His & Hers Antica Sartoria 👙
As cliche as it may be, I always love a good "his and hers" matching whether its armcandy or clothing so whenever I find something I love I have to get it for both of us! To say I am obsessed with Antica Sartoria would be an understatement considering I was there almost every day of the trip ( I even found a store in Taormina). This year Giacomo Cinque designed a collection dedicated to Sicily, so I had a field day. The patterned motifs had everything I love about Sicily on t
Feeling like a piece of art
When they say to "blend into your surroundings", you dress accordingly. when I found this dress in a little store on a side street in Castellammare, I knew exactly when I was going to wear it. The "hand painted" look was so apropos for Caltagirone where they are known for their hand painted ceramics! There is a lot of hand painted pottery in Sicily but the majority comes out of Caltagirone (to learn more about the history click here). Outfit Details: Dress: Purchased in Sicil
No grey areas, just black and white ⚪️⚫️
Some basic outfits don't have to be "basic", like this basic white pants and black top outfit. The key is to accessorize properly. I love a wide leg pant since I have wide hips it actually makes them appear smaller and they balance out my broad shoulders. Plus these are high waisted which I love and perfect to pair with a crop top. I don't usually like a crop top to go out because I don't like to expose too much skin but these high waisted pants came up just high enough to sh
How to be a fashionable 🌺Hippie🌺
When they tell you you're going to a Hippie party, you dress like the most fashionable hippie that existed in the 70's ✌️. I happened to have purchased this fun jumpsuit from Forever21 thinking it would be a great day outfit to walk around town, it was light, love the color and had a cute ruffle on the bottom. But it came to serve a better purpose, my Hippie costume, plus a few accessories of course. I tied the only scarf I happened to bring with me on the trip, around my hea

“I’m bringin the fannypack back” 🎶
When traveling I love dresses and rompers for daytime outfits becuase they are easy and you only have to pack one item instead of 2, which is great when you have to squeeze everything into 50 lbs. I found this cute romper last year before my trip to St Tropez as I was searching on Amazon. It was really my first time purchasing clothing on Amazon and I was skeptical but turns out it was a perfect piece to travel with! Its light, the ruffle top adds a feminine flair and easy to
Flowing Florals 🌸🌼🌺
I love mixing colors, textures, styles and prints. I guess as part of me being a libra and my indecisiveness usually lends itself to me settling for one of each instead of just one because, well just because can a girl live! Sometimes part of me wants to be casual and part of me wants to be dressy and as a result, I get this casual yet chic look . I paired a casual t shirt with a flow maxi skirt to add that feminine polished flair and I love it! Outfit Details: Maxi Skirt: Sh
Beat the Heat in Linen 💃🏻
One of the things I love about being in Sicily is feeling the heat of the Sicilian Sun ! For some it can be overbearing but the trick to staying cool is linen! Linen is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat. Your linen garment feels cool to the touch and linen fabric will quickly remove perspiration from the skin which is why you will see a lot of Italians wearing linen. I found this cute red linen dress at Marshall's and it was perfect for our mornings walks through
