Birthday Brunch Planning!

This year I want to celebrate my birthday with my closest friends in a different way, so lately I started planning a rich breakfast/brunch at my place. I want to share with my girls a moment of relax, pure indulgence and fun! 

Here you will find images that are really helping me with planning the event!

What do you think? Have you ever celebrated at the time of breakfast or brunch?

Let me know!

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!

Travel updates...

I can't believe that exactly 3 month passed since I wrote my last post here. 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.

So... let's start with exciting news!
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.
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.
