Loste Cafe, Milano🥐☕️ I went for a run an ended up Loste on purpose. 🔖🌟 delicious pastry, coffee and savory aperitivi shop is the love child of Stefano Ferraro (Noma’s former head pastry chef) and Lorenzo Cioli (expert sommelier) - tiny, charming and totally fika. I had the cinnamon roll and the cardomomo, a doughy pastry glazed with caffe and orange. 😛😛 @lostecafemilano 181 8
What’s my favorite thing to do in Milan? Walk around Porta Venezia/San Babilia in search of the city’s amazing architecture. The lines of Piero Portaluppi drive me wild, and I love the whimsy of Giulio Arata but what is up with that crazy secret ear? #archilovers #milano 106 4
The Mini-Como at @ciampini_roma 🍦 is one of my all-time favorite snacks in Rome- dark chocolate gelato dipped in dark chocolate, bit-sized. Can’t get any better… put it on the list for things (at any time of year) to do in #rome 223 20

Fontana del Nettuno, Piazza Navona❤️believe it or not, I had forgotten how much I love walking around #Rome at 9am - a great time to enjoy Piazza Navona without the crowds. (Even earlier is better). It’s been a crazy tourist season- long and lots. If you’ve been in Rome in the last few months, what’s your take? 224 23

A Day in Dubai with brand-spanking new @wdubaiminaseyahi. I love a party and can’t think of a better way to recharge with 100% me time at this gorgeous adults-only hotel with its spa, beaches, views and personal touch. Yep, I ditched the family for jaw dropping perspectives, fabulous room design - I miss my boudoir- and incredible art from the ground to floor 30 (i’m talking about those pencil portraits and light sculptures). And I met a great group of ambitious, dynamic and utterly creative creatives ❤️Last time I visited Dubai I don’t think any of this existed… 118 16
🍝 One Thing I really love is an old school Roman restaurant with the fundamentals- amatriciana, griscia, carbonara, saltimbocca and of course puntarelle when in season - and an old decor like @lamatricianadal1870, same gorgeous design since the 1930s and exact same vibe. I know everyone come for the amatriciana but I’m here for lunch- for the griscia and some suit watching. 🕴🏼🇮🇹 Neighborhood: Esquilano, across from the opera house. #iloverome #rome #pastalover 170 13
Nel Tuo Tempo @studioolafureliasson. In #Florence? Here’s an exhibition to visit and walk through over and over again. Eliasson’s work always makes me some and Nel Tuo Tempo brings out the best of four decades with 20 historic pieces – including my favorite Beauty! - and 3 new site-specific installation. And a VR.

Sunday morning drive in #Rome on the Appia Antica ❤️🙌 Just finishing up the last few videos of what’s been an amazing adventure along Ancient Rome’s oldest and longest road with @dariusaryadigs.
