WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD
I'm Wearing: Tods flat sandals (never was a huge fan of Tods until I moved to Europe, seems to be more of a trend here), Asos jumper (you have no idea how difficult it was to zip up - imagine going to the bathroom!), Prada clutch, Marc Jacobs sunnies
Mass' Wearing: Nico Di Donna trousers, Lardini loafers, Linen shirt from Paris, Marc Jacob sunnies
On Sunday, we had the typical Italian lunch (read: feast) at Mass' parents place. It never fails for Mass and his brother to head out onto the terrace after to have a cigar and grappa.
I bought Mass the linen shirt when I was in Paris a few months ago. We were walking along a tailor street (cheaper equivalent to Saville Row in Paris) and I coincidentally popped into a mens shop that provided tailoring to a number of political figures, including Bill Clinton. I love the looseness of the shirt, it falls so nicely on him.
In the evening we went to Gubbio, Italy (a region in Perugia). We met some friends from London who took us to an Agriturismo in the middle of nowhere. Borgo di Carpiano specializes in 'un-plugging'. Especially for those who live in a big city like London, they give you the opportunity to literally unplug from everything (there is barely a bar of reception on your mobile). As you can see from the photos, the view is spectacular. The infinity pool ain't so bad either. The venue is a refurbished church that was re-built brick by brick, layer by layer, a few years ago. They only have seven rooms total and I even heard patrons from North America (aside from me).
We had a fantastic meal at their restaurant with a bottle of red from their region (and yes it was followed by a Toscana - cigar from Italy - and a grappa)
Back in London rain, Ciao for now!
