Italian Summer Vibe
We’re officially halfway through summer, and lately, it feels like everyone is posting from someplace beautiful—whether it’s a dreamy village in Italy, a coastal town, or just their prettiest backyard picnic. Most of the time, I’m genuinely happy to see people soaking it all in—but I won’t lie, there are definitely moments when I catch myself thinking, I wish I was there. So this weekend, I decided to bring that Italian Girl Summer vibe home. I started hunting for the little things that create that mood—striped beach towels, sun-soaked scents, rustic ceramics, and breezy linen. And full disclosure: not everything I found is technically from Italy. (So no need to @ me if one of the candles is from Portugal—we’re going for the vibe
This kitchen is one of my past projects, (Cabinets by Topnotch Design Studio ). It’s rooted in classic, timeless design—but what I love most is how easily a space like this can be refreshed with just a few thoughtful layers.
The items in this collage are all about bringing in that Italian Girl Summer feeling: sun-soaked colors, painterly patterns, and everyday pieces that spark joy. A platter here, a pop of lemon yellow there—accessories like these let you shift the energy of a room without changing the bones.
This is the collection I’ve pulled together to capture that Italian Girl Summer energy—warm light, woven textures, and that effortless feeling of being somewhere beautiful (even if you're just home for the weekend). These pieces made me feel excited to reset my space and romanticize the everyday. If you're dreaming of the same, this list is for you. Enjoy my Pins for this Vibe Italian Summer Board

I layered this Lucie de Moyencourt platter in front of my everyday cutting boards, and suddenly the whole corner felt more alive. It’s such an easy way to bring in color and pattern—no nails, no paint, no big commitment. Just a little shift. I’m a huge fan of styling that lets you change your mind (often). Commitment? Not really my thing when it comes to decor.
