Sometimes, we all need a little escape. Whether it’s mentally, to tune out stressful situations. Or physically, by heading to a new destination or giving some distance to someone or something.
So let’s do that today. Let’s immerse ourselves in beautiful things. Dream about upcoming trips. Enjoy the seasonal treasures of the first tomato you pick from the vine, the taste of a crisp zippy Sancerre surrounded by fireflies, or that dewy skin from a long walk outside.
Italian Summer Vibes
Here are a few things that make get you in that happy mindset:
Tomato Theme Dinner Parties: I love the simple, rustic idea of this. Plus, the tomatoes double as decor and main ingredients. Imagine using old tomato cans filled with Trader Joe’s flowers and serving a yummy corn and tomato pasta. Check out this video for inspiration!
And with that, cute serving ware always makes a great gift for a hostess.
Italy Inspiration: We are headed to Italy this summer and the excitement is building around here! While most of my packing includes repeats from our Bahamas trip, there will be some new looks including this swimsuit and cover up. I also just purchased these fun sandals.
Be sure to follow along on my socials for all the trip details!
