Styling Your Life Workshop Recap:: La Fortezza, Italy

Ciao guys! Well, our first La Fortezza Workshop went off without a hitch. We welcomed back Maren and Joanna for a La Fortezza Workshop reunion of sorts (they both attended my Strictly Styling Workshop last spring), and we met Joanna's friend florist Sarah.Eliza Honey was supposed to be our floral instructor, but the timing of her first baby made it impossible for her to join. I am looking forward to having her join us to teach us everything floral here in the next years. We missed her, but the trio did a great job and everyone who attended had a great time.We enjoyed many dinners on the terrace including a lovely apperitivo prepared by foodstylist/insturctor Maren. There were many beautiful florals around La Fortezza made by our attendees, and you gotta love that. Joanna taught a table setting class on the terrace; it is always fun to see how instructors use our things. The table was lovely.Thanks to the attendees, who quite frankly, I now call friends. The best part about these workshops is that new friendships forged, especially the friendships between the attendees. We had another duo form with 2 of our guests who met at the airport and became fast friends. We called them the "2 Kims". Chef Philip blew it out of the park, once again, with his amazing meals so thoughtfully prepared from all local ingredients from our kitchen garden. We welcomed our first intern ever, Adri. She's a wonderful addition to our close-knit team. The highlight of the workshop was that Heidi Rew from the Heidi Rew Show was here as well. She filmed and interviewed all of us including my stylist friend from Modena, Barbara (she's teaching with me this weekend at my "Strictly Styling Workshop"). It was wonderful having her with us. Heidi is a delight and her podcast is amazing. I hope you give her "The Italian Chronicles" a listen over the next couple weeks and make sure to subscribe to her channel. Her show is great!If you're in media drop, me a line. We are welcoming all media this year to help us promote this incredibly gorgeous place in Italy.
