One day in Paris

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! 

After having enjoyed the Tour view from Trocadéro, we had breakfast at the storic Angelina 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.

Defenitely can't wait to come back to Paris again!

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!
