With the weather trying to get warmer I decided to reminisce on my spring break trip; specifically, Rome. (I recently blogged about how to pack for the trip) The streets are full of tourists and the air smells of delicious pizza and pasta; there really is no better pizza or pasta in the world! My favorite pizza place was outside of the center city called Remo’s Pizza. The pizzas were individual sized which was a perfect excuse to get my own pizza and whatever topping I wanted; cheese, peppers, & onions. (My mouth is watering just thinking of it) Another must-try is the roman suppli; a deep fried ball filled of rice & mozzarella. How can you say no to that tasty appetizer.

My favorite Roman places:

The Colessium- of course it is a must see, it is even one of the seven wonders of the world!

Remo's Pizza- tucked away from the city center is this family run pizza place, the place is packed with locals, and the individual pizzas are to die for.
Trevvi Fountain- this jut took my breathe away, be sure to throw a coin in & make a wish, & drink from the fountains!
Via dei Condotti- a street where every designer has at least one store (there were two louis vuittons and guccis.) the cobblestone street gives this designer wonderland an amazing Italian feeling.
Gioletti- the best gelato in all of Rome. Aubrey Hepburn even filmed a movie here! My favorite is the crema

Pack For...Rome

shirt, pepe jeans

Last week for spring break I traveled all over Italy and picked up a lot of fashion tips first hand that I wanted to share with my glamorous passporties (my new term for my blog readers-love it?). Rome is a city of so many (sometimes it can be overwelming), much need sight seeing. Who knows you may bump into a dreamy Italian on your vacation (and yes it is true the men are to die for). To be comfortable yet cute and appropriate for the Ialian on-lookers my top 5 essentials are:

Hogan sneakers- i dont love these sneakers but everyone in Italy does. you will see them on every Italians feet.

Jeans- i just love jeans they are casual but cute and you can dress them up for your night out in the city

Tee-shirt- my new favorite tee-shirt are from Rebel Yell. they edgey but cute

Cardigan- i live in my J.Crew cardigans

Leather jacket- everyone has one so i would have one to fit in and not look too much like a tourist

Even though I dont LOVE Hogan sneakers these ones are adorable

Keds & Tights

When walking around the Vatican in Rome I saw so many different outfit combinations. The one that stuck out to me the most was sneakers with dresses or skirts. It is a different way for the comfortable tourist to rome around Rome (hehe) and still dress cute. The combination of sneakers and tights look the best with Keds. Keds are smaller, thinner, and a little dressy which makes it the perfect sneaker for tights. Personally, I would still stick with flats they are cute, versatile, and almost as comfortable as sneakers so, you can tour the city but still look un-touristy and adorable. But after seeing how cute Mischa Barton looks in Keds I may just have to buy a pair. How do you dress to sight-see?

Arrivederchi Tourists

 

When traveling to London I was gifted with the Louis Vuitton London city guide. The outside is adorable and is full of amazing places to see, shop, and indulge. The book gives tips on what to wear and who you can hopefully get a glimpse of. No more looking like an unfashionable tourist! There are currently 8 books total (New York, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Rome, Paris, Miami, Tokyo and London) and one European collection that you can collect. I cannot wait to get my hands on them all! Next city guide: Rome! I'll be traveling Barcelona & Italy for the next week and a half so check back to see my fashion forward adventures! I look forward to a shopping spree on Via Borgognona, open markets, gondola rides, the list is a mile long. Who knows I may even run into the Beckham family in Milan!

Arrivederchi!
