Dear Lovers of good taste and great interiors,

Today we will open a discussion on an essential and complex aspect, which is COUNTERTOPS! Foremost, it will regard the selection of countertops for kitchens and bathrooms: which are the best materials on the market today, visual aspect and durability, colors and composition, country of origin, costs, and maintenance. 

All of this we will see in this post, one at a time. Moreover, if you are more of a listener than a reader, then check out my video on YouTube dedicated to this topic, the link you will find here on my blog. 

This topic is a very complex one; I would like using fewer words and more facts, going straight to describing general aspects you must consider, and then detailing every type of countertops, emphasizing its characteristics, individuality, pros and cons, colors, price range, and maintenance aspects. 

I love BLUE in all its shades! It reminds me of the water that gives life to all, of the ocean with its depts and waves, of the blue sky in the summer and of the night sky to contemplate stars and think of how the universe was born. It is a magical, mystical, and deep color.

That is why, in this second week of May, I was inspired to collect some decorative pieces to bring into your interiors, so it will remind us every day that life has a profound purpose. It is continuously evolving as the shades of blue are changing gradually from the lightest to the deepest, connecting with our feelings and emotions. 

When do we need the service of an ADVOCATE? When we have a problem to solve. So, the person to whom we will feel confident to delegate a question must transmit confidence, professionalism, trustworthiness, have a respectful attitude, and be ready to give the best of advice and assistance to solve the issue.

All these characteristics we can transmit from the first moment through our ATTITUDE (the way we walk and the way we speak) and the way we DRESS (clothes, accessories, and curate looks). All these factors must be in resonance, coherence to our provided services. 

For the last two months of lockdown, I almost forgot what is like to enter a Sephora or Douglas shop for some beauty updates…

I cannot call myself as being “a beauty addict.” Still, I am a “beauty lover”. )) I love beautiful products, that offer quality merged with a nicely designed case-holder, that will allow myself, as a woman, to feel a little more special. It is the kind of cuddle every girl out there deserves, at least from time to time.

This week’s selection of interior design pieces is based on natural materials, rustic appeal, and timeless design, all Made in Italy!

We choose quality over quantity, natural over synthetic polymers, and raw over polished. The latest tendencies in design, lifestyle, and fashion are going towards sustainability, ecology, and preservation. That is why this week’s selection will be made of pieces of great values and individuality:

Hi Beautiful Ladies,

This week Italy entered the phase-2 after COVID-19 lockdown, and we are stepping towards “new normality.” Besides, we are moving towards summertime, and now the temperatures are up to + 30°C / 86°F, but soon will get hotter. 

So, I felt inspired to make the change of my seasonal wardrobe some weeks ago and had the time to think about what I’ve missed and need to buy to complete it. I took a look for pieces to wear in an office job/meeting, for a walk in the city for business or leisure, and summer on the Mediterranean coast, on the beachside. 

Ciao Guys!

This week’s favorites will be a selection of table, suspension, and floor lamp of a modern countryside home appeal. The preference is given to the simplicity of shapes and ornaments, natural materials, and neutrals. 

Let's talk about colors!
Today I want to share with you my reasons why I LOVE RED as a color, and hopefully, I will inspire you to love it too. There is no other color that can bring so much power, energy, and passion into your life, more than this one.

KARTELL is a beautiful Italian company, where at its heart were always merged innovation, design, and technology. Since its beginnings, the company has collaborated for over 70 years with big names in Architecture and Designs, such as Alessandro Mendini, Patricia Urquiola, Philippe Starck, Tokujin Yoshioka, Antonio Citterio, and more. From these unions were born many unique design objects, today available to the broad public.

Like many of you, I love to surround myself with B E A U T I F U L things, and S H O E S are one of them! Moreover, I am continually looking for interesting pieces and experiment with different styles to find my DNA in fashion. Sometimes I make great choices; other times, I fail miserably. But I accept that as part of the process.
