Eurotrip Diary



A few photos from my trip, I hope you enjoy! xoxo :)
I was traveling for about 2 months in Europe.
I got to visit Italy, France and Spain. Honestly it was amazing, it was my first time traveling from the states and it was such an adventure! I met so many unforgettable people discovered new foods and caught on to a little bit of the language.
Everyone asks me which country was my favorite but I can not choose because they are so different and unique in their own way. Italy, especially Rome completely blew me away, it was better than the movies! The buildings, the history, the food just the way of life was perfect. Paris, was like a fairytale the language so sweet it makes you smile. It is such a romantic city especially at night. Seeing the Eiffel Tower at night is completely different from day, everything is lit up and it just leaves you in aw. In Spain I only got to see Barcelona but it was fascinating. The city to me seemed very modern. Gaudi's buildings and architecture were phenomenal! My favorite,of course, was La Sagrada Familia it was a whole new twist on how he designed and built the church. So detailed and intricate and the symbolism and history behind the cathedral was special. I have so many photos and stories I could go on for days but I will leave it at that.

Comfy Days









I am officially back from my Eurotrip!
I was traveling for about 2 months in Europe so I apologize for not posting frequently but I was alone and so it was difficult with no photographer. I am happy to be home and to share my wonderful and crazy adventures with my family and friends. As soon as I got home everyone noticed my tan! I definitely got more than a few shades darker yay :D
I will post more photos of my trip soon and share with you some of the highlights from my trip.
xoxo

Washed Lilac










Greetings from Olbia, Sardegna!
I am currently enjoying Italy's beautiful little island off by the Mediterranean Sea :D It is absolutely stunning words can not express.
I was speechless when I first arrived and have been exploring new beaches non-stop. Today I went to Porto Rotondo where you can find smaller more private beaches which I feel are more exciting since they are not so commercial. I soaked up the sun in this lavender ombre bikini I bought while I was in Milan. I usually am not caught in bikinis because I feel they don't flatter my body very well but I couldn't resist the gathering detailing and of course the color!

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

























































Today is my last day here in Milan. I have been here for almost a month and it feels like just yesterday I landed in beautiful Italy. Of course I am spending the day in Lombardy, shopping before heading off to Florence tomorrow. I originally came to Italy to take a course in pattern drafting to perfect my skills and now that my course has finished I am packing my bags and going to travel around Europe :) I will keep you updated with photos and outfits if I can manage to find someone to take my photos :p

Today we went to Duomo so I wore something appropriate to enter the cathedral. Here they won't let you in the cathedrals if they are museums if you have exposed shoulders or mini skirts/shorts. Of course being catholic I was raised to dress nice for church but I felt bad for all the tourists that were not able to get in because of their wardrobe lol. I stuck to one color palette and my black velvet pumps. I love the ruffle detailing of this top I thrifted a while back, it has a very western vibe to it :)

Shades of Grey


























































Today it poured here in Milano. I had never experienced rain like this before today. As we were taking my
pictures for today's blog post a big splat of water hit my arm...I thought it was bird poop but as I looked I saw it was water. Again a big splat on my head... then it all came pouring on us, huge droplets of rain one could stand between the in a certain spot and not get wet it was so strange in California when it rains it sprinkles evenly, here it is sparse but heavy. We had to run to the metro and we got pretty drenched but I have to admit it was quite fun. Anyway for today's look I went with a monochromatic theme. Stuck to basic black and white but have fun mixing prints :)
