Venice Alleyways

Venice Alleyways


Hey there lovely people, I am back in London after the most awesome and magical time in Venice. Our flight was at 6 in the morning, so we had to leave at 3am to arrive at the airport at 4.  So yes, it was pretty exhausting for me, as I am never in a good mood when sleep deprived! We landed at Treviso airport around 9ish. Check-in at the hotel, which was in Mestre (15 mins on train from Venice), wasn't due until 3 in the afternoon - so we decided to go straight to Venice. Then, one quick stop in a cafĂ© for double espresso and I was wide awake to spend my first day exploring beautiful Venice.  

One of the best ways to get to know Venice is to simply get lost down its hundreds of alleyways. I can still recall that great walk, from stalls of colourful masks to uncountable restaurants. The weather was perfect so we spent a sunny afternoon walking canal-side, admiring the candy-hued houses, shopping for beautiful handmade jewellery and discovering many pizza and pasta restaurants for lunch. The hotel was beautiful itself and had lots of little spots with water fountains and boats outside, just to relax in the sun. We ended our first day by ordering some gourmet room service. 

My outfit for day one was pretty basic and included accessories like my sunglasses and this black leather cap to cover my bare face and to help protect my face and head from the sun as well. I went for a plain white vest and black tailored shorts. I also added an oversized denim jacket, just in case it got a little chilly, and finished off the look with the only pair of shoes I took. I hope you like it!

Goodbye winter!

Goodbye winter!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. I know mine was pretty crazy and productive at the same time. My food and drink intake has dramatically increased this week though. Well, I can hardly blame it on anything other than weather when it's this good! However, I am planning to keep it in control now because I am flying to Venice next week, which I have been insanely looking forward to. I will also be taking lots of pictures in Venice so stay tuned for that.
I put together today’s outfit as a perfect ensemble to say goodbye to this dark, cold winter and welcome these bright, sunny summer days. Even though my love for the monochrome palette will never fade, I am actually very excited about adding bright colours to my wardrobe. I decided to keep my turtle neck on for one last time, add my key summer piece - this Topshop playsuit - and finish the look with my black knee high boots. For my accessories, I kept it simple with just my Michael Kors watch. I hope you like the look!
