BALI

One of the Twelfth Street girls, Rachel, just got back from a vacation in Bali, where she visited temples, played with monkeys, and read by this breathtaking infinity pool:

She brought back these great hand-woven ikat fabrics. 

So pretty! 

Between my trip to Europe and Rachel's vacation in Bali, it seems like Twelfth Street girls are taking over the world

SWISS ALPS

The scenery looked like it was straight out of The Sound of Music. Doe a deer...

Pictures from my friend Eva's family home, they used to own a pharmacy.

My daughter loved the "goldglimmer"... I rightfully told her it was fairy dust. 

I loved the cementary.

Someone must have been chopping for days to get this big of a pile of wood

The Alps were breathtaking and our stay there was truly enchanting.

Watch for the next post- after the Alps we headed up to Germany

Love, Cynthia

LUGANO

Lugano is near the Swiss-Italian border, so of course we had to have some delicious pizza.

Fresh mozzarella and basil!

Loved the Missoni Pellegrino...

 

We were lucky enough to have perfect weather throughout our stay, too

Switzerland was so beautiful. 

MILANO

I've just gotten back from a trip through Europe and I am excited to share photos and stories of my favorite places with you!

Our first stop was Milan, always such a gorgeous city and of course an excellent place to shop!

Aspesi is one of my favorite stores.

Here are some of the cool toys and trinkets they were selling. But even more interesting to me was the space itself.

Everything, from the layout and furnishings to the display, was so inspiring! A definite must-see when in Milan.

Visit Aspesi's website here.

Another store I visited, which everyone knows and loves, is of course Corso Como 10.

I got these amazing Ferragamo shoes there- archive reissue 30s brought back in an exclusive collaboration with Corso Como 10- I had to have them.

So gorgeous. I also took a few snapshots of the interior of Corso Como 10:

Visit their website here.

Milan was unbelievable, and had by far the cutest taxi drivers out of any city we visited.

But it was only the first stop on our trip, so check back because there are more posts about my trip to come!
