Let’s take a look inside legendary writer Patrick Leigh Fermor and his wife Joan’s Grecian home. The stunning stone house is located atop Mount Taygetus, overlooking the serene Messenian Gulf. Surrounded by ancient olive and cypress trees, the house sits between two bays for one of the most stunning views from every angle. This home was a peaceful place to get away and write for the accomplished couple.

Tucked away a few hours from Athens, the Kardamyli house embodies a blend of rustic and Tuscan. While the home is on the smaller side, the way it is furnished combined with the many windows, makes it feel open and spacious.

I’ve returned from my first trip of the summer. I went to Lisbon Portugal. Even though it was a short trip, I have A LOT of content to share. I might have to break it down into 3 to 4 blogs. So get ready…

There’s one aspect that never fails to overwhelm me before a trip: packing! So I messaged my friends Rachel Bendavid and Leah Corselli for some packing tips. Rachel, an expert traveler, managed to travel to Italy for two weeks with only a carry-on! Impressive! On my last trip to Slovenia, I overpacked. So this trip I wanted to take Rachel’s advice and pack light. Finding the balance between carrying enough options to suit my moods and the desire to travel light is not easy. In the past, my suitcase would burst at the seams with an excess of clothes. So here’s my guide (and Rachel’s tips) for packing your carry-on for summer vacation.

Quiet luxury is anything but silent. This new-fashioned minimalism focuses style around quality over quantity. The concept of carefully curating a wardrobe of pieces that are high-quality and high-function is an investment. Selecting wearable pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable speaks to a sleek aesthetic. Stylish linen fashion is the epitome of the quiet luxury style.

It is easy to get lost in all the summer fashion trends. Trying to keep up with everything, you end up with a closet full of mix-matched styles. Stylish linen fashion houses a basic and natural color palette building a cohesive wardrobe where all your clothes work together seamlessly. Perfect for the summer heat, linen is cool and breezy.

Clean lines, smooth surfaces, open spaces…all of that sounds perfectly lovely doesn’t it…am I convincing anyone that you should join the bright white kitchen bandwagon? If you’re still on the fence then maybe my updated white kitchen round-up will persuade you!
