Ciao Vacanze Italia

When we booked our trip to the Italian Riviera, the first thing that came to mind was, "What will I wear?" I envisioned myself wearing a girlie, floral printed, lace dress, while gazing at the most beautiful views of the sea imaginable. I was excited to have made my dream a reality when I discovered this Zimmermann dress a few days before my trip. The photos above capture the exact look I was hoping for, thanks to my amazing photographer in the last photo on my right. :)

Manrola

Manrola was my favorite city in Cinque Terre. To me it was the most beautiful–and it had cliff jumping! The first photo above was the view from a cute restaurant called Nessun Dorma. No exaggeration, this little place has the best bruschetta on the planet. I know, it sounds cliché, but I'm a tough critic when it comes to anything in the food category–must be the Italian in me. In Italy, there is something about the freshness of the tomatoes and cheeses you can't find anywhere else that just gets me. If you ever visit Manrola, go there, get the Primavera bruschetta and tell me what you think.  

...up next is Portofino!

Monterosso, Cinque Terre

{#ootd: Valentino shoes, vintage Chanel purse, Ray Ban sunnies, & vintage Gucci dress}

While we were in Cinque Terre we stayed at the B&B Albergo Margherita, which was located in the most northern town, Monterosso. We felt right at home staying in the older part of town that had a traditional Italian family feel. These photos were taken on our way to Miky, which is a delightful seafood restaurant in the New Town. I highly recommend going there if you ever visit, the fish was some of the freshest we had ever ate.

Next up is Manrola!

I spent the last 10 days in Italy with my boyfriend. Let's just say, it was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Imagine the general idea of traveling to Italy with your love, then multiply it by 10. If you have the burning desire to go like we did, I'd be happy to provide our itinerary. Just ask me!

I will be doing a special post on every city we were in starting today. Next up, Cinque Terre! Stay tuned...
