I hope you’ve enjoyed Part 1 of my Amalfi Coast travel diary about Amalfi, Ravello and Positano. Part 2 focusses on a place you definitely need to know about if you’re planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast: Hotel Santa Caterina.

Cali Girl at heart
Before I’m sharing my second travel diary from Amalfi (and the dreamy hotel Santa Caterina) with you, here’s a little intermezzo: an outfit that pretty much sums up my current basic everyday look.

Amalfi Coast Travel Diary – Part 1

Want to bamboo with me?
Maybe I’m feeling the feminine me at the moment – currently I’d love to wear flare jeans, deep-V silk tops, patent Mary-Jane pumps, delicate diamond hoop earrings and oval, old-Hollywood sunglasses.
