Whew! Are you loving these posts as much as I am??? My list of future destinations is growing everyday…which means my home DIY projects will need to remain frugal! Today’s {One Way Ticket} is by uber-fabulous Christine, of Bijou and Boheme fame. I’m thrilled to have her here, and call her friend. Hi Sugarplum! has never been so classy as today.
First off, thank you so much to Cassie for having me!
There’s not much I love talking/thinking about more than an escape so….if I had a One Way Ticket, I’d say…
and head to Milan, Italy.
I’d stay at the 4 Seasons (in this renaissance suite) and wake each morning to the hotel’s glorious garden courtyard.
Each day would be filled with lazy walks around the fashion capital and plenty of sight seeing.
And by sight seeing, I mean shopping.
And since I’d be in Milan, it would have to be only at the best fashion ateliers.
After experiencing all that the city had to offer, I’d head out to the countryside and by that I mean, the wine region.
I think the region of Brescia sounds just about perfect.
I’d stay at the L’Albereta resort in Franciacorta.
Rooms with retractable roofs that allow you to sleep under the stars, lush gardens, 5 star restaurant, gorgeous spa….check/yes please/when do I leave?

My days in the wine region would be spent doing the only things you should be doing in such a place…drinking, relaxing, rejuvenating, eating…all outside amongst the sweet Italian vines.
Definitely my idea of a One Way Ticket kind of trip.
You?
Thanks Cassie- loved this excuse for a little imaginary retreat!

Sounds like the perfect vacation! Wine and shopping are the perfect combo.
Been through Milan, on a train (not the best part of the city, mind you). Beautiful hotels!
Ok, I guess I could suck it up and hang out there for awhile. 😉
So gorgeous!
Oh I'm jumping in too 🙂
My parents just got back yesterday from Italy. I am so in the mood for a trip. This series is reminding me of my need to travel.

That is pretty much all I can think about after those amazing images! Today is sure to be super unproductive after all my scheming on how to get to Milan…(c: Christine never disappoints!
Looks like a dreamy escape! I want to go now too!
Yes, please!! Make that 2 one-way tickets!!
I want to go on this vacay! The Four Seasons is beautiful! And going shopping at all those glam shops would be amazing
