A big warm welcome to you Dotties on the dawn of The Italy Issue! We decided what better way to warm our souls than with a little Italian Sunshine? Follow along on this page here for all the Italian fun as we explore everything to do with Italian weddings and honeymoons!

We’ve been stuck in our offices keeping warm this week (though did you see the gorgeous dinner we got to enjoy at Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel with The Daily Edited? SO divine, That La Dolce Vita table? Our favourite of course! Catch it via our story highlights!). This week’s roundup is a little one as we gear into Italian content, so I’ve added some of my favourites from around the web to the mix!
