St. Charles Avenue

Editor’s Note: La Dolce Vita

Summer has officially arrived, and with it comes changes in our wardrobes, routines, and, for the lucky, our scenery. Whether you’re jetting off to Europe or dreaming about your next big adventure, this issue is all about embracing the season.

We kick things off with a first-class tour through Italy by train, although any transport method will do. Think old-world elegance, five-star service, and some of the most breathtaking stops in the country. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the shores of Lake Como, we explore grand resorts and curated experiences that make the journey itself a destination.

But let’s be real, long flights (and even longer travel days) can do a number on your skin. Feeling refreshed and ready for your close-up when you arrive after any long-haul trip makes it much more enjoyable. On page 34, you will find a guide to skincare on the go—what to pack, how to prep, and the often-overlooked rituals of post-travel recovery. Whether you’re landing in Florence or simply coming home to the heat, you’ll find expert tips for glowing through it all.

With Father’s Day around the corner, we’ve also rounded up thoughtful gift ideas for the traveler. And for summer style, our fashion page reflects what the season demands, effortless elegance.

Lastly, as wellness continues to dominate our digital feeds, we pause to ask: who can you really trust? Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, takes a closer look at the world of online wellness influencers and offers a discerning lens to view the advice we’re so often sold.

We hope this issue inspires you to travel well, live well, and soak it all in.
