Last month was a biggie for me. I received married on the finish of June in a fun-filled London marriage ceremony in my neighborhood of Hackney, with 145 of my nearest and dearest. We danced by way of the warmth to pop classics, ate full-to-the-brim souvlaki wraps, and usually had probably the most foolish, pretty time. I’m barely bereft that I’ll not often have one other event to put on an enormous taffeta robe (mine was made by the gifted designers at The Own Studio), or decorate with an iconic Simone Rocha pearl egg clutch.
After packing up the marriage venue the following day, my companion and I hopped on a flight (after which a ferry) to the Italian island of Ischia to decompress. And decompress we did, with lazy days spent floating within the sea and soaking within the thermal swimming pools on the lodge the place we holed up—San Montano—which has now turn into a agency favourite and someplace we’re already planning to return to for a future marriage ceremony anniversary. We ate exceptionally nicely, hopping between small trattorias, native pizza spots, and seashore golf equipment. My hankering for correct buffalo mozzarella since returning has been insatiable. Two weekends earlier than the large day, I additionally ventured to the Cotswolds for a distant cabin keep to settle any pre-wedding jitters. If you want the concept of a cabin however don’t need to forgo any luxuries, the newly opened Alcoves are a deal with.
All in all, I believe I’ll look again on June 2026 as among the best months of my life, which suggests July has some huge boots to fill. More realistically, although, its process is to stave off the inevitable post-wedding blues. First on the agenda is a low-key weekend within the metropolis, the place I’ll be going to the Tracey Emin exhibition, seeing a screening of Olivia Wilde’s new movie The Invite, and mooching from espresso store to espresso store, writing, planning, and regrouping after a number of busy months. Then the remainder of the month is filled with much more love, with two weddings (dotted throughout England) and a keep at The Hoste Arms in Norfolk, close to the place a few of my household reside. On the ultimate day of July, I’ll be touring as soon as extra, this time to Mykonos—my first go to—for a sluggish jaunt across the island, testing a number of motels and dealing my means by way of my summer season TBR pile. I’ve simply completed the humorous and razor-sharp Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash, and subsequent up is Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly.
