The Cube

Hey, I want to have lunch here! The Cube is a temporary restaurant overlooking Piazza del Duomo in Milan. This concept, created by Electrolux, aims to offer a "lunch to remember" experience to 18 guests sharing a communal table, enjoying Michelin rated cuisine, all while taking in the amazing views of Milan's rooftops.

The Cube will be in its Milan location till April 2012 and then it'll relocate to Stockholm (!!!), London, Switzerland and Russia.

Start saving up, enjoying this unique gastronomic experience isn't cheap. Tickets go for €200 - €275.

Bits of Happiness

These are a few things that have made me smile this week:

Rachel opened a new online shop: Mignon Kitchen Co. It carries a wonderful selection of curated goods for prepping, baking, serving, and sharing food. Right now, I'm craving this fondue au chocolat, but it's sold out!

I adore this quote, hand written by the talented Lila Symons:

The Kooks (one of my favorite bands) are playing in New York next March, I was  lucky to grab some tickets and I'm so excited!

The Kook's most famous single "Naive". I love this live version.

These cards made me chuckle!  Perfect for Valentine's day. By Red Letter Paper Co.

Enjoy the rest of the week! It'll be Friday before you know it!

I daydream about traveling all over the world; lately I've obsessing over going to India, the Caribbean, San Francisco or London. Where would you like to travel?

Yummy! I'm loving the idea of having a Breakfast Banana Split. I'm always hunting for easy and nutritious breakfast options, and this one has become an instant favorite!

Maurizio Cattelan

In what was the most perfect day (60F degrees in January!), I finally had the chance to see Maurizio Cattelan's exhibition at the Guggenheim in NYC. It was mind-blowing, surreal and spectacular.

Make sure to catch it! It runs till January 22.

Excellent advice, if you ask me.

Rachel Castle

Always a fan of bright colors and geometric shapes, and desperately in need to cheer up my empty walls, I wishlisted these fantastic prints by Rachel Castle as soon as I saw them.
