Chanel spend the summer in Capri

One of my favorite place in the world is the island  of   Capri ,   while    I  generally  consider  myself   as  citizen  of   the  world   Rome   and   Capri  together   with   Sofia   Loren  and    all  the   Fashion  Brands  and  luxury brands  in  general   make   me  feel  so   special    to  be  Italian    .

Everything   in  Capri is so amazing the view  of  the  Faraglioni  , the sea  so   blue ,  the   Grotta    Azurra   one  of  the    " 7 Meraviglie  del  Mondo " , the  best food , and the best shopping in the world . All  the   best brands   have a Boutique there , either  if  the    shop is  small   will carry always.the best selection you can think of .
The   jewellery   shops  look   like   candy    shop  ....     with   open  doors but  all  is  real  . 
The    Quisisana   Hotel   dominate    from  Via  Camerelle    with   all its  splendor ,  no  matter    if  you  stay  guest there  or  not  you always  like  to  stop  there
It  is  so lovely that Chanel decided to open a Ephemeral shop there just a minute from Via Camerelle for the summer     a   shop    out  of  the   ordinary     " Villa   Chanel  "  ,  a  place   that   make  a    CC   item  becoming  either   more   special,  for     some  reason   shopping  in  Capri   give   either   more   Allure  to  the    item purchased .
I really  hope    to  be   able  to   go  this   summer    to  spend    few   days     there !

La classe non e acqua ( class is not water )

I  am  sitting   at  my  desk  working  on  my  story  board   for   HIA   a/w   photo   shoots ,  and    keep   the  TV  on  as   keep   me   company,  and   by   a  chance I ended   on  E and   they  playing   the    marriage   of  Kim  Kardashian and Kris Humphriers (   which   I  am   not  sure  why   she  is   famous   for  as   she   is  not  an  actress ,  or  a  singer  or  ....   ) .
The   all   wedding   was  coordinated   black   and  white     from   decoration    to  dress   code   for  the  guests  .

It  maybe   inspired   to  the famous   scene  @   Horse  racing  in  "My  fair  lady"  which   I    super  love, .....  but  for some  reason  is   not   the   same    taste  .....  "La  Classe non e acqua "

Macaroni io ve distruggo

I  am    still   in  Rome, and     with my  friend    Ian Paul   we   decided   to   go   down  for a  drink to   Trastevere, but   we    found  the   area    totally    changed    from   the   Big   Movida   of  the  past  years  .

All  was  very  clean  and    tidy ,   no  people   around    to  sell  fakes   of  big  brands ,   but  only  pot purri   and   mini   Pinocchio  dolls, but  also   and  this   was a   very  good   surprise just   open  a  new    shop  called  di San  Giacomo   in  Via  di  Santa  Dorotea which make   "Capri Sandals "  . 

Many  of  the   restaurants   have   the check  red   and    white table  cloths   and   all   looked  more    like   " Trastevere  inside    Disney  " ,  of   course    Police   forces  everywhere   to  be  sure    to    keep   all  this  way   .
Tourists   in    forces    specially  American  and   British   flock  in  the   streets    of   Trastevere  which still maintains its character thanks   to  its narrow   cobbled  streets  lined by medieval houses .



The    style    code   was   to  have  a    bag     to  wear   cross !
