Snapshots – Salina, Sicily

It took me forever to get to Salina. I took a car (at 5:00 a.m.) to the airport to fly to Palermo, a taxi from the Palermo airport to the central train station, the train from Palermo to Milazzo, a ferry from Milazzo to Lipari, a ferry from Lipari to Salina. Once I arrived, I … Continue reading Snapshots – Salina, Sicily

Weekend Inspiration – A Dip In The Pool – Salina, Sicily

Just as I predicted, only a few weeks after everyone and their mother was complaining about the cold wet weather, summer arrived with a vengeance. It’s outrageously hot in Rome thanks to winds blowing in from Africa.   It’s no joke people, and it’s only mid-June. Oh Dio. Last weekend I finally made it to Sicily.   … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – A Dip In The Pool – Salina, Sicily

Work In Progress – Trastevere – Rome, Italy

No one really knows what makes a song THE song of the summer. Is it the timing, the melody, the lyrics, sheer luck, or a combination of all these things? One thing we know for sure is you cannot create “the song of the summer.” It just happens. Pop culture, especially music, is so fragmented.  … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – Get Lucky

Buon Viaggio – Bologna, Italy

I’ve been to Bologna once before for a very quick day trip with friends.   This time I went for work. Bologna is consistently rated as one the most liveable cities on the planet.  The cuisine is amazing, there are many companies based in the area in a variety of sectors, and a well educated population … Continue reading Buon Viaggio – Bologna, Italy

Weekend Inspiration – Prancercise

I first heard about this workout on Jezebel.com.   Since then Joanne’s video has gone viral and she’s become famous. I’m not sure why this video, which was shot in 1989, is so popular now.   Or why she’s wearing what looks like a business jacket. One friend (from Florida) said, “Of course she’s from my home … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – Prancercise

Stylish Simplicity – Dolce & Gabbana Striped A-Line Skirt

I was recently in the lovely city of Bologna for work.  I saw this skirt in the window of Dolce & Gabbana and it stopped me in my tracks. Photo: Closet Candies Stripes are huge this summer.  I adore them but must be careful with horizontal stripes unless I want to look like a Weeble.  … Continue reading Stylish Simplicity – Dolce & Gabbana Striped A-Line Skirt
