Rome Look 6- From Rome With Love

Finally my last look from my Rome trip featuring a classic combination of colors; red and blue.

Hope you like it and have a great end to your weekend :)

Rome Look 5- Superga for the Blonde Salad

TRASTEVERE. Such a picturesque city just across the river. Here we found amazing restaurants in every corner, gardens and lets not even get into how adorable all the little streets are. There is always lots left to discover in such places. 
Having bought these new superga trainers from 'The Blonde Salad' capsule collection, by my all time favorite blogger Chiara Ferragni I had to start wearing them on the day after. They are very comfortable and I'm so glad I found them as I've wanted something from Chiara's collection for a long time now! 

Rome Look 4- Lace + Knit

Finally here is the first look at my precious new bag! I adore it and you'll sure be seeing a lot of it in the future as this is a piece that will last a lifetime!  I've always imagined buying a Céline bag in beige but once I spotted this one at the store it was love at first sight. The colors are all very neutral and match just about every piece in my closet, plus I found that a three-colored bag stood out much much that the regular beige or black one. 
This whole ensemble is made up from ZARA pieces. Wearing lace-hemmed dresses with big chunky knits on top was (and continues to be) a big trend. I wore a look along the same lines in London (HERE) but I actually prefer this one better as the lace is more visible. 
Today was the last day of my holidays. I'm certainly not at all looking forward to going back into school tomorrow, a feeling that all of us can relate to! I wish you all the best of luck in your 2014 starts!

Rome Look 3- Tartan Scarf

Here is my first official post of 2014, wohoo! Looking back at all my pictures from Italy make me really miss Rome and I'm increasingly getting that sad, end-of-holiday feel but I guess that's normal. 

This type of scarf has got to be my new favorite! It is very voluminous which is all you can ask for in cold days. When this scarf is unfolded its so big that you can honestly use it as a blanket- just pointing it out there- its great to have with you in a plane.

Hope you all had a great start to the year!

punk inspired looks

cut-out boots

ankle boots

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!
