ten years on and the dream is well and truly alive....



My gorgeous friend Carla is celebrating. It is ten years ago that she swapped her corporate life in Sydney for the joy of living in Italy, finding true love and learning the art of photography. In her first book, Italian Joy, she writes of her dreams, her search for new beginnings and the happiness she ultimately found in Florence. It is a 'must read' for all of us romantics who dream of change and of faraway travel. 

Carla and I have been friends for what seems like forever. To say best friends sounds so corny and so childlike, but she is a best friend to me in the truest sense of the word. She is the best. We understand each other, we resonate to the same beat and we live and breath aesthetics. We both grew up in Australia and we both moved to Europe to pursue our dreams - hers Italian, mine French. Click here to read the introduction to Italian Joy and the chance to win one of her beautiful books. 

Follow your dreams....I think that's the simple message, xv
