If you missed it (and honestly, who’s paying that much attention?), the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year was revealed as… Mocha Mousse.
Not exactly a showstopper, but I love it, and it fits my travel mood board.
Interestingly enough, it seems to fit everyone's mood right now, fashionista's are all noting this years design collections are beige. Maybe since our world is a bit “colorful” right now?!
Warm, earthy tones. Sunbaked landscapes. From Morocco’s dunes to Australia’s red rock gorges, here are four destinations that channel the Mocha Mousse vibe.
Not into Mocha? How about Cerulean Blue? Click below for the current issue of Virtuoso Life, which is all about the water.
P.S. Ready to match your next getaway to an earthy color palette? Let’s turn this muted hue into a bold itinerary. Hit reply or click my email link below, and I’ll help you plan a trip that’s as gorgeous as Mocha Mousse was meant to be.
P.P.S If you have a vacation in mind, let's talk ASAP. I am hosting a safari in June, so will not be able to start new or finalize trip designs May 19-June 16.
P.P.P.S I am crowdsourcing ideas for a couple of 2026 small trips. Couples or singles. Group size 8-12ish, May or June 2026.
Here are some of my thoughts, hit reply and let me know yours.
*Southern Spain ( wine, culture, and a riding component for the horse lover)
*Safari ( Kenya and Tanzania, January or early June)
*River Cruise…Europe? Wine? Small intimate boat. Endless options here. Weather will be great after mid May.
*Yacht in Croatia to island hop. This could also work for early September 2026
*Provence, France (did you see the sample itinerary I sent out a few weeks ago?) If not, click the link below. I don't recommend the heavy pace of travel in this one, but wanted to share some ideas.
