Ciao! Katie’s come out to join me in Rome! We’re staying at the beautiful Hotel San Anselmo and have spent the day wandering around in the sun, gorging on amazing food, drinking some wine and turning off our Blackberrys. Oh, and at one point Katie launched into an iconoclastic diatribe about how if Italy is so brassic, maybe they should just melt some of that shiny Church Gold down and flog it off. It’s possible a monk overheard. Mooching layabout monks.
Katie wears a Ganni dress and a knitted red bow tie from Dolly Knits.
Any suggestions for what we should do in Rome tomorrow?
P.S. Big birthday shout out to Lindsay from her sister Cecily. Take a look at her awesome site Thrifted And Modern. Yep. Turns out WKW now does birthday greetings. I feel like Andy Peters in the Broom Cupboard.
First of all, I have followed you guys for ages now and use what you do to help inspire my fashion students, and also prompted me to get my rear-end in gear and start my own! But to the point – go here – Via della Fossa, 16 Rome – the bar is called Jonathan’s Angels – It is worth seeing! I had to climb out of the window due to an overly amorous Italian man – but hey, that’s life! G X
theres a lovely botanical garden in trastevere and a couple of nice galleries (when i was there i stumbled upon a stephen shore exhibition and a small tracey emin one too!) x x
If you get a chance, take the Vatican tour with epicrometours – ask for Jamie. It’s outstanding. I would also highly recommend booking a table at http://www.ristoranteadhoc.com/. Very romantic, great wine selection, superb tasting menu.
Make sure you leave about an hour between asking for your bill at every restaurant and actually leaving the establishment – this seems to be Rome standard!
Go to Popi Popi in Trastevere for a pizza.
