Flashback - Italy

Going through the most recent Anthropologie catalog (a constant source of inspiration for me) I was taken by this gorgeous image. Yeah, the dress is nice, but I'm completely fixated on the tile pattern.



It mentally took me back to Italy, to my honeymoon (on '06), to an adorable Italian hotel in Sorrento called the Hotel Parco dei Principi, designed by famed Italian architect, Gio Ponti. This place was all about the tile.

Photo by me.

Hanging out here everyday wasn't so bad.

And there was plenty of this too:
I'm dreaming about my next big adventure...
