As you are aware I was fortunate to visit Italy and being extremely organised and excited I pre planned my outfits accordingly of course to take with me.
A month before I scanned Vogue Italia and scanned Pinterest for recent Italian fashion both on the catwalk and street style. With my Italian fashion board set up (which you can see on Chlobo's Closet's Instagram page) I felt prepared to start pulling all my pieces.
My leather studded, Versace jacket was an absolute must, leopard skirts inspired by Roberto Cavalli and floral numbers as seen at Dolce and Gabbana's show.
So below are a couple of my favourite picks that came in my very glamorous and fun Lulu Guinness Luggage.
Probably one of my favourite outfits out of the collection. A really simple, fun but elegant evening choice, on a warm spring evening. The jacket is of course Versace, which is delicately embellished with gold studs. My bohemian crop top, which is a tiny crop top (as seen on Kendall Jenner also, clearly we have good taste) is from Nasty Gal. The pleated midi skirt, which always makes me feel very ladylike and has been mentioned on here before is from Missguided at £28.00. The bag is Chanel and finishing off the look, in a very low heel for walking over the cobbles, are my very comfy River Island pumps.
A new purchase, which was not necessarily for this trip but I really do love it! A lace, white short sleeved maxi, from Sister Jane. It was so comfy in the heat and very girly. I did not over accessorize as the dress is a statement in itself, but I added a pearl collar around the neckline, to cover the black collar, lining up. The sandals were from Zara, which I had to buy out there, as I was not quite so prepared for the heat and my feet were swelling up, which was very uncomfortable and not a good look.
I have always loved this easy to wear tea dress. It is actually quite a good few years old now but it is always a favourite of mine. It was a limited edition from Peacocks, by Pearl Lowe and it is very pretty and delicate, with a minimal approach. It was such a good choice to wear to the Vatican because it covers my shoulders up, out of respect, whilst offering me a cool, glamorous look.
I did not spend the whole trip taking photographs of my outfits, as I was too involved in falling in love with Rome. I hoped you enjoyed my collection though and get inspiration for you own city break. My pointers for packing are, plan and lay out all your outfits including accessories to avoid over packing, if you have a luggage allowance. Secondly, research where you might be going on the trip, take something that covers you up and is practical if you might be going to a religious place. Thirdly check the ground conditions, so you know what shoes to take, you could end up going on hikes or leisurely walking for long periods which in the wrong shoes will hurt and cause damage to your feet.
Happy holidays everyone.
