</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have you ever done a one day trip in an European city? I did, few days ago, in the beautiful Paris. We landed at Beauvais airport at 7.45 am and flew back at 10.30 pm, I can assure you can do it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After having enjoyed the Tour view from Trocadéro, we had breakfast at the storic <a href="http://www.angelina-paris.fr/#/home/" target="_blank">Angelina</a> cafè on Rue Rivoli and then had a stroll under the rain in Rue Saint Honorè and Place Vendôme. After lunch we walked along the street of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and them moved to the Jardin des Tuileries: in that moment the pouring rain stopped and the sun came out of the clouds giving us an unbelievable lilac-blue sky.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Defenitely can't wait to come back to Paris again!</div><br />

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?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is why recently I started browsing jewelry boxes... And here are some of my favourite items. </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As already mentioned <a href="http://silkchocolate.blogspot.it/2012/10/birthday-brunch-planning.html" target="_blank">here</a>, 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.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ol><li>Choose date and time</li><li>Invite friends or family members with a phone call</li><li>Make a list of the dishes and beverages you will offer and start shop all the things you need</li><li>Clean your house in advance</li><li>Think about decorations and choose a color theme</li><li>Prepare as much as possible ahead of time, so you can prepare yourself without hurry in the morning</li><li>Set the table and decorate your home</li><li>Welcome your guests with enthusiasm</li><li>Serve your guests, then yourself</li><li>Sit down, relax and enjoy!</li></ol><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">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. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">This time I used pumpkin to prepare an easy sweet treat that really surprised me with its flavour! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">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!</span></div>

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! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
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!</div>

We spent our saturday in the beautiful Milan, browsing shops and walking along the crowded city streets. After buying a <a href="http://silkchocolate.blogspot.it/2012/10/five-things.html" target="_blank">new pair of boots</a>, we pampered ourselves with a healthy snack.</div>

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!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are interested in discovering what you should have and should know at the time of 30, do not miss this <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/24/turning-30-30-things-every-woman-should-have-and-should-know_n_1447368.html" target="_blank">complete list</a> published by Glamour magazine... I really agree with everything, but mostly with points 12 of should have and 9 of should know :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this point, I need to get my "sweet thirty" party planned... Any suggestion?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How do you feel in your thirties? How did you celebrate this moment? I am curious to know!</div>

As mentioned before I changed job and consequently my daily rythms changed as well. However I am happy to write again and hope to be able to share more from now on.<br />
<br />
So... let's start with exciting news!<br />
In 11 days I will be flying to NYC and staying there for one week, can't wait! I visited the city during last summer, suddently fell in love and, once back home, I felt that I needed to go there again. I would also live there, If I could.<br />
Last year we enjoyed the city mostly through a "hungry" tourist approach, this time I would like to live it in a more relaxed way. Some of my goals for this holiday are to shoot beautiful and unusual pictures, visit the Metropolitan Museum, walk along the High Line and get the best pancakes and mac'n'cheese.<br />
<br />
If a New Yorker is reading, please note that every advice is well accepted!

These last days have been really challenging and stressful for me since I had to start searching for a new job. It seems I already found one, that is indeed good news, but what I felt lately was like I lost my comfort zone. I have to prove to myself that I am able to start something new, so let's see what the future brings!</div>

Few weeks ago I ate the best sandwich ever, a brie and pear sandwich. Even though I am cheese lover, I never tried a combination with pear before and I was definitely captured. So today I am suggesting you this sandwich in a mini size, that you can enjoy with your friends at home or with your guy while watching a good movie on the couch! You just need some toast bread (I used a gluten free one), French Brie, a pear, fresh arugula and some cocktail sauce. The combination is fabulous!</div>

I rarely wear ballet flats, but this J.Crew classic leather ballet flat looks so stylish and comfy! They are offering it in a rainbow color range, how to resist?! I mostly love the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/ballets/PRDOVR~36243/36243.jsp">soft fuchisa</a>, the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/ballets/PRDOVR~36243/36243.jsp">burnt sienna</a> and the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/ballets/PRDOVR~49214/49214.jsp">metallic gold</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I will buy my pair soon (shipping to Italy is just €11.95)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have one of these flats? Or which one would you pick?</div>

My weekend was amazing since my boyfriend and I spent two days in the beautiful Venice. I visited Venice for the first time when I was just a little girl and did not remember how stunning it was!</div>

Other than very romantic, Venice is rich of art and history. Give a look at my photos to understand what I am talking about...</div>

I suggest you to visit this city at least once in your life and when you do, don't forget to take a waterbus ride (or if you prefer a romantic ride in gondola) both during the day to visit the city and see the most famous corners and palaces, and during the evening to enjoy a beautiful sunset and all the lights through the Canal Grande.</div>

Few days ago I made up my mind and finally bought the iPhone 4s.</div>

After two years with my Blackberry I thought I <i>needed</i> a more efficient device and once started using it, I was pleasantly surprised as I expected.</div>

2011 was both fun and exciting: my boyfriend and I spent our first year in our house, we had a fabulous holiday in NYC and in the east coast of USA, I attended photography and Photoshop classes, began painting on canvas and started this blog almost a month ago!<br />
This time of the year is usually dedicated to past year reviews, new purposes, hopes and wishes. In 2012 I hope to improve my skills and to be able to travel again to USA.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we will be heading to our friend's apartment for dinner, this will be a quiet, but fun NYE!<br />
<br />
What are your plans for NYE? What are your dreams for the new year?<br />
I wish you a 2012 full of love, health, happiness and exciting new adventures!<br />

New Year's Eve is almost here: you know the date, the place, have the right dress and accessories. But have you already thought about the right hairstyle? Browsing through the web I spotted unique looks: from neat and elegant buns to messy knots, from alluring ponytails to side braids, but also lovely loose waves and chic ponytails.</div>

This weekend me and my boyfriend wanted to try a new kind of breakfast and so decided to prepare pancakes. Since we tasted - and loved - the original pancakes during our holidays in USA (once <a href="http://www.bloomsnewyorkdeli.com/">here</a> and once <a href="http://www.ihop.com/">here</a>), we tried to recreate a gluten-free version, adding banana and a few raspberries. Though it was our first trial I think the result was really good! The sweet smell wafted through the entire house and we both felt it was a perfect saturday morning!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjam21FZxgDzQvsMsRcAsn5lyay6bpLc3ohxYv0Hn_deeZRHgsqFbBMHrM-6hJGU8_TwYfHmIeMoPnu5idH_t_rSibC8-NDwztF9huatYyKxkvPI0MB1HOayZEKEEn_rKyWAhPSS_DqxJs/s1600/raspberry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjam21FZxgDzQvsMsRcAsn5lyay6bpLc3ohxYv0Hn_deeZRHgsqFbBMHrM-6hJGU8_TwYfHmIeMoPnu5idH_t_rSibC8-NDwztF9huatYyKxkvPI0MB1HOayZEKEEn_rKyWAhPSS_DqxJs/s1600/raspberry.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The recipe is pretty simple and this is what you need to prepare them:<br />
200 gr of gluten free flour<br />
2 teaspoons of baking powder<br />
half teaspoon of salt<br />
1 teaspoon of sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
250 ml of milk<br />
3 tablespoon of oilseed<br />
1 banana<br />
fresh raspberries for garnish<br />
maple syrup for garnish<br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, and oil. </span><br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; then add banana between each layer and garnish with some maple syrup and fresh raspberries.</span><br />
