Giusto per il periodo, pensavo ad una fuga in un lussuoso lodge selvaggio circondato da incredibili montagne, brughiere e laghi delle Highlands scozzesi. Le lussuose Eagle Brae ti danno il benvenuto per un’esperienza nella natura selvaggia a soli 30 minuti di auto da Inverness. Nelle betulle autoctone di Strathglass, le case di tronchi in stile pioniere canadese ti mettono proprio in mezzo alla natura, dove l’unica cosa che emette un suono è la brezza tranquilla. Il tutto realizzato a mano con tronchi di cedro rosso occidentale provenienti da foreste gestite in modo sostenibile nella British Columbia, in Canada, il legno in queste cab offre protezione termica, rendendole calde e accoglienti. Opere d’arte di artisti locali, motivi scozzesi e interessanti oggetti sportivi d’epoca sono ben mescolati con mobili in legno scolpiti nell’Himalaya – veri e propri comfort scozzesi da ricordare per sempre. Ci sono solo 10 baite open space spaziose ma accoglienti, con alti soffitti a volta, cattedrale, piani mezzanini con balconi intagliati e terrazze maestose con vista. La tenuta di Eagle Brae produce i suoi deliziosi hamburger di cervo selvatico, agnello di pecora a quattro corna e maiale proveniente da maiali rari del Berkshire. Le baite Eagle Brae sono situate tra Glen Afric e Glen Strathfarrar nelle magnifiche Highlands scozzesi.

MAN AND WOMAN
Versace, who is usually one of the most extravagant, this time presented a shared collection, both for him and for her. The tones always remain on black, white and there is a reference to a red houndstooth, while the silhouettes are oriented more on tailored cuts but at the same time on the last remaining streetwear. A collection that puts men and women on equal terms, to make it clear that the differences are made characteristically and not with an outfit.
LUXURY THINKING
Always to get out, at least for a few hours, from this surreal climate that all the big cities are experiencing, think big. This week think about luxury and in Milan think about via Montenapoleone, the 5-star shopping street, which the Milanese affectionately call via Montenapo, where there are the most prestigious brands and historical places in Milan. Come for a ride and stroll along the street as well as admiring the sparkling windows of the “dreams” of the next purchase, you can read the plaques displayed between the different buildings that recall the well-known faces that have lived here in history.
FASHION 2020
Oversized jackets and coats, neutral and pastel colors for the insiders who have animated the last Fashion Week years. The reference to the past lies in the detail, from the shoe to the shapes of the end of the millennium. Attention is paid to accessories that, if chosen well, always give a strong character to the best looks. Easy to get lost in a wrong look, between courageous aspirants and daring combinations, the possibility of falling at the mercy of disproportionate outerwear and “candy effect” is really around the corner. Sometimes you just have to dare a little less to get a refined but super cool look.
PRIMAVERA ESTATE
Per la nuova collezione primavera-estate, Zalando propone una nuova linea, e le protagoniste dello shooting fotografico sono le dipendenti dell’azienda. Zalando e Progetto Quid si sposano e fanno nascere una collezione molto “green” e molto “easy”. Green perchè ogni singola creazione è stata realizzata con il recupero di tessuti di eccedenza, messi a disposizione dalle più prestigiose aziende italiane di moda e tessili. La collezione si compone di 27 pezzi, di cui 18 realizzati in esclusiva per Zalando. I pattern geometrici dai colori vivaci e le stampe floreali, sono un motivo ricorrente. Il messaggio lanciato da questa esclusiva collezione è quello delle “seconde possibilità”. Le esclusive modelle sono donne da un passato difficile che rinascono e vivono in una seconda possibilità. E le eccezionali modelle sono state fotografate nel luogo da cui la loro vita è ripartita. Tutti questi ingredienti rendono speciale questa collezione. A questo punto clicchiamo tutte per indossare almeno uno di questi capi. Questo ed altro su Instagram @Anna_Spampinato_blogueur

APERITIVO IN BOUTIQUE
Vorreste fare un aperitivo fuori porta? Avrei un ottima location in caso, un hotel boutique con interni eleganti nella zona di Eastcliff, vicino al mare che include anche colazione e cena per il week-end. La soleggiata Bournemouth sulla costa del Dorset, nel sud dell’Inghilterra, è accogliente in qualsiasi momento dell’anno. Godetevi passeggiate lungo la scogliera o sulla lunga spiaggia sabbiosa; scoprire musei stravaganti e uno dei moli considerato “il più bello della Gran Bretagna”. Arroccato a soli 15 minuti a piedi dal famoso molo, l’hotel vi consentirà di raggiungere facilmente l’intera città. The Orchid è elencato tra i primi cinque hotel di Bournemouth.
ANNA VIRGILI
Now finding high quality leather goods, like the one our grandparents used, is really a puzzle. However, this does not happen for Anna Virgili, who since 1988 has offered her customers top quality leather goods. It was born as a small family-run boutique in San Benedetto del Tronto, but despite its size also on the market, it had an unconditional love for its customers by giving them an accurate attention to small details and impeccable service. 4To date Virgili is an important brand in the world, but which remains attached to its roots and which still tries to offer the same things of that time, an excellent made in Italy product.
DON’T WORRY
It is evident that there is a veiled melancholy walking through the streets of the city of Milan, in this second week of coronavirus. Suddenly we stopped talking about everything except the emergency which is less and less Chinese and more and more global in our national moment. A return almost to a rhythm and to a dimension to which we are no longer used and which, perhaps, in addition to making everyone think a little, makes us see and appreciate an unusual Milan. So enjoy a good coffee and take a nice walk through the streets of Milan admiring the city in this surreal atmosphere, and if you want something new pampered with shopping in complete relaxation without queues, don’t worry, live the city!
ACHILLE GUCCI
Achille Lauro is the revelation, in his consecration, of this Sanremo 2020 Festival. A success that is also due to the collaboration with Gucci. A project brought to the Ariston stage that has turned into a different journey every evening. The look of the first red carpet was in fact a red carpet “non-look”, in perfect style I don’t care, title of the song by the Roman singer, competing at the Festival. Then the iconic flesh-colored cape and onesie from the early evening. Go viral in seconds. And for the evening of the duets, Achille Lauro turned into David Bowie in his version of Ziggy Stardust. Then came the turn of the Divine Marchesa Casati Stampa, eccentric and lover of luxury. For the final evening, Lauro went down the stairs interpreting Elizabeth I Tudor, virgin bride of the country, of the people, of art and defender of freedom. Only an extravagant and nonconformist like Gucci could accept a collaboration like this, it is certain that his looks did not go unnoticed
