Summer Spot: Sicily

Q. This morning I woke up in:

A. MAISON ESSENTIELE Striped boyfriend pants and an old white t-shirt.

Q. My Coffee order is?

A. Either a double espresso or an iced long black — it’s weather dependent! In Italy, espresso always.

Q. I'm currently reading/listening to?

A. I just finished reading Once Upon A Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. It was so sad but so good. I’m also re-reading The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolfe. I feel it’s one of those books you can pick up time and time again, and constantly pull out something new.

Q. My favourite spots in?

A.  Sicily is varied — you can have so many experiences from full Euro glamour to quaint coastal towns. One of my favorite spots is Salina, an island just off the north coast. It’s volcanic and lush. I love Hotel Ravesis in the main town of Malfa. Rent a boat and spend the day cruising around nearby Lipari.

Favignana is also special — it’s much more wild and has an incredible energy. I stayed at Dimora Cala Del Pozzo. It’s like being in someone's home, but with the comforts of a hotel. There’s an incredible bar and restaurant just out the froont where you can  sit and watch the sun sink into the horizon. The port town is also dotted with restaurants and natural wine bars, you could easily spend a week there.

On the mainland, I love the town of Scopello. I stayed at the Tonnara di Scopello (an old Tuna fishing villiant converted into a hotel) and it's beyond beautiful.

Q. My go-to holiday outfit is?

A. I love the white lace scoop neck maxi over a bikini, and the white buckle dress for dinner. I’m all about holiday whites.

Q. My MAISON ESSENTIELE selects on holiday?

A. The black silk Scoop Neck Maxi, white Buckle Dress, white Lace Scoop Neck Maxi, Boyfriend Pant, and Resort Shirt in a bigger size to wear by the pool.
