Fancy Rooftop Lunches: Hotel Forum

So today  decided to take myself out to lunch. I ended up at Hotel Forum, located very nicely behind Piazza Venizia and in front of the Collosseo.
 
This place is just what I needed. Hotel Forum has a rooftop restaurant with a lunch buffet. Open from 12-3 for lunch, 25€ buffet, and absolutely worth it because the food was delicious and the service was wonderful.

The view accompanied by the 28 degree temperature and breeze made my solo lunch date perfect. Mainly because I was under the shade :)


Don't mind my finger lol
I ended up in the elevator with a woman who worked at the hotel from Greece, very pleasent woman. LoL so naturally i told her about my recent travels to Greece and how much i enjoyed it. She told me she loved the view from the restaurant; she felt it was the best in Rome. I disagree on that point but the view was nice. I could see the collosseo in the distance, some ruins (but where cant you see ruins in Rome), and the wedding cake building from my seat.
 


The wait staff was sooo nice. I thought since it was in a hotel they might be kind of snooty but they weren't. The waitress noticed I was taking pictures and looking around and at the view so she suggested I go up to the terrace where the American Bar was. And that was
another cute spot. She said it was very nice at night and that I should come back around 7 when it opens. I sat up there for a while and enjoyed the sun and the flowers.
 



Overall this is definitely a place I would recommend and  I will definitely be back. Whether you live here or you are on vacation you should definitely make the Hotel Forum rooftop restaurant a place you visit for lunch, diner, or a drink.

Instaspiration of July : @DSSAAKSSS

So I am starting something new today called INSTAspiration of the month. Instaspiration are those I follow on instagram who are fashion inspirations, plain ol inspirational, or both!

INSTAspiration for July is Dssaaksss my friends!

She is DEFINITELY a fashion inspiration and I absolutely adore looking at her pictures when they come across my instagram timeline.

Everything about this woman is fabulous! I don't think there are enough wonderful adjectives to describe her!
I love her hijab; that is actually my favorite part of her fashion. She stays true to her belief but also to herself. Just because something is a part of you it doesn't have to be boring.

I love that she takes fashion risks. I am not there yet in my outfits; I tend to say with solids and one pattern. I am slowly adding colors and patterns in different ways. She is showing me the way lol.
















My other favorite part of her is that she mixes and matches designers. She will wear KK or H&M with Chanel or Balmian or Giuseppe Zanotti (my favorite).

I like her so much because she is so positive and sets out to uplift people; even through Instagram I can see the beauty of her spirit.




Just Fab!
I wonder what she does because I would love to work for or with her so I could see what she wears all the time lol.

If you want to add her to your favorite bookmarks, like I have, here is her website, @Dsaks.
