Ideal weekend. Girls only.

I don't remember when last time I had such a wonderful weekend. I went to see my friends in Florence. And we had everything what a girl could possibly wish during a pure girlish weekend (romantic weekend is another genre - maybe, next time ;)))

So, two and a half sunny days in Tuscany. Art, food, wine, shops, sun, music ...... Sweet Nobember, indeed.
P.S. and even night club with some quite cool house and electro...

Laaaaate breakfast in historic bars in the centre. like Gilli

Fiorentina steak for dinner

some colourful cocktails at night. Girls showed me their favourite bar with two handsome barmen Paolo and Marco - twins! So, when you happen to be in Victoria bar, be sure that there are TWO identical barmen , not  that you drank too much)

Although, my favourite spot in Florence is a tiny enoteca (maybe the tiniest I ever saw)) run by a 24 y.o. Tommaso. His parents and firends help him... Saturday is a busy night, so Tommaso is moving with turbo speed:

they also organised self-service for 2 eur just outside their door (veeeery smart, considering the lack of space))):

Lenny Kravitz was there - see the bottle on the left side. And on the right top is Tommaso with his famous crostini (one magazine published this photo):

Tuscanian salami as a receiver of cosmos signals and vibrations... look at this silly happy face of mine...vibrations are definitely positive:)

We were in a magic place - the ancient pharmacy near Santa Maria Novella cathedral. It is an amazing palace full of aromas and ancient blends and creams and substances.

I always said that the best dressed men are in Florence. Only there you can see such very creative and sharp interpretion of classic tradition. Ok, it is also met in London and New York, but more ...ironically (Paul Smith etc). Although, men in Florence are serious with their looks, but never ridiculous. Even, if they dress like this, they are absolutely authentic:

Some vintage stuff shopping: 

just some more shots of Florence. I think it's my favourite town in Italy now, well at least for short escapes)

Neo would love it. No 2.

This year the EICMA moto show knocked me out with two fantastic motos.

In previous post I wrote about futuristic Morsus- unreal and breathtaking

But if I had to choose (ok, ok, but let's imagine)- it would be CR&S / DUU.

Last Monday I even went to visit the CR&S company and saw their production. It's a little firm near Milan run by cool big serious men - absolute fanatics. Felt in love. 

So... By order. Handmade. Su misura. 6 months.

Their logo resemles the Duomo of Milan:

 It's written in milanese dialect: "Fada su a Milan cont il coeur e cont i man" - means "Made in Milan by heart and by hands".

Cool, right?

Less cool, by me: 
To be is to DUU. 

Neo would love it. No 1.

It's couple of years as some part of my life is devoted to motorcycles (and motorcyclists).

(Although, yachts and yachtsmen are always and forever in my heart ;-)))

So, the beginning of November was very busy time for me and my friends at the Moto Salon in Milan (EICMA). There were many "usual" beauties like Ducatti or MV Agusta... but... two things there were simply otherworldly. 

Both of them are so spectacular that are worth separate posts.

No 1 is MORSUS by Akrapovich (http://www.akrapovic-custom.com/the-morsus/). Morsus in Latin means "bitten". 

A one-off custom masterpiece.

It's something absolutely in the Matrix aesthetics. Neo (or, better Trinity, would love it)

A bit of a Lion. inside and outside.

hairdo of today. unusual for me as I used to have it sleek... or just messy.
