Jewel Tones for Almost Fall
I'M WEARING>> Top, Headband, Shoes: Zara// Trousers: Uniqlo// Bag: Louis Vuitton
Too warm for jackets, but too bored of summer clothes. I'm so loving this color combo right now, and I'm still so into head bands, and probably will be well into the future. Blair Waldorf will forever be my spirit fashionista.
Hopefully my next posts will finally feature my jacket collection, so see you then loves - Che
Rome | Across the River
I think one of the best decisions Leon and I made in Rome was to explore not only the expected 'Historical Center' of Rome but go further than that. While we were both entranced by all the history and the beautiful architecture around that area, there was something to be said about the unbearable crowds around as well. It didn't so much as bother us as it did make us crave for something a little less...touristy. So, after our much deserved pilgrimage to the Colosseum, we decided to head out via tram to Trastevere, the 'funky, bohemian' other side of the river in Rome.
The funny thing is, I almost have no photos in the main square of Trastevere - no good ones to be exact. Hehehe. It was almost as if the urge to picture anything and everything just melted away and all we wanted while we were there was to chill at one of the al fresco cafes, check vintage shops, and just revel in the peace and quiet this part of Rome afforded. We did, however, take pictures walking out of Trastevere back to the main area of Rome, a scenic walk that led us to find two amazing discoveries - the Castel d'Angelo and Vatican City, which we realized was just walking distance from there. All in all, walking from our hotel right dab smack in the center of Rome to this gem of a place took all of thirty minutes.
And we would find ourselves taking that same walk back to the Vatican the next day.
Next time you're in Rome, I highly suggest walking around Trastevere! You won't regret it.
At this rate, I just want all my Europe posts done. Ugh, really sorry for taking this long! See you soon - Che
Rome | Colosseum, We Meet Again
I'M WEARING>> Jacket: Asos// Sweater vest: Forever 21// Turtleneck: H&M// Skirt: Zara// Boots: Raid London// Bag: Gucci
Because, sometimes, second time's the charm. Especially your second time at the Colosseo di Roma, which you didn't quite nail picturing the first time. - Che
Milan | Color Blocking at the Duomo
I'M WEARING>> Turtleneck: Asos// Trousers: Pomelo Fashion// Coat: bought in Albert Cuypmarkt, Amsterdam// Bag: Parfois// Shoes: Nike// Sunnies: Stradivarius
I don't think I'll ever be one of those people content with minimal basics and a mostly black and white wardrobe, much as I love that aesthetic. Color just gives my life meaning, especially punch brights like this neon orange and blue combo I wore in Milan.
Whatever you think, you have to admit I stood out against all the nude and marble coloring of the Duomo, right? And just the way I like it!
Anyways, I was gonna wear my purple blazer as opposed to this blue coat, but it was cold so I changed my mind, the end. But what do you think matches more with this orange shade? Purple or blue? Sound off in the comments below! - Che
Postcards from Milan
Gahhh life really has a way of getting away from you, doesn't it? Life has basically gotten in my way of these pictures, that's for sure, that and a recent dip in my mood that's left me a little uninspired as of late. Ugh. My life has a way of being all highs for a few months and then dipping so low that I'd rather hide in bed than deal with it all, much less this blog, for any amount of time. This has been a constant thing about me that I absolutely hate, how I could let lows just keep on digging themselves into the ground until I snap, and how I could doubt highs in my life because you know there's going to be the inevitable fall waiting at the end of it.But, that's not why you're here, I get it, just had to get that out of my system.Anyways, we are nearing the end of my travel photos now, and not a minute too soon, since I am suddenly itching to get back into my usual outfits. Not that I don't love these! Gad, I love them, but it's time to move on. So I'm finally finishing, starting with the first of my wondrous pictures in Italy! Of all the places I went in Europe, Paris was probably my top one (duh), but, there seems to be a Milan-shaped hole in my heart when I left. I don't know why, but I look back at Milan with fondness, and I really, truly loved it there. It didn't even start out right, yah know? We dropped off in Milan to heavy rains and all grey everything that really just put a damper on my mood the moment I stepped off the train. Almost no restaurants were open since it was a Sunday, so Leon and I had to settle for sandwiches and coffee to stave off hunger. We had such a hard time getting into our BnB, and I think there was a large chance we would have been left homeless had there not been a good samaritan who just happened to be taking a smoke break when Leon and I just kinda stopped trying, choosing instead to sit outside the locked building and think upon our life choices. Oh, and I was cold, really cold, which surprised me because the weather forecast said Italy would be warmer. Oh well.But as though the gods smiled upon our trip, it went a total 180 the next day. We woke up bright and early, and I decided to be as bright as my mood. We were literally 001 in line for the Duomo. We had an amazing breakfast. We got amazing photos in one of the busiest areas of Milan (the shopping mall, not the Duomo). Oh, and I got a brand new, Blair Waldorf-worthy headband! Gah, how a day can change. The moral of the story is, 'Tomorrow is always another day, best not to dwell on yesterday'.Sigh. I still get the shivers.Anyways, hope you liked this post lovelies! See you soon - Che
