Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the A.P.C. Spring Collection. Everything is perfectly minimal and chic! Oh, and their online shop is organized by color. Need I say more?
summer’s casual sandals

I’m sure you’ve noticed the sporty sandal trend for this Summer. I’m not one to follow trends too often, but this is one that I support. Mostly because they are simple, chic, and versatile. Here are a few of my favorites! Now, c’mon warm weather!!!
relaxed casual
sweatshirt: H&M (similar here) // scarf: Zara (similar here) // boyfriend jeans: United Colors of Benetton // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs // sneakers: Vince // bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
I found these comfortable boyfriend jeans while shopping in Rome last week. Benetton is always one of my stops when in Italy; they have fun pieces and offer more relaxed styles than they do here in the US. Thankfully, you’re able to find these online! Have a great Monday!
happy friday!
I just returned from Italy yesterday afternoon! I will resume my daily posts and plan to share a few highlights from my trip next week. Until then, have a great weekend!

Packing for Italy
I’m leaving this week for Rome and thought I would share my tips for packing light. International
travel with a small suitcase and carry-on can be easy and completely manageable.
All the tech essentials I need to stay in the loop: inbox, music, webs, blog, and work.
Keep it simple. Seriously, just the essentials: tees, jeans, and a sweater or two.
Edit your look from day to night with accessories: scarf, different shoes, makeup.
You can never go wrong with a leather jacket.
Perfect for a chilly morning and later for dinner in the evening.
Keep your accessories to a minimum and select neutral colors that will go with any look.
I usually bring 3-4 pairs of shoes: flats, boots, sneakers.
this backpack = the perfect carry-on
Besides packing my technology in my carry-on, I always pack a few toiletry items and my
makeup bag (TSA regulated sizes in a quart-sized plastic bag) should anything happen to my
checked suitcase. I also bring along vitamin C packets, Zicam, green teabags (I drink tea everyday
and prefer my own:), and hand wipes. A few snacks and gum, too.
Everything I need for a 7-day trip in Rome. This Heys 26″ suitcase is the perfect size for me to
wheel around the airport and easily carry up several flights of stairs in Rome.
