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.

When In Rome

T Shirt Zara, Skirt Anthropologie (on sale!), Sandals Madewell (on sale!), Purse Miu Miu, Sunglasses Dior

After Florence, Thomas and I took a train to Rome.

I loved using the train systems instead of driving in Italy. 

They were really quick and easy to use and I would definitely recommend 

them if you are planning a trip to Italy.

I love this Anthropologie skirt (last seen here). It's so comfy and perfect for traveling. 

These pictures were taken after we checked into our hotel and started

exploring Rome!

P.S. Check out the interview I did was the sweet Shannon
from GBO Fashion.

Last Night In Florence

Dress Anthropologie, Wedges ShoeMint

For our last night in Florence, Thomas and I went to a delicious

restaurant called Za-Za, recommended by our tour guide.

One thing that took some getting used to in Italy was eating later.

We are so used to eating dinner around 6pm, but in Italy most people

don't head out to dinner until a least 8 or 8:30. 

While this was strange at first, we quickly became accustomed to the time change

and soon loved our new ritual of heading to early cocktails and relaxing 

before dinner.

Sherbet Stripes & A Night in Florence

For our third night in Florence, Thomas and went to the rooftop bar at one of our hotels 

(the boutique hotel we stayed at was part of four hotels) for drinks before dinner.

The two photos over-looking florence were taken there, where we have a 360 degree 

view of the city. If you are looking for a great spot to go before dinner, definitely look up

The Sky Bar at the Continental. 

We then headed to dinner at 4 Leoni (recommended by a reader)

and it was probably one of our favorite restaurants in Italy!

It was by far the least expensive dinner we went to and had the best 

wine and ravioli. Ah, I'm dreaming of it still....!

A Long White Dress

Dress Anthropologie, Sandals Zara, Purse Kate Spade

I thought it was only appropriate to wear a long white dress

the day we were meeting with our wedding planner!

I haven't been able to wear this in SF yet (since scoring it on sale), but

 the warm weather back in Stockton allowed me to bring out.

Happy Monday!

Peonies

Peonies are my favorite flower. (yes, they will be in my wedding!)
Every time I see them, I can't help but buy a few stems
to cheer up my bedside table. Nothing is better than waking up
to some fresh flowers in the morning.
Also, I seem to have a thing for stripes on the weekend!

Smitten

Dress Anthropologie, Jacket H&M, Heart Sunnies, Oxfords Zara, Purse Vintage Chanel (was my grandmothers)

So, by now you must have noticed my obsession with 

anything Anthropologie. They are one of my go-to stores for girly dresses and 

unique prints. This dress is by a designer named Charlotte Taylor , who is part of

Anthropologie's "Made In Kind" collection. 

I am also really smitten with Leah Reena Goren's dresses as well.

I have a soft spot for shirtdresses and let's just say this one & this one have been 

sitting in my cart online since I saw them!
