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. :)

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...

Beauty Must-Haves

Every girl should have a few staple beauty items. Here are a few of mine:

1. Chanel lipstick. Every girl should have one of these in red. 
2. Tom Ford nail polish. Tom Ford beauty has really stepped up it's game. Pretty much everything from them is on my lust list currently.
3. Lancome mascara. They do a great job with their mascaras. I usually go between Benefit and Lancome. It just so happens this is my go-to right now.
4. Tom Ford perfume. I've been using this scent since I was in high school. My mom spoiled me one year on Christmas and I haven't looked back since. I have a few others I love, but I always come back to Black Orchid.
5. La Mer cream. It's expensive, but worth it. It leaves your skin silk smooth.

Central Park

{#ootd: Del Toro shoes. JCrew blazer & belt. Chanel purse. Rag & Bone hat. Dylan & George boyfriend jeans. Baublebar bracelet. Chinti and Parker sweater.}

Central Park is beautiful and I'm disappointed that I rarely make my way up there. I live and work downtown, so there isn't much of a reason for me to go up there. The winter cold makes me useless, but luckily we had ONE whole day of sunshine and temperatures in the 50's last weekend. As you can tell, the winter could not have made me any paler. Spring cannot come any quicker!

Last but not least... my recent photographer happens to be my boyfriend, Logan (below). He may get a little upset with me for posting this, but doesn't he look incredible? Babe alert.
