Sitting back at home, in that classic Aussie Summer heat, watching the tennis (of course!) thinking back to my time in Tuscany, the firsts words that come to mind would definitely have to be; rustic, charming, artistic and the obvious… shopping (sorry bank account… my bad…)
Panini Heaven
Get ready to be slammed by photos as I really couldn’t stop snapping…
I couldn’t not take a photo of this adorable dog… I mean just look at him… he’s in a jumper!
The village charm remained in this beautiful city as we looked out from the bell tower, seeing terracotta roof infinity. Well that was until they sprinkled out on the famous Tuscan country side, which sent me into uncontrollable dreams of me sunning myself all year round, reclining and sipping Chianti wine and eating bread dipped in local olive oil and balsamic vinegar…. ahhh girl can dream….
Not to mention having love hearts pounding out of my eyes as I window shopped… well… maybe a little bit of shopping… my suitcase would testify against the ‘little’ shopping… Zara, you are my second home. The leather, oooohhh that leather, you just gotta buy some while your there, the options and range is endless, I officially give you permission to go mad there – there’s no judgement here.
leather for dayyyyyyys
Vintage shop bliss ~ where I bought this knit
Our stay wouldn’t of been complete without visiting both Sienna and San Gimignano; magnificent medieval towns, still surrounded by the rolling hills and fascinating history at every corner.
Everything about this region just made me grin (well that’s a little understatement…), the food, the beauty, the art. You really can’t beat it my friends!
Pizza – you rock my world
So now there’s only one thing left to do… go pack your bags and hop the first flight to Tuscany!
Can I live here?
It was so hard to pick a flavour… every time.
My good mate, the Cookie.
I just wanna have an all day picnic at the Boboli Gardens
Venchi Gelati… oh how I wish there was a store in Australia
Thanks for stopping by (and taking the time to scroll through that mammoth amount of photos!) 🙂
Daisy and the Fox 
I am loving following your gorgeous photos from your holiday! I was in Italy as well recently, we totally could have run into each other haha but I feel like I can relate to you when it comes to being in awe of the food and culture 😀
Cheers

No way! That’s awesome! Where’d you go there? And how goooood was that pasta 😛
Happy holidays 🙂
Oh my, those pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Now I really want to go to Tuscany… Maybe I’ll settle and just watch Under the Tuscan Sun again. 🙂
Thank-you very much 🙂
Oh you must sometime, it is just like a dream there!
I hear ya- driving through the country side it reminded me so much of that movie – perfect for when the Italy withdrawal symptoms kick in 😀
Awesome! I’m so jealous. I am loving those umbrella lights. That gelato looks to die for. I wouldn’t mind stealing your big wooly scarf either….
it was all amazing 😀
haha that scarf did me wonders 🙂
