♥ ravelry and my new fave

Hi honey, I wanna share with you my last fave and what I discovered yesterday, I'm too excited, I'm feeling like a child has just got a new toy!

I used to knit and sew a lot but after the university when I started to work I left this my passion bit by bit. I wanna show you a secret: vigutto, check that out!! This is my old blog/brand, it was cool few years ago but in the last years I just sewes something behind order. The last best product was fabric laptopcase set: vigcase.

Anyway, now I'd like to kint something for my little baby and I found several super blogs and an amazing social network: revelry! It is a place just for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, weavers and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools, project and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration. I found such a lot of inspirations!! but also I can't wait to add my works I did in the past.
Stay tunned ... I'm going to share everything with you.

On another side I'm going to change the headline of my blog so ... I need inspirations!

♥ drin drin in portobello


Hi all,
I decided to add a yummy post today. I bumped into this fantastic gelateria just last weekend and I was first really impressed about the design of the shop and the graphic they have used about brand, sign, packaging and all paper stuff. After that I couldn't help to taste the icecream and ... it was heavenly! OMG!!! It was so soft, delicate, creamy ... such a delicacy!

DrinDrin is located in the heart of Portobello Market right next door to the Electric Cinema (189 Portobello Road London W11 2ED) and it's open every day till late (11 p.m.).

When I got home I immediately checked thier website and it seems they spent a great deal of time to create recipes from most refined artisanal Italian tradition, the gelato is completely natural. They try to avoid emulsifiers and non-natural thickeners. You can taste gelato or sorbetti as well.

If you are are around don't miss it!!!

This is my big passione: shoes. I love them (and bag too) more then other other accessories.
The best designer ever is Giuseppe Zanotti (3 - 4), have a look at those stunning creatures: white sandals with a big classy flower on the front, perfect for a bride and the other one more everyday use, in gimpy style, they are perfect for every occasion. The orange shoes are by Bionda Castana (1), it's a new finding I did thank to a girl friend of mine. Orange satin is a special choice for the summer. In black you can see a creation of Azzedine Alaïa (2), a Turkish designer. I really thik this style is amazing and unique.

♥ flags&bunting

You already know I’m totally addicted of flags and buntings. So I went hunting for them around the web and I nicely found a lot of really cute handmade and super-cool things. I decided to do a summary of them such as a post and share them with you.

Some inspirations:

1) Cake Bunting by Kiki La Ru
Kiki La Ru's Cake Bunting makes cakes look extra special and festive! It’s really something special and unique, a real eye-catcher! She says: Every time I bring a cake topped with my Cake Bunting to a celebration, it gets a lot of 'ooohs' and 'aaaahs.'
2) Little Newspaper bunting by Corikindered
3) Valentine's Day Garland by Lavander. Use different type of papers and choose the size of the flags then sew them together and use them for embellishing your room adding a little love or paste them on your Valentine’s card, Valenine’s menù or use them simply to better wrap your gift.

Print and Party:


1) Free printable flags by Daily Suze. They come in 4 cute hues: coral pink, light teal, lavender, pastel green. Suze made 2 different sizes of them (big and small). You can find 4 sheets of printable paper bunting she has prepared for us!
2) free downloads by Creature Comfort. You can find here another set of bunting in 2 sizes (party bunting and food topper flags). Because of the used colors these would work great for a nautical themed party, a child's room decor or more, let your mind work.
3) Alphabet letters bunting by Ruffled, check my past post for all details.

Print as many pages as you'd like!!

Invitations:

1) Here my favorite finding, it’s really brilliant!! The Wedding Chicks offers us possibility to customize these gorgeous "save the date" cards for free at their website, I’m totally in love with the colors and those birds too! And also it’s very easy to get yours, go and try!
2) Bunting invitations and rsvp cards by Haley Dolan of Bread of Many . They are available for free download in three colors on Nonpareil Magazine.
3) If you don’t have time or you are simply no good at hand-making things you can have a look this website Tea For Joy where you can find invitations to buy.

Play and have fun!

♥ getting ready for meteor showers

The meteor shower is peaking this week, probably the best evening to watch them will be on Thursday 19th in Uk so i'm getting ready to have a oudoor evening. It is expected to peak at around 11pm and continue through the night and the perfect condition of the waether could help us to spot them properly. Seeing stars in their full splendour, shining bright in the sky above you, is one of the unofficial wonders of the natural world and don't forget every fallen stars you spot you can express a desire.

1) Bring a lounge chair or blanket, so you can relax and look up with ease. Check out some of my favorite blankets from Toast (from €59)
2) Some candles might help you in the dark and let me say that they makes atmosphere. I found these wonderful outdoor glass candle holders. They are by Sundance (from € 20).

♥ ibiza




It's no true Ibiza is just a crazy island for young people wanna be crazy during night life. I went there last week to celebrate my birthday with some friends of mine and we had a really good laugh long weekend. Actually we chose to have relaxed days because of my little baby I'm proudly carring. Anyway here some suggestion regarding awesome venues, beaches and places I saw there:

Las Salinas is a very long, wide crescent of pale sandy beach and it is bordered by pine woods. You can enjoy the sun also with music blaring from the party bars (The Jockey Club or Sa Trinxa Beach Bar). Location? really handy because it takes just 10 minutes driving from Playa d'en Bossa or Ibiza Town or 30 min by bus number 14.

Cala Vedella is on the west side of the island, it's just 10 minutes driving from St. Josè. It's a little bay, the crystal clear water is perfekt for swimming and there is a stunning view that is perfect to watch an amazing sunset. It's popular mainly for families and couples, as well as a good choice of restaurants, bars and shops too.

Portinax is an other magnificent gulf with crystalline clear water, high, rocky shorelines and a seabed of fine, white sand. the location is north east, 10 minutes from San Juan. We had a nice morning ending up with a yummy fish lunch just with the table of 2 metres away from the sea.

To avoid: surely Cala Talamanca. It's a pity because the restaurants there are really cute and good but the sea is ...honestly ... horrible!!

What about the evening? here just a couple of suggestion.
Blue Marlin is perfect to close goodly your day up with a cocktail on their total white mattres on the beach. Expencive.

Plaza del Sol restaurant is just on the wall of the old town, you can be delighted by a stunning view of ibiza town. The atmosphere is classy, romantic and you'll have dinner with candle's light. Expencive.

We didn't have time to check this beach venue in playa d'en bossa out but it seems to be really cool: Sands.

At last if you have time to go to Formentera don't miss it!! It's such a magic island! When you get the island you can rent easily a motorbike and go around the island simply by that. I'll post some suggestion on Formentera in a separate post.

Hope this can be inspiring for your hols.
