STREET WEAR

  I have had my eye of the Off White industrial belt for quite some time but never could decide on which color I wanted. After popping into some stores across the river today I saw this blush pink one and immediately fell in love. I love how versatile this belt is! You can dress it up with a black blazer dress and tie it at the waist or for a street style vibe, you can put it over a oversized tee like I did here to show your figure off a little bit more.

  So I'm sure you've all seen your favorite style icons rocking a pair of biker shorts. I decided to grab a pair from Fashion Nova and they are actually so comfortable and easy to throw on with an oversized tee like this Nirvana one from Urban Outfitters. I have also been dying to style them with a black sports bra and oversized track jacket.

  Can we talk about this hair style though!!! I was worried moving to Florence that I would have trouble finding the right salon, and one that spoke some English too. Contrasto Aveda Salon is amazing. I have been going weekly to get an amazing blowout, and a dope braided hair style like the one below! The crazy thing is that haircare is so much cheaper over in Italy. 20 Euro for a blow out, sign me up. I will never get used to the no tipping rule here though, so I naturally usually throw in a few extra euros.
Hope you enjoyed this street style fit!

MOTO JACKETS

  Moto Jackets are by far my favorite fall/winter piece. Stylish. Warm. Versatile. Moto jackets cover it all. This one I was unable to find a specific link to, probably because I have had it for years, but it is from the brand Belle Vere. You can really find a Moto jacket at any store these days. If you are looking to do a little shopping splurge, I would definitely suggest investing in a Moto jacket! They last for years.. I'm not exaggerating and will also never ever go out of style since they are a classic!

  I paired my Moto jacket with a pair of Redone Levi's, my go to pair of denim. Always. This Lack Of Colors hat is my favorite hat I own. The color is perfect for any hair color and also it is perfect for those days where you didn't have time to fully do your hair... that was me today lol.

CINQUE TERRE

  This past weekend I visited three of the most beautiful little towns in Cinque Terre. Manarola, Riomaggiore and the cutest beach town, Monterosso. Fun fact!! Pesto originated here in Northern Italy so naturally I had to stop at the famous pesto pizza shop to have a taste.

 The ride was about 2 hours away from Florence. Even though I had to wake up at 5am, the breathtaking views made up for it. The middle of September in Italy is stifling!! While packing, I didn't really think it would be this hot, so I brought more of my fall wardrobe. Such a mistake lol but a good excuse for some shopping!

  I stayed as cool as possible in this floral print Brandy Melville wrap dress which was easy to throw my bathing suit on under for some tanning! I paired the dress with my go to Nike Jester sneakers, perfect for walking around all day.

 The little Opening Ceremony backpack is perfect for carrying everything you need for a day trip. I was able to fit my portable charger, camera, wallet and a few little things like lip gloss and gum in this tiny little thing.

STRIPES

  I am finally settling in and adjusting to the Italian lifestyle after a few days here. Naturally, one of the first stops I had to make was the Gucci Garden located inside the historic Palazzo della Mercanzia. The Garden is filled with Vibrant colors and a fun classic atmosphere, including a restaurant and iconic garments curated over the years. The symbol of the Gucci Garden is the Gucci eye, which is known for a hypnotic territory that alters the state of perception.

  Playing on the vibrant colors, I decided to dress to the occasion with a striped pajama set from Reformation. Yes... I said pajama set. I am loving pajama sets as everyday wear right now either going out with heels or just casually around town while still looking put together.

ITALY BOUND

  I am finally finishing up packing and thought I would squeeze in one last outfit shoot before taking off! Packing my life up for four months in two suitcases has been the biggest challenge for me and anyone else who has a clothing addiction, I'm sure! But I somehow made it work after re weighing my bag multiple times to try to not go over the 50 pound limit lol.

  For this look I am wearing this black ribbed three strap Zara tank top... one of my personal favorites. The material is such good quality and the strap across the neck adds the perfect touch. I paired the tank with straight legged Citizens of Humanity jeans and the Gucci Padlock bag.

Hope everyone had a good summer!!
 An overload of outfits and pictures of Italy is coming your way very very soon! Good quality pictures too, I just invested in a Canon EOS M50 camera for my blog and the trip. The pictures below are the first pictures I've done playing around with it! So I'm excited to see how the pictures in Italy will come out. Stay Tuned!
