Open up your eyes, then you realise. 
Here I stand with my everlasting love. 
Need you by my side. 
Girl to be my pride. 
Never be denied everlasting love.... 


With Everlasting Love I was first introduced to the the greatest jazz-pop artist of the recent years, Jamie Cullum. So when I got the invitation to the private showcase of his latest album Momentum at Café Trussardi I was super excited. During the event he played some tracks from Momentum (to be released on May 20th) including a version of Pure Imagination from the 1971 musical  Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, but also a few his past album The Persuit. We also got to see his signiture move of singing while standing on the piano. This was a great afternoon of music and drinks.

Only The Brave Tattoo: Fragrance Tasting with Diesel

diesel only the brave tattoo photo dieselonlythebravetattoo_zps1f08d1a5.jpg

In the Greek mythology each of the gods had his own scent and when the ancient Greeks felt that smell it was thought to be the god's presence. Today I use the same for the people around me, associating each person to their particular fragrance. While most of the people have a signature fragrance that represent them, more and more are changing perfumes regularly. Especially spring is the perfect time to change our fragrances, going from the warm notes of winter to more fresh notes of fruits. 

With Diesel I had an unusual experience of fragrance tasting. It consisted in experiencing the exquisite ingredients that make up the new men fragrance Diesel Only The Brave Tattoo and understanding the difference from the previous fragrance Diesel Only The Brave. 

The new fragrance for men has a composition of apples in the top notes, sage and bourbon pepper in the heart notes and amber wood, benzoin, tobacco  patchouli in the base notes.  The over all scent is spicy and fresh, perfect for spring summer.  

Only The Brave Tattoo comes in the glass fist flacon inscribed in a tattoo style by the legendary tattooist Mister Cartoon. Aftert tattooing Eminem, 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, taking ispiration from the streets of his native Los Angeles, Mister Tattoo brings his art to the new fragrance. After all Diesel has a long time relationship with body art, being its models one of the most tattooed I've ever seen during Milan Menswear Fashion Week

America's Cup with Nespresso

nespresso sailing americas cup photo nespresso-sailing-americascup-thedollsfactory70_zps3d4f81ab.jpg
5 things I learned about the America's Cup :

  1. The America's Cup World Series uses AC57 catamerans which are smaller than the ones used at the final America's Cup race or at the Louis Vuitton Cup. The World Series is used from teams to prepare themselves and get points for the final race. 
  2. America's Cup is as important as the Olympics or World Soccer championship, at least for those with a passion for sailing. 
  3. There are no women on the sailing teams but I bet there will be soon. What about an all-women team?
  4. The winner of the competition chooses were the next America's cup will be held. In 2010 Oracle Team won the race and has chosen San Francisco Bay for the 2013 final race. I think it will be great watching the race from the Alcatraz Island. 
  5. This is one of the most inclusive sport races I've ever seen. More than 100 thousand people were on the Naples shore watching the race for free. A whole village is build for the public everytime the America's Cup visits a city where fans can enjoy week  of sports, food, drinks and with Nespresso as a sponsor also some delicious coffee.

Hello Emirates Team New Zealand



Did I tell you how great is the food in Naples? It gets even better when you have dinner while you are in a very interesting company, with people that live in a totally different world from yours. I'm talking about the team New Zealand sailors, the skipper Dean Baker, grinder Winston Macfarlane and sail coordinator Grant Lorenz. When asked which one is their favorite city to race, of course they had to answer Naples, but there is no place like home so Auckland would be the more sincere one. Even though the team confessed not having the time to visit properly the cities where they travel while racing, but just like everyone of us they appreciated the Italian food and the beer. I was also curious why there weren't any women on any of the teams, and surprise surprise Dean Baker told me that an all women team is getting ready to enter the races in 2014.
