Refreshing Trebbia

We spent Saturday afternoon in a very relaxing way :)

Garden dreams

Before I started modelling and travel the world I had a dream of becoming a Garden Architect. I have been growing up with gardens and I love the physical work that is needed to keep it in order, that in combination with my passion for beauty and design would make it a perfect job for me. Life took me in a different direction though, but it's never too late right... At leats I really hope to have my own garden one day :)
Can't wait to go to Sweden next week to put my bare feet in the grass of my parents summer garden <3

A picture made by the swedish artist Elsa Beskow. It describes so well my romantic image of the countryside and gardening :)

Found some lovely inspiration pics at Pinterest:

To decorate with pillows.

Can't get enough of pillows!!! It's such a nice and easy way to change a room. In no time a boring room can become really cosy or with new colors or patterns it can totally change its look.
At Ivory we are selling very beautiful hanmade pillows right now and of course I allready got a pair for my home :)

Pillows at Ivory, 50€ each.

Weekend by lago di Garda

Spent a lovely long weekend with our Swedish/Italian friends who have a house by the Garda lake. Francesco and Stefano knows each other from their Erasmus year in Uppsala and Francesco ended up staying in Sweden as a professor and is now married to amazing Anna. Weekends with them are always so relaxing and full of laughter and interesting conversations :)
This time we were lucky getting invited to the Dire Straits consent in Padova as well. Francesco's friend Marco had got free tickets and the possibility to talk to the band members since he is producing wine for them and we ended up coming with. So Friday night was spent in the garden av a wonderful old nobel villa outside Padova where they hold their consent.
Saturday and Sunday were instead just full of good food, the company of friends and refreshing baths in the lake. Just as it should always be :)

Dream vacation

Ended up watching a documentary about one of Greece's most well known designers the other day and just got so amazed by his story.
His name is Dimitris Tsitouras and he started his career as a lawyer with a big passion for art. His collection just got bigger and bigger and at one point he desided to open up a small luxury hotel at his favorite greek island Santorini to have a place to exhibit his pieces... His hotel got well known for its exclusivity and interior designs and very soon he got famous clients like Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier, the Moschino designers and many others... Valentino and Tsitourars become good friends and after some years Valentino managed to convince his friend to start working full time with design. Now Tsitouras can be compared with a Greek Hermes and his designs are well known all over the world.

 Watching this documentary I just found my dream destination for a romantic vacation. His interior designs are so me, the hotel is small and privat with a breath taking view over the sea and small greek islands and the fact to be surrounded by world famous art pieces like Picasso paintings or original Lord Byron books would be really amazing.

Here I'll give you the link to the hotel website ( for who can afford it ;): http://www.tsitouras.com/
