Today was my favorite kind of day at Princi…when so much new shipment comes in it feels like Christmas, when good friends (little & big) come by to visit, when our favorite designers personally drop off new goods (thanks Temma & Lola!!), and when the whole day just feels like one big party. It was definitely one of those days and the energy in the store was electric! Just lovin’ on our Princi family & friends today…xox
love, Princi xo
It’s been a hotbed of activity here at Princi this week…and it’s only Wednesday! We kicked the week off with a visit from the lovely Niki of Luxury Jones fame (along with her little pup Carlos)…she dropped off more boots (yay!!) and a bevy of new styles she’d been working on just for us! Then we all fell madly in love with Bosley, Cari’s adorable mini poodle. Then there were all the shipments! Off-the-charts sexy Sophia Loren-esque body-hugging dresses from Ticci Tonetto, Jen’s Pirate Booty bags (I’d like one of each please), some insane Mikal Winn one-of-kind cuffs, intoxicating new scents from Ebba’s new Boho Collection, and the sold-out Otis & Maclain aztec print skirt is now back in stock! So basically we’re just bracing ourselves for a crazy (fun) weekend…you’ve got to love summer in Venice :)
It’s time for beaches, bonfires, teepees, tents, laying in the grass, picking fruit from trees, late night star gazing, early morning hiking, holding hands, toes in sand, flowy dresses, sun-kissed tresses, and long, languid, dreamy days. It’s summer. And we love it. -Princi xo
Had a wonderful Sunday just strolling around Venice, taking random pictures, chatting with neighbors at garage sales, and photographing the eclipse! Sometimes it’s those simple weekends spent exploring close to home that make you really appreciate where you live :)

The Venice Garden Tour is tomorrow, and if you’ve never been, we think you should go! Although it’s always in Venice, the neighborhoods change each year, so each tour promises new adventures and discoveries. And since it’s Venice, you can count on a wonderful mix of beauty, strangeness, and eccentricities while you meander through private homes and gardens. And of course we think you should stop by Principessa first and get a hat…tomorrow’s forecast calls for sunny skies and not a chance of rain. Enjoy :)

It was a leisurely, languid Sunday at the Maltby House, where great friends gathered to celebrate Simon’s birthday…the food was delicious, the garden was beautiful, and the people were among my favorites…all in all, a wonderful way to spend the day xo

When you commission Venice artist Simon Maltby to do anything in your home, you can be assured the results will be nothing short of spectacular. Such is the case at the Marmol Radziner home of Jonathan Sela and Megan Schoenbachler…
In the “not-just-because-he’s-my-boyfriend” category, talented local artist Gregory Beauchamp is really making a name for himself these days. Featured in the ‘sneak peek’ section of Design*Sponge yesterday, Gregory’s home is a true example of Venice living…half the treasures were found at local flea markets and alleyways! And his beautiful art is a reflection of his home…simple, thoughtful, inspirational and best of all, affordable! His work has been published in several books and magazines and he’s been featured on countless design blogs…thought it was high time I gave my man a little shout out of my own :)
