🌱🌤️April living @casamentuccia zoom zoom!

Time to let it all go. A week of fasting in the #drôme region. The first hike was beautiful, exhausting, and a chance to test my mental limits. I’m hoping this is the release I need to put all the energy into my next chapter. Clean vibes from here on out! xxC

In response to a meme last night from G (the choosing always throws me into a panic)…I was so happy to see a cheeky Moira quote as soon as I pressed response bar. What luck! It’s perfect. Proudly showing it to A, proclaiming its brilliance, just knowing she will appropriately laugh…she looks at me sadly and says Catherine O’Hara died today. The shock. Many brilliant actors have passed away in the last year, but this one hit me harder than most. Rest in peace queen. ✨ You will be missed and I will be rewatching for the umpteenth time your comedic brilliance, quirky warmth that somehow gives me permission once again to be myself. Even if no one seems to get it! What a gift for turning the moments we most wish to hide into an endearing human experience we can all relate to. 🙏

Something old. Something new. And even if my kids call me #justinbarbara …something #balenciaga

Feeling full! Of love, laughter, friendship, support, and gratefulness. With a warm belly and a satisfyingly exhausted frame, I wish you all the same. xxC

Save it, pin it, forward it! This one's for my next generation of mystics, mavens, and managing directors. ✨ Have questions? dying to know?! Ask me anything...and I do mean anything! Every 3rd of the month at 18:30 CET. 🔗 Link in the bio or DM for more info. See you there. xxCC

“Don’t you work in fashion?” Most of the time I slip into an alter ego and leave my day job behind. This time a simple question left me searching for a simple answer. Why do I do this?! The simple answer…because I NEED to! The thoughtful answer…because after 20 years in fashion my eye is trained to see beyond the surface and my soul is built to curate consciousness through beauty and experience. I design these activations to bring people into a deeper relationship with themselves and the world around them…whether in London, Paris or Montone…sound, scent, taste, and story become portals to a wild wisdom inherent in us all. Each session is rooted in the rhythms of a place and a season, offering not just an evening, but a shared frequency that is felt. 1. Setting the mood 2. The seasonal heroine 3. Devils in the details 4. What a backdrop 5. I mean!!! 6. Oyster with pomodoro mignonette 7. Beautiful people 8. Black Tahini, Spigola Sashimi, chile oil on a charcoal rye cracker….say that that three times in a row 9. The sign of successful evening. Grazie mille to the @lepalare_your.italian.retreat family, my own family for going along with my madness, and everyone who came with the openness to allow me to guide them through an experience of curiosity and pleasure. It was an honour and a privilege and so much f-ing fun!

I am not becoming something new. I am emerging from layers I have built over the years surviving in the room. #permissiongranted

A journey. A dream achieved. One more stop along the way as we watch this lovely lady celebrate her hard work and determination. Get ready to take a big bite out of life, my dear. Love you to the moon and beyond! xxMutter

Warning ⚠️ getting a little witchy for a moment. I said a little…can’t help myself. #kikhoapproved THIS IS PLEASURE AS A PORTAL AND STILLNESS AS A SPELL. A Leo-season ritual for the wild feminine, led by Chandra Crystal at Le Palare. Under the radiant sun and the falling stars of the Perseids, we gather to remember the body as an altar and summer as a ceremony of pure pleasure. Through breath, movement, and a sound rooted in the sensual summer frequencies, we will softly open to the healing power of beauty and pleasure. We will feast, we will laugh, we will lounge, we will wish on the stars and we will do it all in style! You know I never do it any other way. Date: August 12 Time: 6pm till let’s see! Location: Montone, Umbria Dress Code (optional): Birkins, Birkenstocks and Barefoot…all welcome. RSVP: [link or DM to reserve your place] #umbrialovers #miniretreat #privatedinner #wellness

For all my sparks of inspiration, for my ‘crazy’ ideas, for my dark spiralling moments of doubt, for my over the shoulder looking in the mirror unanswerable by any husband questions…you are always there. Had to say it. Just because. Love you @faustolipparoni

A taste of what’s to come….an August happening! #forthosewhoknow
