It was a Monday morning 2 weeks ago with Lorna, lots of strolling around Paris, many cappuccinos in Trocadero and thousands of pictures taken.
Just the way we like it.
Hope you enjoy the shots!

I am back in Amsterdam for a few weeks before my next trip to Italy, after spending the most amazing and fun weekend in Paris with OtterBox together with my bestie Lorna and another dozen of fellow lovely bloggers.
I’ve been working with OtterBox for almost a year now and I was very excited to finally meet the marketing team in person and they proved to be even more lovely! I was so proud to find this out since it’s really important to me to truly love the products and company I suggest you guys. It’s part of my integrity and will always be a fundamental part of my work ethic in my blogging career.
OtterBox took us to Paris for their Symmetry Street event. It took place at Le Pavillon des Canaux. You must take a look at it, in case you missed my Instagram Stories.. People having brunch in a bath tub, my Chanel blending in a completely red room or groups hanging out in a baby-room-look-a-like bed.. It was the craziest and cutest location ever to host a party.
The Symmetry Street event was all about street style and street art! Star of the day was the artist Raphael Federici creating and showcasing his charm artwork on a wall made of phone cases (how cool is that!). Everyone could enjoy themselves getting creative decorating their own case or just sipping a drink by the river. Guess what was my choice! 😉
It was the perfect Sunday in Paris with the most wonderful company.

The summer is officially over and fall always brings fresh starts and new beginnings (a bit like starting a new diet on a Monday, but it’s actually happening!)..
The weather still allows us to wear lightweight layers but the colours are already darken up. It’s time to introduce rich tones like burgundy, metallic accents and blazers becomes our best friends.. But this doesn’t mean we have to give up our statement t-shirts, ripped denim, and yellow accessories. Not just yet. #favouriteseason!!
Who said that back-to-school was only for the kids?
New beginnings and new plans always bring positive energy! A good vibe comes hand-in-hand with new inspiration and for me this i all translating into new projects in the coming months.
Emma started daycare last week and when they say, it’s more emotional for the mother than the child.. Nothing is more true! Good news is that she’s loving it! Not a tear, not sad faces, just an exciting new phase. But someone else is going back to class.. Me! End of this month will bring to the city a new dutch speaker.. ermm, at least I am going to give it a go! Let’s see about this one..
Last but not least, with the ‘duties’ comes the fun too! From next weekend will be all about fashion and fashionista friends! Flight to London booked to spend a long weekend with my bestie Lorna for fashion week then together off to Paris the weekend after! Expect shows, presentations, meetings, shoots, dinner and events!
September is going to be fabulous!

Having said about a billion times how much I love summer, you can only imagine the joy of taking Emma for a month to Italy to the places where I grew up! It’s my favourite time of the year and I love that Ravenna offers so many different beach clubs and places to hang out just a quick car ride away from each other. From the ones we prefer to go only for dinner or aperitivo, to the more relaxed ones where we’ve been spending our days to nights.
If you are following me on Instagram (@nickyinsideout) and snap chat (username: nickyinsideout) you have seen my day to day life already.. but this time I wanted to take the chance of also showing you my favourite places (in case you will want to head there on holiday some day) along with what I’ve been wearing..
Because, as a blogger, a holiday is never a real holiday (I mean no phone, no emails.. not happening!) I needed extra protection for my beloved iPhone to survive its 24/7 shift and I opted for 2 different phone cases from OtterBox this time!
So yes, take a pick at my favourite spots, and outfits to go with it, and I hope to see you there one summer day!!
Il Baretto – Marina Romea (Ravenna). A drink on the sand, with good music under the sky. We like to come here to spend some good time with friends where the atmosphere is really chilled out and you don’t need a change of clothes after a day at the beach.
Cala Celeste – Lido Adriano (Ravenna). Cutest location to spend another day at the beach which can end into a more intimate dinner by the sea. The restaurant offers a more original and sophisticated menu. The location is amazing and having dinner few meters away from the seaside is priceless.
Sol y Mar – Riccione. It’s a small cozy restaurant on the beach. Great ambience and adorable atmosphere, original menu and on-the-beach seating. Was highly recommended by a good friend and the one hour drive from Ravenna was well worth it.
Singita – Marina di Ravenna. My 6pm aperitivo on the beach it’s been a must of this holiday. The fun atmosphere, the tables replaced by blankets on the beach.. Feet on the sand, good music and delicious free appetisers.. The italian way!
