Greece Part Four: SANTORINI

Santorini may be one of the most touristy of the Greek islands but for good reason. The real Greek name of the island is "Thira", for some reason the Italian name Santorini seems to have struck a cord with travelers. It boasts two volcanoes(one is active), the most magical sunsets ever witnessed, an array of luxury hotels, a flourishing wine industry, ruins dating back to 3000BC, picturesque white wash villages nestled into the cliff side and of course speculation that it may possibly be the legendary Atlantis.

We opted to finish our trip to Greece with Santorini and could not be happier that we chose to do it that way. In the other places we visited every day was jam packed with adventures and a ton of walking and we wanted to finish with some luxury and pampering. Which is exactly what was delivered. We stayed in Oia at The Kirini, which is a fabulous hotel with an amazing staff who went above and beyond. Most days consisted of brunch, going for a walk, getting a pedicure, laying by the pool, taking a swim, getting a massage, reading, napping, walking and then an amazing dinner. 

One of the days we had a private yacht tour of the island and I cannot recommend this enough. It was filled with fruit, wine, snorkeling, Thira history lessons, a delicious meal literally on the water, champagne and a sunset I will never forget. One day when I am dying I will think back to that day and I will die happy.

Cascades of Silk & Lace.

This is such an easygoing look. It literally consists of two articles of clothing(not counting undergarments): a black tiered, asymmetrical, silk dress from BCBG and a White, Lace, Frill Kimono from Free People. Both pieces are so breezy and comfortable too, not to mention so soft on the skin. Even these Jeffrey Campbell X Free People Dodge Ankle Boots just slip right on. I added a swipe of berry to the lips(MAC matte lipstick in Diva), and a couple bright accessories to freshen it up. I got these earrings at Anthropologie on sale a few weeks ago. I love the turquoise and gold, it looks so great with burgundy, which I have been obsessed with lately. I have been reaching for this vintage clutch a lot the last week or two.
Now I got to go twirl off on weekend adventures.
