Amalfi

 Dress Bailey 44, Wedges ShoeMint

From Rome, Thomas and I took the train to Naples and after the most 
insane (insanely beautiful & insanely scary) car ride, we arrive in Amalfi. 
When we pulled up to our hotel, I was speechless. It was one of
the most breathtaking views I had ever seen.
We could see the whole coast line looking over the Mediterranean Sea.
T and I spent the rest of our day swimming, drinking champagne and
enjoying a long, relaxing dinner at our hotel's restaurant (which had the
coolest lounge-feel to it).

P.S. I also wore this white crochet dress for our rehearsal dinner here!

LBD

Dress Miu Miu (scored on sale at Net-A-Porter), Heels J.Crew, Bag Miu Miu, Lipstick Jane Iredale

When Net-A-Porter had their sale back in June, I wouldn't let myself get anything
until it reached the "final sale"of up to 70% off.
I had been eyeing this dress (it has a lace bow!) but of course the price was way out of
my budget and it was sold out in my size. On the last few days on the sale, I re-checked
just for fun and found it back in stock in my size and with a significant price drop.
This is a dress that I will have for forever and remain my favorite LBD
of all time!
This night was spent at Hotel De Russie, where we had cocktails
and dinner at their beautiful restaurant, Le Jardin de Russie.

P.S. After an internship with ShopStyle all summer, I just started a new full-time
position with Tart Collections in their marketing department!

Touring Rome

This was a bath tub way back when!
Inside St. Peter's Church
Trevi Fountain!
 First Outfit: Dress Anthropologie, Sandals Madewell, Sunglasses Dior, Purse Coach
Second Outfit: Top Zara, Shorts Madewell, Purse Miu Miu, Sandals Madewell, Sunglasses Dior

Our two full days in Rome were spent touring the Vatican, Colosseum, Roman Ruins, Pantheon,
Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, Trevi Fountain and all of the other main attractions in the city.
We had guides along the way, which was so helpful in learning and being
reminded of the history of each thing we saw.
If you are heading to Rome make sure to check out Villa Borghese!
It's the most beautiful park where you can rent bikes, have picnics and take
a nap in the shade. After trucking around the city in 100 degree weather, we cooled
off in the park and rode bikes around.

A Night In Rome

Our Hotel's Rooftop Bar
View from dinner at SOMO Penthouse
Dress c/o Awear, Purse Coach, Wedges Prada, Lipstick NARS "Heatwave"

For our first night in Rome, Thomas and decided to switch things up
and get sushi for dinner at SOMO Penthouse (the rooftop
restaurant at The First Hotel in Rome).
Not only did they have really good sushi, but the views were amazing! 
After walking around for a bit post-dinner, we both started craving pizza and
happened to walk by Pizza Ré 2, which looked and smelled amazing.
We were both so glad we did because it ended up being our favorite pizza of the trip!

*For those of you visiting Rome, we stayed at Hotel St. George.
It was a great hotel that was near a lot of main attractions, but on a quiet street.
