Gelupo e amici

So here we are at Gelupo. An amazing gelato place in Soho. You have to try the pistachio icecream and blood orange sorbet. It's so yummy. And they have a large selection of granita.

Away and reunited, in London!

We have been away for the last few months as we have been busy preparing for Rasha's wedding! Yes, she is married now and more importantly, she has moved to London!!! (To be with me ha!). We will show you some photos below (that's if you haven't seen them yet on Facebook), and by the way the photos are taken by the talented Karen and Josette, www.karenandjosette.com.

We are now sitting together and writing this post in my favourite neighbourhood Notting Hill.

I am so excited to move to London , it has always been one of my favourite cities.

Dima, you know I love trendy and cute places, and now that I don't have a job I have plenty of time to hop from one coffee shop to another and from one museum to the next, so maybe you can give me some tips? :-)

D: I love walking around the city and in the parks. I love the different weekend markets, the diversity of people and the fact there are many museums and exhibitions.

I am sitting here in this super cute restaurant called Pane e Acqua, having dinner, for one. You would love the place , it is so nice, all white/beige/light grey colours, combination of furniture and on the food menu they state where u can buy the furniture from if u like any.
I ordered spelt and barley pasta with shrimps, it is yummy!! And now eating my dessert, Baked figs with chocolate and almonds! Yum!!
Wish you were with me!

UrbanJewelry

Dee, check out this Urban Jewellery” campaign, which integrates over sized pieces of jewelry into public, urban space. Stone roadblocks become cufflinks. Pendants are placed upon chain barriers to create “necklaces”. i think that it is appropriate to accessorize public space in the same manner we would accessorize ourselves. This work is by Liesbet Bussche in Amsterdam.
