As the seasons change, I find myself dreaming of cobblestone streets, azure coastlines, and the sweet scent of blooming bougainvillea. Soon, I'll be embarking on a journey that has long called to my heart—a whirlwind trip through Europe, with stops in Paris, Barcelona, Mallorca, Portofino, Rome, Capri, and Marbella. Each destination offers its unique charm and allure, and I can't wait to soak in the beauty, culture, and inspiration they have to offer.
Travel has always been more than just a getaway for me—it's a chance to learn, grow, and reconnect. Exploring new places teaches us about history, art, and different ways of life, but it also reminds us of our own strength and resilience. It's a gentle nudge to step outside our comfort zones and embrace the unfamiliar. I firmly believe that every journey changes us, leaving us a little wiser and a lot more inspired.
This trip holds special significance, as it's a reminder of the importance of putting ourselves first, especially as women and mothers. We give so much of ourselves to others—our families, our work, our communities—that we often forget to nurture our own dreams. But self-care is not selfish; it's essential. By fulfilling our aspirations and taking time to recharge, we return to our loved ones as our best, most vibrant selves.
To all the incredible mums out there: let this be your sign to go after what sets your soul on fire. Whether it's planning a dream trip, pursuing a new hobby, or simply taking a well-deserved break, you deserve it.
While I'm away, rest assured that my amazing team at Martha's Vineyard will be holding down the fort. The boutique and our online store will remain open seven days a week, ready to serve you with the same warmth and charm you’ve come to expect. Whether you’re shopping for the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe or just popping in to say hello, we've got you covered.
As I prepare for this adventure, I’m filled with gratitude for the support of our wonderful community. Thank you for allowing me to chase my dreams—it means the world to me. I'll be sharing snippets of my travels along the way, so stay tuned for updates and inspiration from across the globe.
Here’s to dreams, adventures, and living life to the fullest. Bon voyage—for now! 🌍✨
Thanks to my mum Wendy for watching my moody teenagers for me to achieve this dream xx
