Roman Holiday

Rome, Italy

One of the highlights from my trip was getting a pair of custom-made gold sandals in Capri.  It was such a special experience – from choosing the style, to picking out the leather, then watching the 3rd generation cobbler make them in under 15 minutes.  Our 10 day trip ended in Rome – another amazing place that I can’t wait to return to!  We squeezed in a little shopping, gelato, lunch in a charming garden, and dinner at Massimo Riccioli.  I wore this flowy Joie dress with my new sandals which were ideal for walking around the city in.  I’m wearing an XS in the dress – I recommend sizing down if you’re in between sizes.  Hope you’re having a great week!
