Summertime and the living's easy for Christie Brinkley!

The 61-year-old model looked downright stunning while parading around Italy with her family earlier this week.

The bubbly blonde posted a series of jealousy-inducing images on Instagram, including one glamorous shot of her striking a pose with her kids in a teal monokini—damn, Christie, lookin' good!

"Climbing up to see the Saint in the Grotta Bianchi in honor of our beloved Poppy," she wrote in the picture that also showed Alexa Ray Joel and her half siblings Jack and Sailor Brinkley.

The supremely photogenic crew all looked equally relaxed—and tanned, we might add—from their summer vacation and appeared to be enjoying the mix of R&R and exploring all the sights the Italian coast had to offer.

"Loving Living La Dolce Vita," Christie captioned another beautiful photo, this time, one of her and her son soaking up the sun on a lazy afternoon at the beach.

She also made fans green with envy with a group pic of everyone on a boat, with one killer sunset and backdrop, and wrote, "Positano! All hands on deck!"

And while you can take the girl out of Hollywood, you can't escape the life of a celebrity!

It turns out that despite being miles and miles away from home, Brinkley ran into her old friend Mariska Hargitay in the lobby of one of the hotels in the area, Le Sirenuse.

She Instagrammed a pic of herself looking fabulous, yet again, and posted, "Just before bumping into the fabuloso @TheRealMariskaHargitay at one of our mutual favorite places and seconds after meeting Instagram friend Deb from Australia in the main piazza in Positano!"

Sounds like her trip is a success in more ways than one!
