The best swimming pool in Rome

One of my favourite spot in Rome, especially in May and June, is the swimming area of the Rome Cavalieri. This five stars hotel is part of the Waldorf Astoria Group. I love it because they have a great view and they offer two separates pools: one for children and one for adults. If you go there, during the week (Monday through Friday), you can lie on the sun for 45 euros. When I'm there for lunch, I always ask for the classic club sandwich but you can have burgers with french fries. For drinks I suggest a strawberry Daiquiri or a Mediterranean breeze based on vodka, ananas, lime, banana and granatina. Enjoy!

Prada's new face: Lexi Boling

Miuccia Prada has different way to get inspired. For her latest campaign, She wanted an american girl: Lexi Boling from Chicago and one of  the most famous photographer in the world: Steven Meisel. The campaign is focused on the new Double Bag, extremely soft, bicolour, and light. Meisel decided to present it in the most simple way possible: soft colours and one single chair. Lexi Boling has a mysterious face, She is the new successful topmodel around: I saw her on different catwalks such as Valentino, Chanel, Alexander Mc Queen, Miu Miu etc... By the way, in Rome the Prada boutique is in via Condotti.

Frida Kahlo in Rome: A fashion icon

Grand Tour Shopping loves to make you discover new exhibitions, especially the one related to fashion. That's why I suggest to see, at the Scuderie del Quirinale, up to august 31st, an important retrospective on the mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). You will be able to see 160 paintings and drawings. Most of them are self portraits where you can appreciate her taste for traditions, colours and her way to interprete Surrealism. I also loved the videos because you can understand a lot about the personality of Frida Kahlo: her vision, her tastes and her amazing fashion style that inspired a lot of designers all over the world, such as Etro that is one of the sponsor of the exhibition.
