I’m doing a mini redo of our small bathroom and the theme is like girlie, beach-ish so this actually kinda fits in perfect.

Feeling these summer vibes! I enjoyed This Summer Will Be Different and The Sicilian Inheritance- definitely listen to the accompanying podcast when you’ve finished it!

And I’m a huge tinned fish fan - faves are anchovies and smoked salmon but will crack open a tin of anything!

Oh my gosh this post is my favorite of yours, yet! Firework Girl Summer is so me and I freaking love that term! And can we talk about wine glasses making life 100% better?! I love a fun glass so much. I'm gonna need to travel to come eat at La Rosa's. Sounds and looks absolutely divine.

No one in my friend/family circle likes sardines except me. I feel seen.

Haha I love this. perhaps when sautéed with olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes served over pasta they might reconsider…

The sardine content is everything, added some of those to my wishlist! Also loved the dress you are wearing on your picture with the coffee, where is it from? Can you share a link?

Thank you Kristen! Love the sardine girl make-up bag, so cute! 👛 I haven't read any Emily Henry yet, but I'll have to add 'Funny Story' to my list. xx

A summer round up would not have been complete without it. The virality lives on, I hope! I think you'd enjoy EmHen, along with the rest of us who can't stop gushing about this one. xx
