Welcome to the Mediterranean—a world where stilettos are the footwear of choice, athleisure doesn’t exist, aperitivo hour is every hour, and carbohydrates have never been off limits.
Why do we dream of wine tasting in Umbria or sunset yachts on the Côte d'Azur? Because we all want to escape somewhere truly fabulous — where everyone looks fantastic, and just gets sexier with age. That place is called the Mediterranean.
Author Danielle Pergament transports readers to this sun-drenched world where pleasure is a priority, pairing comedic essays on the Mediterranean lifestyle with tutorials for eyeliner like Penelope Cruz, scarf styling like Grace Kelly, and navigating cobblestones in stilettos—all accompanied by fun, colorful illustrations. With this book by your side, la dolce vita is yours for the taking.
Witty and transporting: Comedic essays and sharp observations capture the irresistible allure of Mediterranean life
Style tutorials included: Iconic looks from Penelope Cruz eyeliner to Grace Kelly scarf styling made achievable
Beautifully illustrated: Playful artwork from celebrated New Yorker illustrator Mokshini on every page
Perfect for travelers of all sorts: An escapist read for anyone who loves European culture and dreams of a Mediterranean holiday, or is packing their bags and heading there soon
