June 2023 | Let the sunshine in

Here we are at my most favorite season of all. Mediterranean summer is here and if you are lucky enough to live or visit a Mediterranean country right now, all you hear is the sound of cicadas and the waves of the sea.

Summer is a relaxed season, whether you are working or not, in a way you always feel more calm and relieved from the stresses of the winter. Maybe it has to do a lot that I spend my childhood summers in Greece, where summer is the season when the country blooms and offers generously all its beauty.

Excited to embrace the heat and vibes that the season brings, I personally can’t wait for the opportunity for reflection and change in pace.

Hotel Collection SPRING/Summer 2023, dedicated to the mainstays of summer holidays, presents Hotel Vermehlo in Melides, Portugal. This eclectic boutique hotel was designed by Christian Louboutin and absolutely fuels our decorating fantasies to the core. Louboutin, guided from his cultural passion, vision about architecture and design, created this jewel destination that leaves an everlasting impression once it's seen.

Talking about hotels always brings fragrance notes at the forefront of peoples' minds. Doesn’t it? Hoteliers always meticulously curate the fragrance notes that breeze like aromatic air throughout their properties that adds on on an unforgetable experience after all.

If travelling is not in your plans this summer, then why not bring some sunshine home?

Dive into the warmth and beautiful atmosphere of the island of Capri with the relaxing notes of orange, mandarin and lemon cardamom of Arancia di Capri home diffuser by ACQUA DI PARMA. A true invitation to sunny dreams.

Dior has recently unveiled the newest pieces of the Dioriviera capsule collection, which are truly celebrating the sweetness of summer living. One of our favorites is the Pink & Gray Dioriviera sun lounger. Showcasing the timeless pattern Toile de Joouy in a deep and warm pink color base this sun lounger is the perfect for day lounging in a hot summer day.

Expanding your horizons is about so much more than travel sometimes. It’s about being open to inspiration wherever you may find it, embracing the new, the different, the other through which you are able to infuse the sweetness of life to your daily moments.

Would love to know your thoughts, as always.
