Lately in love with this tea: majorelle mint . 
During the winter I am not a coffee drinker, exception made only for lattes at Maialino, so sometimes drinking the same tea (english breakfast) can get a bit boring.So what I like to do is, spice it up changing teas and tisanes and methods of preparing it with different infusers.
It definitely puts me in a good mood, instantly!

I know you wouldn’t expect a post like this on It can be a Lover but I couldn’t refrain myself from sharing it. For the people in NYC who had the chance to watch the marathon live, you know what I’m talking about. The NYC marathon it’s not just a bunch of runners sharing the same path, it’s magical, I would define it as an event of pure inspiration. The concentration, the passion and the gazes of the runners are something that you can’t feel watching the marathon on tv. You have to get on the streets, and get together, and cheer for them and you’ll see all the love people give them. It’s indescribably . I saw people crying, bleeding, laughing but still all focused on their final goal. I know that I would have hugged them all of I could. You will not regret it, next year, if this one you were not there, go out and cheer for the runners. They’ll deeply and irreversibly inspire you.

Not long ago I had the pleasure to work with a new Designers team Alison Vanderpool and Ariana Villalta from The Elegant Abode.
These shots are some of my favorite from Alison’s home in the West Village. The bright colors and the style of this place would make anybody want to have a piece of it in their homes.

And I’m also honored to say that the photos of these beautiful homes were featured in Decor8 site that I sincerely admire.

Ariana’s home photos up soon!
