The Sommerhaus PIU is a prefabricated wooden house with a modern design. It is simple, elegant and versatile. The house is suitable as a holiday home, or as a permanent residence with every comfort and beautiful finishings. It has been designed by Patrick Frey and Björn Götte. This is what is missing from my life. Got to work on it.

Corina lives in the wonderful Kefalonia Island and says "living on the island, is simply a dream! One look on my INSTAGRAM will convince you". I think she's really right;)

Taking some time and planning things I might need before heading to Megève, make me feel already there!
01: Waterproof trekking boots - The North Face | 02: The new stylish SIGG Thermo line - Winner of the Red Dot Award 2014 for global excellence in product design - the collection offers four sizes and two different types: mugs with a capacity of 0.3L and 0.5L, equipped with a removable tea filter,or bottles available in 0.75L and 1.0L, coming with a convenient cup.
I can't decide between them - even if I'm a coffee rather than tea lover, the fact to use such a smart mug could make me drink more tea for a week or two (and that's good for my health). Am I so superficial?
03: Sunscreen face and body emulsion yoghurt - Korres | 04: Charade! The movie begins in Megève (only the early minutes) and it's always so great. I will look for a dvd. In the meantime, this is just the beginning: first + second clip from youtube.

I'm packing my stuff, it's HOLIDAY time! I can not wait to get to Megève. This year, we're spending some weeks in the French Alps - Haute-Savoie department - near the Mont-Blanc. I'm used to the mountains of South Tyrol - the east italian part of Alps - so, it's my first time on the west side!
I really need some time to walk and read and listen to silence and free my mind (and chilling tasting local drinks and cakes - I have to taste everything I can).

During these few days, I'll keep you company with a light serie of posts called "In the mood for Holiday" to inspire (I hope) your summer days with beautiful photos + diys + recipes from my favorite bloggers.
I'll be back around the 5th of august!
