I never loved much jewellery with names ingraved or similar, maybe because of my “privacy” mania. But when I saw Laura Gravestock’s bracelet I don’t know why but I had to have it. It helps the fact that the gold plated version is £80, which is still affordable. You can […]

Even a business trip can be an excuse to try new restaurants and good food. Last week I had a very demanding week in Vienna so by Saturday with my colleagues we decided we really deserved some confort food. And what we had was really the King of Confort food. […]

Maybe you do not go very often to Lake Maggiore but as I have lots of friends who transit on the highway from Switzerland to Italy so maybe a good address for a wonderful meal on their way can be helpful. I was near Arona this summer and my sister […]
