The Italian Essence
The Italian Style Discovery Experience – Tarquinia
Private Style & Self-Discovery Days in Italy
Discover your style. Reconnect with your essence. One beautiful day at a time.
This is not a retreat.
It is not simply boutique shopping.
La Dolce Vita Style Days are curated, private style immersion days in Tarquinia, designed for women who feel ready to rediscover who they are now — and express that woman with confidence, elegance and ease.
You choose how many days you need.
One. Two. Three.
You organise your own accommodation and travel, allowing you complete flexibility. I hold the space, guide your transformation, and curate each day around you.
Why Tarquinia?
A Hidden Italian Gem for Your Style Transformation
These experiences take place in the historic town of Tarquinia, a place of golden light, medieval streets and timeless Italian charm — just over an hour from Rome and 30 mins from the Port of Civitavecchia.
Its pace allows you to slow down.
Its beauty allows reflection.
Its boutiques allow discovery.
Why These Days Exist
Many women arrive in Italy knowing something needs to shift.
Their wardrobe no longer reflects them.
Their confidence feels quieter than it once was.
They are standing at a new chapter — retirement, empty nest, reinvention — and they want their outer image to match their inner growth.
These days are designed to gently realign you with your style identity.
Not through trends.
Not through pressure.
But through clarity, reflection, Italian beauty, and thoughtful style guidance.
Who is this for?
These days are for you if:
-
You feel disconnected from your current wardrobe
-
You want to understand your style at a deeper level
-
You are navigating change and want your image to evolve with you
-
You love Italy and want something more meaningful than a shopping tour
-
You value thoughtful, personal guidance
This is an intimate, one-to-one experience.
Choose Your Experience
You may book a single day, or build a multi-day journey.
Each day runs approximately 6 hours (10am–4pm), allowing space for reflection without overwhelm.

Day One — The Style Discovery Day
Your foundation.
Before you arrive, we meet via Zoom to explore where you are now and what feels out of alignment.
In Tarquinia, we begin with:
-
Style identity exploration
-
Body confidence and silhouette guidance
-
Colour and mood refinement
-
Guided boutique visits with purposeful insight (no pressure buying)

Italian lunch together (included)
-
Personal style notes and clarity to take home
Outcome:
You leave understanding what suits you now — not who you were ten years ago.

Day Two — Refinement & Expression
We deepen.
This day builds on your foundation and explores:
-
Wardrobe gaps and lifestyle alignment
-
The art of Italian accessorising
-
Fabric, proportion and polish
-
Intentional boutique exploration

Confidence and presence coaching

Lunch included
Outcome:
You begin dressing like the woman you are becoming.

This is where transformation settles.

You don’t just understand your style — you embody it.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Alice, US
I had such an amazing time - not only walking around this amazing town, but finding out my colours and my style and shopping in the boutiques. I have come home with an real idea of who I am and I have made some wonderful friends!
Karen, Canada
Loved everything about this. Elinor is so kind and understanding - I never felt uncomfortable or under pressure. I didn't buy anything other than a belt, but I have come back home with so many ideas.
Cathleen, US
Loved everything - sitting chatting for hours, the great food and wine, the company and on top of all that a new style, new hair and some additions to my wardrobe. And all this set in Italy - what more could a girl want?!!
