North Italian beauty Portofino has a reputation of being the to go destination for the stylish crowd. Well deserved. This mini port town may have more luxury boutiques per sqm than anywhere else.

posted by girlcoolhunting
I did tons of research to find the best of best in Corsica. Especially of Beaches. Internet surfing, local recommendations, travel mags and more.

Despite offering […]

Cantinery Istanbul
posted by girlcoolhunting
Istanbul’s new eatery Cantinery didn’t impress me much. Being one and only sibling of infamous Lucca my expectations were high on food. Portions were small and despite having fancy ingredients taste was a bit dull. I am not a fan of book thick menus but this one was really limited. Definitely didn’t match Lucca in food sense. […]

181 stairs to heaven
posted by girlcoolhunting
It’s not always easy to find cool spots. Websites can do magic and turn nothing but small and sometimes even hideous places into uber-stylish wonders. “Trip Advisor”ish ranks do help but how to trust whether they have same level of expectations as us. Therefore, I do trust just a very small number of people when […]
