Capri (Italy Travel Journal Pt. 3)

You guys, I really have not been very good at blogging since I returned from my trip.  With shop work, holiday shopping, and possibly even a seasonal job on the way, the blog has been put on the back burner, and it may stay there for awhile.  I definitely plan on still posting, it just may not be as regularly as I usually do!  Anyway, here's a little photo journal of the third leg of my Italian adventure on the island of Capri!

The (amazing) view from our apartment.
The only spot where we got wifi was on our patio.
Posing in front of our little abode.
All of the rest are from the beautiful Villa San Michelle in Anacapri.

We spent one day on a beautiful rocky beach and even swam in the freezing mediterranean, and also took a boat tour around the island to see the infamous blue grotto, both of which I did not have my real camera for!  Hope you enjoyed this little peak into the beautiful island of Capri! Next stop, Rome!

Pink Hair, Cares a Little Bit

Hi guys!  I'm back with a simple black and white outfit and pink hair again!   I could not wait to dye it back again after I got back from Italy!  The dye I have is both a curse and a blessing though, because it rinses out after only a few washes. So while I like that its temporary and non damaging, it is going to be kind of annoying to keep it up!  If any of you have ever had pastel hair before, I would love to know what you use/ your process! Also, the post title is from the common hashtag/ saying "Pink Hair Don't Care".  This ones more true for me ;)

Outfit Details:
Fuzzy Coat - Darling UK
Blouse - Vintage
Pants - Target
Shoes - thrifted

I am definitely not done with my Italy trip photos, but I'm going to try to throw some real-time outfits in the mix too so you guys don't get too bored with one or the other!  It's really nice having so much content to go through with the trip, but I do get a little bitter posting about a trip that I am no longer on haha! I'm sure most of you can relate!

Anyway, trying to get my shop and blog groove back, wish me luck!

Positano (Italy Travel Journal Pt 2.)

Positano was literally one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I am not sure these photos will really do it justice! This colorful hillside town along the Amalfi Coast was the second stop on our Italian adventure.  The whole town is basically located cliffside with one winding road going down to the beaches.  Because we were there in late October which has already started their off-season, it was way less crowded on the beaches than if you were to come in mid summer.  And while this meant it was a bit too chilly for us to enjoyably swim here, it was still the perfect mild temperatures to explore in.  I could have happily spent way more than two short nights here!

The first portion of photos are from the smaller beach, where we had delicious sandwiches and beer for lunch before wandering around to collect little pieces of colorful tiles on the rocky beach.  We had to walk down hundreds of stone steps to get up or down anywhere.  We then wandered over to the bigger main beach just in time for a beautiful sunset. The colorful houses all piled on top of eachother reminded me of a pastel layer cake, and every direction you turned was more stunning than the last.  There were also a bunch of cute little shops lining the roads on the way down, including this one that sold darling floaty pastel dresses where I got a scarf and my mom got a dress.  You can see a few more shots on my instagram including this view from higher up, and this cute kitty that visited the apartment we were renting!  Positano, I hope to see you again soon!

Pompeii (Italy Travel Journal Pt.1)

Wahoo, the first edition of my travel journal from Italy!  The pile of photos I have from the trip is a bit daunting, so I am going to break it down into all of the different locations we stayed at.  The first stop on on trip was Sorrento, and these photos are from a day trip we took to the ancient city ruins of Pompeii.


Outfit Details:
Jeans - Marshalls
Yellow Sweater - c/o Oasap
Maroon Tote - Baggu
Hat - similar
Plaid Shirt - similar

A little history. In 79 AD, the city of pompeii was largely destroyed and buried under volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (which you can see in the background of a lot of these photos).  The city was lost for about 1,500 years while buried under the layers of ash, which helped to block out air and moisture and preserve the city in its original condition.  The city was later re-discovered and excavated, and now is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions.

It was amazing wondering around such an old place, and even the human bodies (which you can see third photo from the bottom) are still preserved.  The highlights for me included getting to walk inside all of the dwellings, seeing a preserved puppy, and last but not least, the famous whorehouse where you could see the ancient paintings above each room that people would "order" off of like a menu back in the ancient city!

As for what I wore throughout my trip, I only packed one large backpack for the whole two weeks, so staying comfortable and mobile were my main two objectives! If you are planning a trip with a lot of walking, I ended up loving these New Balance 420s which I got right before the trip.  I added a jelly Dr. Scholl's insert to the bottom and basically wore these exclusively the whole time.  Plus, they're cute!

I unfortunately didn't take any photos on my real DSLR camera of Sorrento, but you can see a few phone shots on instagram, like this amazing happy hour with a view of Mt. Vesuvius!

Have a great weekend!
