I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.
Posted on September 20, 2017September 20, 2017

I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.

I went to Florence for the first time during my second vacation in Italy.  I stayed for a couple of days. My second trip was a few years later during the first month I lived in Italy.  I couldn’t wait to leave both times.  The second trip was over nine years ago and I believed … Continue reading I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.

Io Adoro – E’ Stile Bookstore

I’m still getting to know my neighborhood.  One Sunday morning, I jogged past an interesting store window and made a mental note to check it out. Oh man, this place is going to be an issue.  E’ Stile is a concept bookstore focusing on art, fashion, and interior design/architecture. They have a GREAT book selection.  … Continue reading Io Adoro – E’ Stile Bookstore

Life in Rome – This Time I am Ready for Ferragosto

First, I’ve just returned to Rome from a business trip to the States and the Caribbean.  Below are some random observations: Los Angeles traffic continues to get worse. How is this possible. Target is great. J.Crew.  What is happening? I’ve been a fan since the 80s. Something is amiss. Why is Ben and Jennifer’s former … Continue reading Life in Rome – This Time I am Ready for Ferragosto

Life in Rome – Chez Dédé Opening Party

A few years ago I wrote about how much I adore the boutique accessories label founded by Andrea Ferolla and Daria Rein, Chez Dédé. There has been a lot of retail space turnover in our neighborhood.  Antique stores, artisans, etc., are shutting down and Subway fast food restaurants, and other weird sandwich shops are taking … Continue reading Life in Rome – Chez Dédé Opening Party

Life in Rome – The Flaminio Flea Market

Borghetto Flaminio is not as well known as the famous Porto Portese market.  The latter has more furniture but Flaminio is the market to check out for authentic vintage/used designer clothes and interesting tableware. As with any flea market there could be some fakes, but this market has a good reputation.  Many of the vendors … Continue reading Life in Rome – The Flaminio Flea Market

Weekend Inspiration – All of the Lights – Campo de’ Fiori

For me the day after Thanksgiving has nothing to do with shopping. It means I can start playing Christmas carols. This probably comes as a shock to people who don’t know me well, as I appear to be a person who loves to shop.  It’s even part of my job. However, the whole Black Friday … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – All of the Lights – Campo de’ Fiori

My Fall/Winter 2013 Wish List

I know there is a huge difference between want and need.  Many times I catch myself making statements such as, “that skirt needs to be in my closet.” Hello, no it doesn’t.  I would like it to be there. That is a want. I have written before about my lack of clothes for cold weather.  … Continue reading My Fall/Winter 2013 Wish List

Stylish Simplicity – Paola Navone for Crate & Barrel

One of my favorite American stores has recently announced their collaboration with the incredible, Milan-based architect/interior designer, Paola Navone.  To say I’m a fan of her work is a huge understatement. I would like to buy so many things in this collection.  The darker blues remind me of Rome at dusk or the color of … Continue reading Stylish Simplicity – Paola Navone for Crate & Barrel

Work In Progress – Trastevere – Rome, Italy

Great news here at AGD. The house in Tuscany is almost done and I’ve signed two new clients. For one project, I’m helping my client redo his terrace. The other project also includes working on a terrace and collaborating with my client to furnish her new apartment. Both apartments are in Trastevere. One thing I … Continue reading Work In Progress – Trastevere – Rome, Italy
