Rustic Style Inspiration

During my web browsing, I found some interesting images of rustic style interiors. 

Aren't they inspiring? Do you like rustic style?

Currently Obsessed With...

Several times I find myself searching for a certain pair of earrings, a ring or a bracelet among all my jewelry, waisting a lot of time and leaving all messy. Sometimes I find things I did not even remember to have. Isn't this strange?! 

This is why recently I started browsing jewelry boxes... And here are some of my favourite items.

Birthday Brunch

As already mentioned here, last saturday I hosted a brunch for my 30th birthday. I welcomed my closest friends at my place and shared the best meal of the day. What can I say? It was really fun and everyone enjoyed the moment, I am very happy we celebrated in this way.

Planning a brunch with friends is easy, fun and provides a great opportunity to slow down and enjoy the moment with the people you love. Here are some tips I would like to share about a brunch planning:

1. Choose date and time
2. Invite friends or family members with a phone call
3. Make a list of the dishes and beverages you will offer and start shop all the things you need
4. Clean your house in advance
5. Think about decorations and choose a color theme
6. Prepare as much as possible ahead of time, so you can prepare yourself without hurry in the morning
7. Set the table and decorate your home
8. Welcome your guests with enthusiasm
9. Serve your guests, then yourself
10. Sit down, relax and enjoy!

Halloween Pumpkin Muffins

I am a huge fan of every dish that includes pumpkin (pumpkin risotto is one of these), especially in this period, at the beginning of fall and of all the comfortable traditions that this season brings. This time I used pumpkin to prepare an easy sweet treat that really surprised me with its flavour! 

If you want to taste them during Halloween celebration and give them a funny look, you just have to add some little DIY ghost on the top of them using some toothpicks, the little ones will surely enjoy!

Sono una grande fan di ogni piatto fatto con la zucca (il risotto con la zucca è uno di questi), specialmente in questo periodo, all'inizio dell'autunno e di tutte le tradizioni che la stagione porta. Questa volta ho usato la zucca per preparare un dolcetto facile che mi ha veramente sorpresa con il suo sapore! 

Se volete assaggiare questi muffin durante la festa di Halloween e dare loro un'aspetto divertente, non dovete far altro che aggiungere dei piccoli fantasmini in carta applicati su uno stuzzicadente, i più piccoli apprezzeranno sicuramente!

Saturday in Milan

We spent our saturday in the beautiful Milan, browsing shops and walking along the crowded city streets. After buying a new pair of boots, we pampered ourselves with a healthy snack.

Five Things

Finally bought this book at Anthropologie during our last travel to NYC, I love it!

I really love fall sundays like today, the weather is mild and you still have the chance to enjoy the sunlight outside before the boring rainy season starts... Time to relax, think about new ideas and enjoy friends company.

Turning 30

Image via my board

Yes, in two weeks I will be turning 30 years old. How do I feel about it? I feel pretty good, happy. Many things happened and changed in my life, but  now I feel like I am accomplishing all the things I ever wanted: have a great boyfriend, live in our own personally styled apartment, doing an interesting job. I feel much happier and confident in my thirties than I did in my twenties, so I imagine it can only get better from here and that life can offer me other gorgeous things!

If you are interested in discovering what you should have and should know at the time of 30, do not miss this complete list published by Glamour magazine... I really agree with everything, but mostly with points 12 of should have and 9 of should know :)

At this point, I need to get my "sweet thirty" party planned... Any suggestion?

How do you feel in your thirties? How did you celebrate this moment? I am curious to know!
