These were the days…I then took it for granted to spend my yearly three month vacations in all the above places…Times have changes but i will admit that I still do not wear sunscreen, need my vitamin D!
have a great week end.
Beautiful post!
Will you be at the shore??

Love, love, love you post!I’m fortunate enough to recognize several of these incredible summer spots; Cannes, Positano, Capri, etc….
I have been sending energy out to the Universe to get our family over to Europe this summer. Your blog post has just furthered along my hopes and dreams. Merci!
I love these iconic images. They capture a specific subculture perfectly.
Love this post. This is such an elegant throwback to really classy sophisticated ways. Look what is glorified now..The Jersey Shore..yuck, makes my skin crawl. Between the loations, the glamorous people, the chic settings and overall sophisticated vibe, that seems to sadly be a thing of the past, this post is something that takes us all back to a very special time and place. Just beaufiful!
Happy Holiday Weekend to you!

Beautiful Post! Capri is a magnificent place. I visited it several years ago; I think I’m due for another trip.
So glam!! I especially love the first image with the red umbrellas! I heart Grace Kelly – timeless!

WONDERFUL images !
Have a super week.
Thanks for transporting me to the beach. Like your reader meenal@ maison marigold and the enchanted home said, those were beautiful times and the fashion was so classically beautiful and sexy too.
Indian Rocks Beach Florida is truly special and one can be away from it all.
Summer as a beautiful dream…And I still hold my breath when I come across an image of Grace Kelly…Perfection
Thanks for curating this fabulous collection of images — I want to live inside this post! What a perfect portal to summer.
beautiful post..I’m dreaming of sunshine!
Oh that red-and-white striped 1950s suit!! My oh my. Not too subtle, was it?
Personally, I’d like one of those tanned surfer dudes holding the boards in the photo. 🙂
