James Andrew making selections for his Italian romp - Illustration by Scott McBee
After some pretty extensive planning, research, and shopping, we’ve finally sorted out a fantastic trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast, and we’ll be spending the next ten days in some of the most heavenly places on earth including Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.
I have my rolling rack out, and I’m orchestrating some amazing outfits – can’t wait till you see what I’ll be wearing! I’m pulling together a brilliant collection of whites, blues and pinks in silks, linens, and cotton – casual shorts and slacks with interesting shirts and sandals for daytime fare, and for the evening, wonderful jackets and slacks, and of course the right shirts, pocket squares, belts, sunglasses, cuff links etc. etc.
We will be off until the 3rd of July- so just sit tight and get ready for some ridiculously fabulous posts when we return!
In the interim I’m leaving you with this brilliant illustration created for us by our very own ultra talented Scott McBee.
Ciao for now!

Sorrento is one of my favourite places in the world!

Buon viaggio James! Will you have time to drop in at the Grand Hotel Parco dei Principe? I think you’d love the cool blue & white Gio Ponti interiors.
Ahhh, look at lovely Nigel in the picture, bless him, super cute.
Buon viaggio James !!!
hi James
I only just discovered this fasinating blog. Really like your colour combination. I notice something rather striking in most of the photos – low waist trousers and a very flat tummy. Please share with us your secret in keeping in shape.

Hi James,
My favourite thing about Sorrento is the historic centre.
Most of it is a pedestrian area where cars are not aloud.
The cathedral of the city and the Basilica of Saint Antonino are wonderful.
Close to the main piazza of the city, you’ll find “Il Buco”, which is one of my favourite restaurants in Sorrento.
“Il Borgo” is also not bad (but more touristic), and it has a great view.
If you have the time, you have to visit Salerno. It’s a nice city close to the Amalfi Coast.
Napoli is not that close, but I think it’s a must-visit too.
It’s one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Really GORGEOUS!
Benvenuto in Italia 😉
Wow, sounds amazing! Have fun!
(and love the pic in this post, by the way!)
Fabulous James and Scott! What a wonderful holiday 🙂 Safe travels. xx
Hope you are enjoying yourself in Italy James!!
Can’t wait for an update on your stylish vacation!
