ivory floral lace dress

This divine ivory floral lace dress is one of my monthly picks from Coast. I do appreciate that with the best will in the world, it isn’t really suitable to wear in winter, no matter how aesthetically pleasing it looks against the snow. It will however be perfect for our not-yet-booked honeymoon in August. (I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to travel again by then). And it might be a good choice to wear for my hen party/parties too. It’s rare that I get things with the intention of putting them away for a later date, but this is an exception-I was worried it would sell out if I waited. It comes in a black version too which I also adore and which I wore over Christmas (and in this blog post).

Note the fabulous mismatched earrings.

However, unlike the ivory floral lace dress, the vegan ivory ankle boots with the contrasting heel are wearable through at least three of our four seasons. They add a welcome touch of spring to a winter outfit and look striking against a dark outfit. they blend beautifully with shades of nude, blush and other soft pastels.

A little higher than ankle boots, but not as high as mid-calf, they are fashion forward style, and, may I suggest, pay homage to these beautiful leather ivory boots by,Gabriela Hearst. (The Coast ivory boots are on the left, the Gabriela Hearst on the right).

~Sicily Day 7🇮🇹~ Goodbye Mount Etna, Castel ~Sicily Day 7🇮🇹~
Goodbye Mount Etna, Castelmola and Taormina 🌋. 
Hello Palermo. 
It took about 3 1/2 hours to drive to the other side of Sicily where we’re staying for three nights. We had a late, leisurely lunch at @fudbocs which overlooks the marina, then a wander around the botanical gardens. I popped into Santa Maria church after that because I can’t walk past a church abroad ⛪️ An early night beckons so we can be up early to visit one of Sicily’s famous street markets.

We took the bus again from Castelmona to Taormina then got the cable car 🚡 down to Isola Bella beach. Again, a pebble beach which makes paddling and swimming difficult, but the crystal clear water makes the ungainly exits worth it 🇮🇹💙👙

Today we took a cable car to Lido il Delfino in Taormina, a small shingle beach with the most beautiful clear water. I had a divine tuna spaghetti for lunch. 
This evening we came back up to Castelmona and had dinner for the second time at Antico Caffe San Giorgio which I highly recommend. Swipe through to see the beautiful moon shining on the sea and also my swordfish which was cooked to perfection.

We’ve get the most wonderful day. We took the bus from our hilltop hotel in Castelmola down to the stunning town of Taormina. We went to the Teatro Antico di Taormina (amphitheatre), then ambled through Taormina’s charming streets 🇮🇹🍋

~Sicily Day 3 🌋~ Today we drove to Mount Etna. ~Sicily Day 3 🌋~
Today we drove to Mount Etna. We parked and took a cable car to around 3000m then a 4x4 bus to take us higher still. We trekked (quite informally but with a guide) as far as we could to see large craters and the summit of this extraordinary mountain. I had never seen anything like it before- the terrain looked other worldly. September isn’t peak tourist time but there were still plenty of parties on the mountain - yet it was almost eerily quiet. Given the propensity for eruption, the quiet calmness was remarkable. Do swipe through to see the steam pouring from the summit. 
When we got back to the hotel, we had the mother of thunderstorms with torrential rain which stopped play somewhat 🌋⛈️🇮🇹

We collected our hire car and checked into the beautiful hotel @hotel_villa_sonia at the top of a hill above Taormina. The hotel is quaint and the staff are brilliant. But we chose this hotel for the spectacular views over Mount Etna (swipe to see more). She had her head in the clouds but hopefully we’ll see more of her over the next few days. 
We ate at @lacavernawinebarcastelmola - I had tuna and it was excellent. The local wine was rather good too!

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.
