Rome. Decorating. Stylish Simplicity.
Ciao Bloggisti, How was the rest of your summer? The rientro was/is intense but I’m loving this back-to-school vibe. Folks are rested and ready. My summer was pretty uneventful, except for a visit from my younger sister. Daniella was speaking at conference in Hamburg, Germany and decided to return to the States from Rome. It … Continue reading Life in Rome – A Day Trip to Ischia
Ciao Bloggisti, How’s the summer treating you so far? As I wrote in my previous post, I’m trying to improve my attitude and to be more social.

I rarely get sick but when I do it seems as if my colds have a need to make up for lost time or something. When … Continue reading Life in Rome – My Post Milan Funk
