Yes, there are plenty of serious things happening in the world but there is nothing wrong with wanting a pretty new dress, a delicious glass of wine, and a great getaway. Just one of these treats would make me smile, all three would be a little taste of heaven! From very affordable to super luxurious - Italy is the theme that ties my wish list together.
The Dress: Marni at H&M
Silk Dress - $79.95
High-end Italian fashion house Marni is the latest luxe designer to create an affordable capsule collection for H&M. I love the silhouette of this dress and the bold pattern is striking but not over-the-top. Silk is also such a versatile fabric - layer this fun frock with a blazer and tights during the cooler months and go bare-legged when the heat is on. Available March 8 in over 250 H&M stores worldwide and online.
The Drink: Falanghina dei Feudi di San Gregorio
Priced around $18 per bottle
This refreshing and easy-to-sip white wine from the Campania region is perfect for an apertif or paired with fish,vegetables, and mild cheeses. And, look at that sleek and sexy bottle! Falanghina is an ancient grape variety considered to be one of Italy's best. Founded in 1986, Feudi di San Gregorio is a young winery that is committed to preserving the tradition of the wines of Southern Italy and pursuing new possibilities.
The Destination: Hotel Adler Thermae Spa & Resort - Tuscany
Located in the heart of Tuscany and surrounded by rolling hills and terraced vineyards, Adler Thermae Spa & Resort was named one of the 10 best wine spas in the world by Gayot. The philosophy at Adler Thermae is "wellness and balance" and the property offers many treatments using the grapes and seeds from the local vintners, including the Bacchus Ritual which is a luxurious massage and wine bath. Wine tasting is also available in the Adler Thermae’s cellars and an outstanding wine menu offered at dinner. Molto bene!
