The Shrimp at Sea - Richard Avedon 1967
This editorial first appeared in Vogue in 1967, shot by the legendary Richard Avedon in Greece. The editorial is a romantic adventure that starred supermodel Jean Shrimpton and French photographer Jeanloup Sieff. I love how even in our modern world, this editorial is still very much a narrative of love, lust, adventure and jet-set.

Villa Feltrinelli, Italy
Behold! Some of the remarkable scenes at Hotel Villa Feltrinelli on the western shore of Lake Garda, Italy. The neo-Gothic villa was built in 1892, commissioned by the Feltrinelli Family as a summer home, an escape from the heat in Milan. It was later restored in 1997 by hotelier Bob Burns, of the Regent International. Guests can relax by the swimming pool on the property while enjoying home-made ice cream (!!!), enjoy the lush gardens with a book, or board the hotel's launch, Riva, for an afternoon on the water. Arrivederci!
