Just saw the incredible editorial ‘Shape Shift’ for Vogue Italia October Issue, shot by Steven Meisel. If you get a chance, make sure you have a look at the film as well – filmed and edited by Gordon Von Steiner. Models Karlie Kloss, Sasha Pivovarova, Aymeline Valade, Coco Rocha and Lexi Boling were styled by fashion editor Karl Templer. In the video they play with movement and the overlays. The video is elegant, creative and quirky all in one.

I woke up this morning to rain on my window; reminding me of the intimate romance of the city of Innsbruck. Such a colourful, lively and inviting city. Nights at the ballet theatre with snow covered roads and lamp posts, being surrounded by mountains, walking two minutes to the ski slopes and catching the gondola up the mountain for a germknödel and cappuccino with a breaktaking view..

The deep textures of summer.
Thai fusion. Pineapple cocktails. Pork belly. A warm breeze. Industrial lighting. High Ceilings. Lively ambience. Ash wood tables. Laughter. Smiles. Sun kissed skin. Bright hues. Prints. Flowing silhouettes.

Wow. If I was overwhelmed by the pure size of the mountains from our bedroom window, I was blown away by the size of Stubaier Gletscher. Even the bus ride was magical..
After skiing endless kilometres of fresh powder in the morning, we enjoyed our bretzels, biscuits and cafe macchiatos the way the locals did – at 3600 metres above sea level on Gamsgarten’s cosy outdoor lounge chairs.
After cloudless weather and more skiing, we drove back to Innsbruck for a well deserved glass of red wine alongside Bavarian sausages and sauerkraut .
Stubai has 25 lifts, alpine huts, bars and restaurants scattered across the 110 kilometres of mountain terrain.
Today it was time to explore a new mountain! We can’t believe how many ski resorts are included on our Tyrollean ski pass. After stopping by Baguette (for ‘breakfast pizza’ and coffees), we were off to Axamer Lizum. With a variety of steep, long runs, Axamer Lizum is a skier’s haven. There was light snowfall throughout the day and a lot of powder off piste. We finished off with the toughest run of the day, which involved 1000 metres of moguls.
When we got back to Innsbruck, the sun came out, so we went for a wander through Aldstadt (Old Town) and Maria-Theresian Strasse before a late dinner at Stiftskeller.
Maria-Theresian Strasse
The most adorable restaurant on the ski mountain, Patscherkofel would have to be the little wooden cabin and restaurant Gaston’s. Surrounded by adorable floral curtains and traditionally patterned crockery, we had the most hearty winter pasta and Tyrolean noodle soup.
This photo was taken on the second leg of our 11km walk around the cliffs of Cinque Terre.
When we heard about a tiny group of fishing villages located amid some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet along the cliffs of Italy, we couldn’t resist adding it into our itinerary. Cinque Terre consists of five coastal villages; Riomaggiore (where we were staying), Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare.
On our first night we went out to dinner on the main street in Riomaggiore for fresh seafood and wine from the local vineyard.
On our second day we tackled the most scenic walk I have ever been on. We spent our day walking along 11 kilometres of sheer rocky coastline, terraced hills and through vineyards while watching the waves break on the cliff face (the whole walk is usually 12km, unfortunately one section of five was closed down due to a land slide). The five tiny villages of Cinque Terre are built into the rocks between the beach and the hills and are connected by centuries-old footpaths and mule tracks that hug the coastline 500 to 1000 feet above the Mediterranean sea. The extensive cobble-stone footpaths led us through olive groves and vineyards, chestnut woods and orchards while we got to experience each village’s unique character. We stopped halfway at Corniglia at one of the many local restaurants for lunch. When the waiter told us we could have homemade or store bought pasta – obviously we chose home made!
While we were in Cinque Terre, we stayed at the La Dolce Vita Rooms. Our room was very spacious and had quite a welcoming feel to it.
*La Dolce Vita Rooms is located in the centre of Riomaggiore (one of the main villages in Cinque Terre).
