1 | Room Mate Giulia Hotel in Milan: if you’re looking for a new design hotel right in the center of Milan, a few steps away from the Duomo, try Room Mate Hotel Giulia. I had the chance to join the opening this week and to spend a night there and it just looks so lovely and different to other hotels. You can also get Wi-Mate, free wi-fi, to carry thorughout the city. And breakfast until 12. The design is by Patricia Urquiola, every room is different, and you’ll find illustrations and photos made by “milanese” artists in the room and corridors.

  1. ” there’s so much more going on on Instagram than fashion bloggers’ legs on sheets and avocado toasts…” Ok, I think I died a little bit inside LOL!!!! 😀
    BTW, the artwork is AMAZEBALLS! Absolutely love it. I think I follow the artist who made the second artwork, “Unskilled Worker”, I think. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again for these amazing educational posts! x :)
