legend has it that the town of positano got its name when a ship carrying a painting of the madonna was crossing the sea and encountered a heavy storm.  there was a voice coming from the madonna saying “posa, posa” meaning “lay me down”.  the men fled to what is now known as the bay of positano and when they laid the picture on the beach the storm stopped.  

whether or not that is actually the case, i did find it ironic that we decided to lay down on the beach and take a nice snooze!

positano is just dreamy.  those houses all built into the coast sitting right on top of one another, the sparkling crystal clear water, the way it faces the sun, the drive along the coast to arrive in the town, all of it.  there is not too much to do in positano but we had the greatest time enjoying the warmth and each other’s company while taking in the beautiful views.

it felt great to bring back the bare legs after some cooler days in rome.  this dress from catch bliss boutique is so amazing, super comfortable and breezy; i absolutely love the boho vibe and the unique print.  definitely one of my favorite dresses and i loved how the light shows through the sheer overlay in these pictures!
