My girlfriends and I enjoyed a lazy Saturday and wandered around the colorful town of Taormina – popping into local boutiques along the way. We picked up fun straw totes, leather bracelets, and kaftans to take home with us. I wore my favorite Sam Edelman sandals that I own in 6 different colors (although I’m partial to the gold.) I’ve taken my Gigi sandals everywhere from Italy to Nantucket and the Hamptons with me. They’re so comfortable and a lifesaver when you’re walking around all day. Sam Edelman is giving away 10 pairs of Gigi sandals. Enter to win by uploading a photo of your Gigi sandals to Instagram, adding a caption about where you wore them, and using #DestinationGigi and #SamsGirls.
Italy is one of my favorite places in the world and I have really enjoyed seeing all your pictures. This casual summer outfit is beautiful, love the purse and the Sam Edelman sandals are a must-have all year around. Lovely, thanks for sharing — Soraya

I’d love to read a post on how you packed for your European trip. Between London and Italy it must have been hard to edit down what to bring. Love your blog, it’s one of my faves (and I read A LOT of blogs)!!
Hi!
Thanks Andrea!! Well…I am a total overpacker!!!! haha I was lucky enough to leave 2 huge suitcases at my friend’s apartment in London so I only had to take 1 suitcase to Italy. But I highly recommend TUMI suitcases since they are lightweight but hold a ton of stuff! Also Longchamp duffle bags are lifesavers since they’re durable and easy to fold up. Thankfully summer dresses are light so I brought a few casual black + white dresses and colorful going out dresses. I only brought 2 pairs of heels (both neutral) and 4 sandals. I stuck bags within bags to condense space. Hope you are having a wonderful summer :)

Looking so elegant and stylish in this lovely summertime outfit.

I like your dress, it’s nice
You look gorgeous – as always! We’re heading to Taormina at the end of August, and I’m so excited about the trip! The town looks truly amazing :) If you’ve got some tips (restaurants, shops etc.) I would love to hear them!
Oh how fun!! You will love Taormina! Make sure to have sunset cocktails on the terrace of the Grand Timeo hotel, have lunch or dinner at Villa Sant’ Andrea, and go dancing (late night) at Morgana!! There are a ton of great shops right around the Grand Timeo hotel. XOXO
What a darling summer look! I’m loving your bag, the pom poms are so fun!!

Hi! I would love to know how you styled your hair? It’s beautiful! Loved seeing your pictures of Italy. When we went, we didn’t get to visit Sicily. Looking at your photos makes me want to go visit there as well. I look forward to learning your hair secret. ;)
Thanks Michelle! I used a 1″ curling iron and wrapped small strands around it :) XO
