A city we instantly fell in love with!

As soon as we arrived in Florence, we knew there was something unique about this city. Everything clicked,it was love at first sight. Florence had everything we had dreamed of Italy, from its gorgeous alleys and squares to the best gelato we had tasted in all of the country and very friendly people. This city is ideal for walking and sights seeing, visiting museums and exhibitions, and enjoying a meal and glass of wine on the terrace of one of the many inviting restaurants and cafés lining the Piazza della Signoria, the Piazza della Reppublica or the Piazza Santa Croce.

Ph. 1 & 3 Designer Shopping - Via Tornabuoni This is designer alley! All of the most famous Italian and international designers have stores on Florence’s most elegant street. Among the many stores, you will find Armani, Bulgari, Celine, Gianni Versace, Gucci, and Prada. Stay tuned to check what's inside my shoppingbag!

Ph. 2 & 4 Set in the heart of Florence, Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo dominates the city with its enormous dome. Its sheer size was typical of Florentine determination to lead in all things, and to this day, no other building stands taller in the city.

Ph. 6 One of my favorites was Ponte Vecchio, a bridge unlike anything I’ve ever seen before; shops are built along both sides of the medieval stone bridge, many with an extension so that the shops hang over the river. The oldest bridge in Florence was built in 1345, it was the only bridge to escape being blown up during World War II. There have always been workshops on the bridge, in 1593 the owners were evicted by Duke Ferdinando 1 because of the noise and stench they created. The workshops were rebuilt and let to more decorous goldsmiths, and the shops lining and overhanging the bridge continue to specialize in new and antique jewellery to this day.

Ph 5&7. The most famous gardens in the city are Florence’s Boboli Gardens, which can be found behind the Pitti Palace. I was just behind the Pitti Palace when it started to rain. I wish I had taken some photos of the garden itself. Anway way if you happen to be there on a sunny day, you can easily spend a good couple of hours here, wandering around one of the largest and most elegant Italian style gardens in the country.

DESIGNER OUTLET SHOPPING

Today I have visited the designer Outlet 'The mall'. It is located in Leccio, about 20 km south of Florence heading to Valdarno-Arezzo. Look at the gorgeous landscape and the truth is.. I was just standing next to the parking space in front of the outlet stores. Amazing ha? Among the green hills of Tuscany, this fashion outlet houses 20 boutiques. You can find several famous fashion outlets such as Prada, Miu miu, YSL, Gucci, Armani Jeans, Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino, Tod's and other designers. Each store has a few items that are special offers and are huge bargains. Like these Miu miu sandals (50 EUR)! I have also bought Gucci boots for a ridiculous price of 150 EUR instead of 1300 EUR. You will be in heaven with all these shopping options. This place is the place for serious designer shoppers.

Pinch Me.. Im in Tuscany!

Tuscany is a place that has a postcard view anywhere in the landscape, is famous for its authentic and uncontaminated a tourist can see. When you go for your holidays in Tuscany, you will realize that it is like living a scene from a movie or fantasy. It has everything that will surprise you with its vast agricultural land, vineyards, rolling hills, green landscapes, castles, monuments carved and sand roads.

Tuscan Villa rental options are available in abundance and progress to ensure a villa of their choice, location and specifications. It's the best way to experience the real Tuscany, options are available catering villas, cottages, apartments, villas in Tuscany, renovated villas castles and complete in all respects. It is a smart choice and offer great value for money.

I'm staying in Pentolina, this old attractive stone farmhouse which set on a peaceful hillside with panoramic views and surrounded by a lovely garden and olive groves. The house is on two floors with a spacious arched veranda overlooking the garden and a swimming pool. This property is the perfect place for a completely restful holiday.... I think I'm in heaven.

rainy days

JUST ANOTHER RAINY DAY

However, like nature needs the rain to grow, you might need a little rain to relax, slow down and re-charge.

I can’t really think about a better way to spend a rainy day. Just put on something really comfortable, put on the kettle, get yourself comfortable on the couch. Ooh I'm definitely staying home today.

But I’m willing to bet that there is no better feeling in the world than the way you feel after spending the whole day outside in the rain, followed by a hot shower and then a nice hot cup of cocoa!

Anyway enjoy your weekend! ♡

Mother's Day Special DIY

Unfortunately not everyone (including myself) is capable of perfect "free-pouring" latte art masterpieces like a champion barista can since it requires practice, practice and more practice! How about using your own customized stencils!

All you need is:
1. Paper ( I have used Parchment paper)
2. Siccor
3. cappuccino / latte macchiato / Chocolade milk
4. Cocoa powder

Directions:
Fold the paper 1 time and cut a heart in the middle. Place the paper on the coffee cup and sprinkle some cocoa powder on top. Et voila! Your own customized coffee stencil.

Are Your Leg’s Ready for Summer Shorts?

Now that we have entered the month of May, you are going to be bombarded with advertisements for razors, waxing and hair removal creams. All of this is to ensure that you have smooth, shiny legs you can be proud of!

What hair removal method should you choose? The answer to that question is based on personal preference. However, waxing has been proven to leave you with smooth and shiny legs. This is because it pulls hair from the root, providing you with hairless skin for up to 8 weeks! So why not let a trained professional fix the hair issue? It’s quick and long lasting, plus you wont have to worry about reading directions wrong and possibly messing up! This way you can stop questioning what method to use and get back to the more important question…shorts or a skirt?
