Southern Italy, Masseria Potenti

As I look back at our honeymoon pictures, I must admit one of my favourite moments during the day was a cappuccino break, a momentary slow down after a morning of exploring new places. It gives you time to reflect on all the goodness taken in, just to listen to the crickets in the background and rest my legs from all the walking. This surrounding was peaceful, all the light coloured textures and white curtains, gave me a sense of calmness and comfort. Yes, I know the Italians forbid a cappuccino after 10am and generally I resort to an espresso, but sometimes this frothy goodness sipped in the shade is simply heavenly. I would say a moment like this, counts as the simple joys of life… it is a feeling that comes after an accomplished day once you slow down and feel the gratitude. For many years now, this particular ivory-white silk blouse is a staple item in my wardrobe and it seems to travel with me to every destination. I love the effect of the style paired with these just as dainty lace silk shorts, the combination is soft and feminine. Southern Italy has that slow lifestyle written all over it… ♥
