hello friends! as i mentioned last week i’m feeling in need of a summer break so that’s what i’m going to do starting today. i’ve not taken an extended holiday in years and since i’ve been blogging for over 15 years now, i am trying to take some time to assess what i can bring to you that’s new and worthy of your time and viewership. i feel like blogs, in general, have died off considerably, and instagram is all over the place with its algorithms (and seems to be turning into a video platform, which isn’t really my vibe) so i feel the need to give this new social media trend and my future in it some careful consideration. if there’s something you’d like to see here (or less of!) please do let me know — i’d love to hear from you. in the meantime, i’m also aching to travel but feel a little fearful, like many of us, to go anywhere with covid still not contained to a level where i feel comfortable jumping on a plane and traveling abroad. so this week’s friday finds are a little bit different! as i take leave for my break, i’m going to try to evoke italy and take us on a virtual holiday — the kind of holiday i’ve been craving on the italian riviera (these photo prints by stuart cantor will take you there pronto). so, join me, won’t you? grab an aperol spritz and some appertivos, kick back, and off we go. arrivederci for now and i’ll see you back here after the labor day break.

ciao! xo, victoria
