A Dream Come True
How do you make a dream come true? I read a quote recently that really got me thinking. It's from Earl Nightingale who was a speaker and writer in personal development. I've been reading a vintage business management manual he wrote called Lead the Field. While it is...
My Aspirational Dress
I was watching season 1 of Gossip Girl, and in the first Episode, Serena goes on a date with Dan wearing a sequin mini dress with thick black tights and ankle boots. I fell in love with this outfit. Despite the fact that Serena is supposed to be a teenager in GG, and...
Vintage Workouts I Still Love
I've been an on-and-off fitness enthusiast for several decades. I go through periods of enjoying exercise regularly, and then I get distracted and busy with something else, and I let it go. But each time I come back to it, I find myself returning to my old favorites....

WELCOME TO LA DOLCE VITA LIFESTYLE
ELEGANCE, GLAMOUR AND WELLNESS WITH AN ITALIAN FLAIR
Hello!
I am Donna
I’m the founder of the La Dolce Vita Lifestyle and author of The Big Book of Mediterranean Diet Cooking, which is available in bookstores all across the U.S.
This book came about because I’m a lover of all things Italian: the food, fashion, culture, wine, history, architecture, the landscape, and the people.
A few years ago, I left my fast-paced, high-stress job in search of something more. I learned to slow down, to enjoy healthy cooking, and to live life with passion and a sense of play.
I believe in making magical moments by adding a zest for life, an eye for beauty, and a feeling of connection to everything I do.
On these pages you’ll find recipes, lifestyle tips, craft projects, sparkly and shiny things, and advice on the art of living well.
If you’re a lover of food, beauty, style, and most importantly the sweetness of life, I would love for you to join me on this journey.
Let’s live la dolce vita together.
I’m happy you’re here.
Donna xoxo
