Style Sunday: Metal Bed
Pinterest I’ve always wanted a metal bed. …and actually haven’t found the perfect one yet! I want something simple …but with just a bit of scrollwork. I’ve been leaning towards the ones in silver.

One Clean Casa
It’s traditionally Italian to keep a very clean home, meticulously so. Also, traditionally, the Italian mamma tends to keep her fairly simple home well-maintained so it can be passed down to family for generations and that items inside do not go to waste. Things are not so plentiful nor disposable as they are in so many…

Buon Appetito!
Pinterest Tonight, I prepared spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. (This combination is actually Italian-American, as pasta is a first course or primo and meatballs are enjoyed separately as a secondo in Italy.) As you can imagine, I eat pasta all the time, but I hardly ever make meatballs. They were delicious! Squisito! My sister, well known…
Style Sunday: Another Skirt for Winter
I love to wear my brown wool skirt with a brown sweater and heeled boots when I want to dress up during the winter. …so I wanted to add a classic tweed skirt to my winter wardrobe. I picked up the following black and white tweed pencil skirt from Ann Taylor. Very Coco Chanel (although…
