weather man had other plans for us.
What bothers me most is that I promised to Rosa and Indiana they could play for hours in the...

Hello loves
hope you are all doing good!
I just had the most delicious lunch and thought to share it with you :)
In Milan is incredibily hot and I could easily go through the day by only eating italian gelato but I don’t think that’s a good advice. So I got back to my favorite fresh and light salad!
This is by far the most versatile meal for summer time and it takes only seconds...

Good morning ♥
Fancy a quick deliciously healthy smoothie?
Hands down this is by far the best smoothie to start the day..just look at it!
It’s proved that colour in food does miracles for our mood and this is a pleasure for eyes and soul!
To create the Green layer I used:
1 Banana
1/2 Mango
1 handful of baby spinach
Put the ingredients in your blender and until smooth. Pour into...

Aprile dolce dormire
..it’s an Italian idiom to describe the lazy mornings we all have in Spring!
Apparently not only humans have days like these ;)
Today is really hot in Milan and coffee doesn’t make it beter, I guess it’s time to switch it with fresh homemade smoothies, which I love! What about you, how do you struggle the reaaaly hot days?
Now it’s time to get ready, I have a shopping...

Hi humans,
…as you may guess mamma is away and we took the control of the situation. Of course is not us typing (our little paws do not help) but our nanny F. is helping us out, I guess she has no choice. Our mum loves us so much… every now and then she travels to different countries to find the best cat cookies for us! Of course we miss her a lot but we know she does it for a noble...

Mama I missed the plane..
..argghhh…
I pretty much look like a zombie right now!
This morning I arrived at the airport with a delay of only 10min. which were enough to make me miss my flight.. can you believe it, just 10min?!
So now, here I am waiting for the next available flight of the 18:50..pfff.
Not only I had to spent the entire day in Milan but I also had to pay double ticket, which obviously cost double its...

Firenze
Hey sweets! We are back in Milan after our weekend in Florence and I have been in a kind of a hibernation for the last 2 days..we mostly stayed in our hotel room since we’ve already visited the attraction of the centre so it was a great way to celebrate my birth day and get some relax in one of the most beautiful cities of Europe! Firenze is so rich of history and offers an amount of things to...

Champions League
I am not a fan of footbal but when you get invited in the main tribune of the San Siro stadium it’s impossible to say no.. plus is the semifinal of Champions League! We are also guests of the Champions Club which is hosting an exclusive dinner before the match..who knows maybe Mr. Berlusconi is gonna be there too ;) (he owns Milan so..).

Tea at Harrods.
Good morning loves,
The blog has been quite silent lately and I apologize for that but I’ve been so busy lately taking planes and no time left for fun :)
I still have to show you some pics from London and since I am that little sucker when it comes to shopping, we spent an entire day in Harrods.. of course I allowed a pause to my poor husband and we enjoyed a cup of tea at their Tea Room.

London Shopping.
Finally back home!
I’m so exhausted after our trip in London, we walked that much… mostly for shopping as we’ve already seen most of the city in the past.
London is perfect for shopping and food (I’ll show some of my faves restaurants later) and we got the best of both of it! We spent an entire day in Harrods only, love that place..
We also visited Carnaby Street...
