VACANZA SUMMER ENERGY

Summer makes lovers of us all. Maybe it’s the sun, maybe it’s the slowness, but summer makes us softer in all the right ways, lighter, freer, a version of us we long for all year.

Because summer isn’t just a season, it’s an energy shift, the kind that invites you to romanticise everything. There’s electricity everywhere, buzzing through the air, tuning everyone to the same summertime frequency, high, hopeful and beautifully unbothered.

Our calendars? Booked and busy. Soirées, late dinners and wine dates that somehow stretch into midnight dancing. Yet the days move slowly, suspended between ocean dips and the ritual of choosing which bikini to wear like it’s a personality test.

This is the summer of mastering your signature drink, whether you’re a dirty martini girl or loyal to a perfectly chilled red. The summer of dessert being a non-negotiable: tiramisu spooned straight from the dish, pecan gelato dripping down your wrist, unapologetically sweet.

And of course, the borrowed makeup, the minimal routine, three products max, blended with your best friend’s fingers while you both lean into the mirror, salty hair tangled, skin kissed gold by the sun.

The summer of buying that one outfit you know is the dress of the summer, the one that becomes your identity. Everyone knows you for it, and there’s that one digi cam photo, captured on your friend’s camera, that earns a permanent spot on your Instagram feed. You’ll look back at that photo for years, remembering exactly how you felt like that girl. That’s the real essence of summer: effortless, intimate, a little bit undone in the most beautiful way. 

Here’s to summer, the version of us that arrives with it and the moments we dress for.

Ciao for now, Bella.
