When dressing for Lisbon, my tips: embrace color. When dressing for Lisbon, my tips: embrace color. Leave the heels. 

I brought one very reasonable pair for a black tie dinner party, but wore flats for everything else. The cobblestone sidewalks are steep and very slippery, so rubber soles are key. Bring sneakers!

Lisbon as a city leans casual and a bit beachy. Loose, breathable pieces are great and don’t be afraid to wear vibrant prints.

Lisbon is one of most fun places in the world to s Lisbon is one of most fun places in the world to shop. The name of the game is color. 🌈

My favorites:

@avidaportuguesa - the best shop in Lisbon for gifts & Portuguese goodies
@companhia.do.campo - beautiful bright and laid-back home decor
@joalhariadocarmo - stunningly ornate filigree jewelry (an art unique to Portugal)
@ceramicafactory - colorful and affordable Portuguese-made ceramics & tableware
@lojareal - across the street from EmbaiXada, another palace housing independent vendors
@21pr.conceptstore - a fantastic selection of bags, jewelry and candles - I wanted to bring so much home!
@amelieautheatre - vibrant clothing and accessories, a super fun vibe
@futah - maker of my favorite beach towels! I always snag I couple when I’m in Lisbon.
@umacantikhome - a cool collection of globally-sourced home goods

As for stuff to shop for in Lisbon:
• Pottery, linens, tile, tinned fish, port, cured ham, wine, filigree jewelry, salt, olive oil 

Just writing this is making me want to plan my next trip back!

The scarf is the Swiss Army knife of summer packin The scarf is the Swiss Army knife of summer packing — tames beach hair, dresses up a boring outfit, and stands in for a top in a pinch. Not to mention it takes up next to no space in your bag. Never travel without one.

Rolling hills, lush gardens, and a dreamy salt wat Rolling hills, lush gardens, and a dreamy salt water pool — the @goodstoneinn has the quaint country setting with the thoughtful amenities of a luxury resort. (Honestly, “inn” sells it short.)

My favorite things:

• a room that was just as cozy as it was luxe
• taking my coffee in the garden and listening to the birds
• geeking out over all the vegetables and herbs grown in their on-site sustainable garden
• meeting many cute animals on the farm (that donkey! 🥹)
• enjoying the most delicious eggs for breakfast direct from their chickens 
• hiking their 200+ acre property on one of the many beautiful trails
• stargazing by the fire pit after dinner

I actually went to high school just down the road from here and have always been curious about this fabulous place. Thank you Goodstone for offering me and my husband a lovely anniversary stay and bringing back many great memories of spending time in this area.

P.S. the Goodstone Inn is offering a 10% off discount on bookings made now and May 24, 2026 for stay dates until December 31, 2026.

🐎 Use code EPGSINN.
