The Perfect Weekend in Taormina, Sicily
Updated from original post March 15, 2022 Delta’s non-stop flight from JFK to Catania landed earlier this week (May 21st) with as much fan fare as you’d expect. I’m talking a water archway welcoming the plane on the runway in the tradition of blessing an inagural flight, food and music. I’ve always said Sicily is the Italy Americans want to see when they come over here (see via Instagram). On the same day, United Airlines launched New York to Palermo. Sicilian tourism, steadily on the rise, marked by the success of shows like the White Lotus, has officially reached its new golden era of luxury tourism. Michele quipped today that that New York to Catania flight was really for Americans wanting to head to Taormina. You may have heard of Taormina, a hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily because of its glitzy international film festival or as it’s one of the towns on the magical Mount Etna hiking trail and most recently as the true star of what is arguably the best season of HBO’s White Lotus thus far.

The Perfect Summer Dress: Sicily Debut
I found the perfect summer dress! A google search lead me to it. It’s Simone Rocha x H&M. With so many people asking me about the dress — even before I posted our engagement photos — I decided to post about this summer dress because I’m kind of obsessed with it and the look. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of it this summer! I was looking up “red check summer dresses” and found it on Poshmark, then found my size New With Tags on Vestiaire. It was my first time using the app so I also got $25 with WelcomeUS code. Customer service was great — there were delays with USPS. I reached out to H&M about this collection but they never got back to me. The collection was kind of slept on probably due to the “pancake” and I hardly saw influencers promoting it. I loved when my friends Carolyn & Sophie had my Veronica Beard loafers and I love bringing good deals to you guys, I also love procrastinating because I have …
