Summer Destinations: Shopping in Venezia

It has been a few weeks without posts, and there is a good reason. Without further ado, here is what FOTW has been up to!

Over the past few weeks I have been touring vineyards and olive farms in Tuscany, holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa with one finger, shopping and dining on the back routes of Firenze, touring the country side of Chianti, and all the while with you in mind I have been seeking out the best places to shop in Italia, exclusive for FOTW readers!
This week there will be features from Venezia. I would like to show you a few places you can not miss during your summer travels while in Italia.

First stop, Pot-Pourri! Elegant and off the beaten path of the touristic roads of Venezia. Pot-Pourri has an at home feel providing lovely finds for the home as well as flattering ensembles to wear during your visit to the romantic city and these dresses are definitely romantic and ultra feminine!





I met the shop keeper who greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome all at once. I literally stayed in the store for the longest time viewing over the well kept shop lingering over knick knacks and pearl necklaces that would make an appearance in an Audrey Hepburn motion picture.

My favorite being the bold red polka dot dress. I first turned the corner - lost on my first day trying to make my way to Piazza San Marco. Then I turned the corner and saw it. First my eyes drifted to a gondola below, a newlywed couple drifting by being seranaded by a gondelier then up to this bold, red, polka-dot dress as on a mannequin, as if a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's while Hepburn sings Moon River. The site was lovely and inspiring.



I drifted into the store to take pictures to share with my FOTW readers. Pot-Pourri is a stop you shouldn't miss and I hope that the scene, when coming around the corner to this lovely shop, inspires you as well!

Enjoy your time to Venezia, and don't forget to stop by the unique and all together inspiring Venezia shop, Pot-Pourri.
