If I can’t go on vacation, I can at least try and recreate it at home. That’s exactly what I did the other night. I made the chicken dish we learned how to make in our cooking class in Tuscany. We stayed at the most charming boutique hotel Poggio Piglia, and chef Salvatore Consoli lead us through a 3 course meal consisting of homemade Ravioli, Eggplant Parmesan, and Italian braised chicken.
If you want to take it to the next level you can adorn a piece from Le Sirenuse’s SS2020 collection. I happen to love this top & skirt set along with this dress & this dress (on sale), and these Ancient Greek x Le Sirenuse sandals. Also Amalfi coast ready is this Agua Benita dress (this one too), and swim suit (on sale). Dinner from Tuscany and wardrobe from the Amalfi Coast…perfect staycation.
