Rome Look 2: Via Veneto

VIA VENETO. Without a doubt one of the prettiest streets in Rome! So much elegance and glamour in one area.

I bought this skirt in the beginning of the winter season and think it fit in perfectly with the plaid/tartan trend that came back to life this year. Skirts with this type of print are extremely practical and versatile! 

How are you enjoying the last few days of the year, check in tomorrow morning for a review post of the main trends and pictures which inspired my fashion choices this year!

Rome Look 1: Céline

CÉLINE! As you can see by the title... this big purchase did happen!!! I am over the moon with happiness! A Céline bag has been an object of adoration of mine for the longest time. The first time I remember seeing one was back in 2011 and instantly falling in love. Over the years, it continued as a growing passion. I would stalk all tumblr blogs dedicated to this bag and simply fan-girl over anyone I saw wearing one. This bag to me is a symbol of elegance. You can wear the simplest combination of clothing and with this bag you look is complete. Need I say anymore... it is a Céline bag! Even going into the store was so unexpected, I can't begin to thank my parents enough!
This was too big of a moment not to share it with all of you, as this is a fashion blog, I though it was appropriate. 
Wait until the following outfit posts to find out what it looks like... suspense... :)
As you can guess already, my first day in Rome was a success. This city is amazing! Beautiful views and monuments everywhere you look, and lets not even get into the food... which is A-MA-ZING.

I am such a makeup lover! When the autumn/winter season comes around I take every chance to switch things up a bit when it comes to products and colors. For the christmas season I find it inevitable not to gravitate towards slightly darker tones and never leaving behind a great red lipstick. So here are some of my top 'christmas season' picks for lips, face and eye makeup.
