Castello di Vicarello (Poggi del Sasso)

Heavenly isolated…

Tuscan infinity …

No filter… this flower’s otherworldly details and light reminded me of the magical flower in Tangled!

Morning harvest…

Organic eggs, tomatoes, figs, aubergines, zucchini & rosemary!

Can’t wait to see what the chef has done with my ingredients!

After a good meal, it’s time to work it off village-style!

Siesta …

Contemplation…

Only drawback… those bees! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 constantly chasing me around buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing in my ears !

I tried running away, but they’re everywhere!

The remedy 🍷all day & all night…

Details of my OOTN

Siena… Travel in time to the medieval era… just filter out all the tourists from your views and it feels like you’re there!

and along the way we saw this amazing sunflower🌻 field…

and stopped at this picturesque hilltop village, Montalcino, home of the reknown Brunello di Montalcino wine 🍷

Provence 🍒🇫🇷 to Portofino ⛵️🇮🇹 via St Tropez 👙

Posted on June 28, 2016 by SilhouettEtiquette

My Provence lavender hunt obsession led me to the Abbaye de Sénanque and while the lavender wasn’t in full bloom, the setting was still picturesque…

Provence is not just about vinyards & purple love, its palette is rich in colors and I particulaly ❤️ this red hot cherry 🍒 tree! so much that I actually fell into a ditch (and broke my phone’s screen 😡) as I was trying to capture its beauty!

Gordes… Gorgeous!

Couldn’t resist sharing this with my little ones so it was time for a quick Skype!

Here’s me practicing my favorite St Tropez passtime: people watching! 😝

The next day it was time to drive off to Italy but not before we stopped @ a random beach near St Tropez where tanners of all ages seemed to take issue with the idea of a swimsuit!

And we finally arrived in Italia 🇮🇹…

After a long drive it was Pesto time in Portofino ! 🇮🇹

Nature’s splendid beauty was drawing me to it and away from all stress…

Flowers 🌸 & Trees 🌴 in magical harmony…

Lemon trees 🍋 & jasmine … a perfect blend of sents!

Piscina & mare

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸a fitting entrance to the Spa (which I desperately needed to end my day) 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Shaking Beads in Bonnieux

Posted on June 26, 2016 by SilhouettEtiquette

Ready!

My walk looks so effortless… it wasn’t!

When you’re late to a wedding but have to stop because the fruits in the trees are just too tempting !

Made it & now I just can’t wait to start shaking those beads on the dance floor!

Tasting, Breathing & Dipping in Provence 🍇🍷🌿🌾

Appetizer: une tarte salée

We started our Provence tour in Avignon where a local chef cooked for us a delicious provincial meal in a 14th century cuisine in the basement of La Mirande (an old cardinal’s palace across from the Popes Palace)
