FathomHQ s Favorite Links: November 7, 2015 Edition

What we're clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.

I'm loving Heather Walters innovative (and travel-friendly) method of storytelling through micro chapters on Instagram. Start with #AvaCouliseAndTheTimepieces. – Berit, editor

I'm in Rome, where the Trevi Fountain has just reopened after a magnificent restoration funded by Fendi. Last night, I was there at midnight when two people got engaged and everyone at the fountain erupted in cheers and applause. (Very Roman Holiday!) Here's a live webcam from the fountain. – Pavia, founder

Brooklyn-based artist Jules de Balincourt paints places: some real, some projected from his marvelous boho imagination. His oil artwork is beautiful. I'd like to buy every piece. – Daniel, editorial assistant

I've been trying to convince myself (and everyone around me) that I won't look dumb roller-skating to work. Extra inspired by this video of four semi-pros skating Barcelona's streets at night. – Becky, assistant editor

This the cheapest time to buy airfare, according to science. – Berit

New York City's first micro-apartments opened in Kips Bay, starting at an affordable $950 for 250 to 370 square feet. If I'm squeezing into a space that size, I'd much rather live in this beautiful garden studio in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. – Daniel

In other tiny-living situations, Book and Bed Tokyo just opened this week. The "accommodation bookshop" is a library-themed capsule hostel where you literally get to fall asleep reading your favorite book. Is it weird that I kinda really want to go? – Becky
