We’ve all seen blogger and models posing in Positano, I was a bit skeptical thinking ok, it looks amazing but sometime you are a bit far from reality. I can tell you the pictures we see really do justice to the place, it’s amazing, beautiful, authentic, we didn’t have too many tourists, and you can really enjoy la dolce vita ! 

The stairs are numerous but it worth going down to the beach and swim in the sea to enjoy the view of the town from the water. 

We stayed on the main beach, because I really like the vintage orange chairs, to me it was the perfect picture I had of the trip. The two other beaches seems beautiful too, many less crowded during the high season. 

Instead of renting chairs (around 18€ each a day) we opted for the lazy and shadier option: staying on the outdoor couch of a bar. Monsieur can’t bare the sun with his pale skin so the terrace was better for him. And it turns to be the cheapest option too ! We ordered a bottle of Proscecco for 19€ and stayed there the whole afternoon. Way cheaper and more fun than just staying on the chairs. Sipping cold and bubbly Proscecco, enjoying the view, I did feel like a diva for a day ! 

Talking about feeling like a diva… I felt Positano was the place where I would take my best outfit out. There is always a special outfit for a trip and this was it. I looked at many Dolce & Gabana and I have already told you about my little obsession over their designs, remember this dress here and this one here. 

For this time I wanted a statement headpiece, something that would make me feel like an Italian queen. I love how D&G use lemons and other traditional patterns in their outfits. I ordered supplies from Aliexpress, the plastic lemons, bees, and I had flowers from my hat supplies leftovers. I spend a good two hours one evening gluing on top of each other stuff. I used one of my mom’s old headband rolled in ribbons as a base. The gluing was kind of therapeutic ! I remember feeling extra relax after making the project just by working on something and being pleased by the result. I have to admit the only reason there is not more stuff on the headband is because I ran out of glue ah ah I could have kept going ! 

I was afraid Monsieur wouldn’t let me wear it, like come one, lemons ? Seriously ?! But he liked it and he was the one telling me, ok take it out of your bag now ! I’m glad he wasn’t walking 5m behind me pretending not to know me ! After a while I forgot about it and i just remembered when people stared at me.

The dress is D&G inspired, I have already told you about Aliexpress lookalike section where you can get inspired dressed from the runway for less. I love the color and buttons of this dress. 

The swimsuit was sent to me by Zaful, I love the scallop edge of it, it’s a very confortable and flattering bikini, not see through and good quality for the price ! I always like to stock up new bikini when I go somewhere on holidays, it makes a trip feel special. I’m had now few swimsuit from Zaful and I never had a bad experience from it. I think my favorite so far is still the one from Cuba: click here if you haven’t seen it !

Do you like the headpiece ? Would you dare wearing it ?

Nous avons pu profiter de la dolce vita italienne. Il y a beaucoup d’escaliers qui descendent jusqu’à la plage, ça fait faire de l’exercice. Il y a deux plages, une principale avec des restaurants en bord de mer, et une plage un peu plus éloignée, où nous sommes passés mais la plus belle vue est sur la plage principale.

Je rêvais des vieux transats jaunes/oranges que je voyais sur les photos, du coup nous sommes restés sur la plage principale. Les transats sont assez chers, 18e chacun par jour et nous avons trouvé une solution bien plus économique.

Dans un des bar de plage, il y avait des petits salons de jardin, avec vu sur la plage, et la bouteille de Proscecco était à 19e, ce qu’il fait qu’au lieu d’être tout tramés sur les transats, nous avons une belle vue, un parasol et une bouteille bien fraiche à siroter tranquillement !

Nous nous sommes même fait des copains américains, nous avons bien papotés toute l’après-midi et comme nous sommes revenus 2 jours après… ils étaient encore là ! Et nous avons même diner avec nos nouveaux amis de Floride fraichement retraités !

Cette escale italienne dans ce Positano plein de charme restera longtemps dans nos mémoires, à tel point que même presque qu’un an après, monsieur me dit parfois,  » tu sais où j’aimerai me téléporter ?? » Sur la plage à Positano en train de boire du proscecco et voir toute la ville devant moi ».
