My new job allows me to travel a lot : ) This month I had an opportunity to be in Rome with my students and then for an international conference in Madrid. Whereas I know Rome quite well, I have never been to Madrid which made me feel so excited! The conference was a blast, I could finally meet everyone and learn about the policy, plans and programmes. Unfortunately, we had really busy time and to be honest the only thing I saw was Museo del Prado where (YES!) I saw Renoir's exhibition. It was fabulous! : )
I would like you to take a look at some of the pics I took (by the way, please excuse my short, "evasive" captions about Madrid: I really didn't see/know much about this city!):

Also, this week I want to draw your attention to
- Italian IKEA catalogue that you can view here. It's sooo nice! I don't know about your country, but in Poland the catalogue is much less entertaining,. The captions and pictures very often differ (I didn't know that before, did you?). I like it so much better in Italy (BTW, IKEA in Sicily is to be opened next March/April so fingers crossed everyone!)
- Normaluisa website on which you should click on "La Gazette du Bon Ton" where you'll find lots of useful tips about how to be/look allure, smart, elegant, etc..
Enjoy your weekend!! : )
