Home Sweet Home

Hi strangers! I am back from my Italian adventure, and it sure is bittersweet.  The pros are: my bed and my closet.  The cons are: everything else.


Outfit Details:
Sweater - c/o Oasap
Boots - c/o Oasap
Bracelet - Mitla Moda
Scarf - Target
Shorts - Vintage
Glasses - c/o Sunglass Warehouse

One of the best parts of coming back from a trip however, is opening all the mail and packages that arrived while you were gone.  I was super excited to have this tribal sweater and these boots waiting for me, especially since I had been living out of a backpack for my two weeks in Italy!  I loved how well the sweater matched my beaded bracelet from Mitla Moda too!  I wore this when R and I grabbed lunch on a beautiful unseasonably warm day yesterday, which was the perfect welcome home before the FREEZING cold sets in later (I'm talking 72 yesterday, 16 degrees tomorrow!)

As for my trip, I absolutely loved Italy and would go back in a heartbeat!  We saw so many beautiful places I can hardly even fathom how we did so much in such a short amount of time.  Also the food. Wine and pasta. Wine and pizza.  Pizza with pasta. Wine with more wine. I plan to do multiple posts on my trip after I get done going through all of my photos, but I thought I would start back up with a regular outfit posts because its been FOREVER! I also want to say a huge thanks to the lovely ladies who guest posted for my travel series while I was gone.  It really helped me enjoy my vacation more not having to carry around a laptop or worry about putting posts up!

p.s. If anyone is currently doing a good cleanse, eating, or exercise challenge right now, please do share!  Let's just say eating pasta and pizza almost exclusively in Italy catches up with you and I would love some motivation to be a bit healthier!

  1. Oh Hannah, I love this outfit! Those boots are amazing, and that sweater is the perfect piece for fall. I actually started on Weight Watchers again a week ago!

  2. Welcome back, lady! Coming home is definitely bittersweet, but at least you had those fun packages waiting for you! I love this color combo and I bet that sweater and those boots will get a lot of wear this winter. I've actually been obsessed with Zumba for a few months :) I tried it after Dus talking about it and it's so much fun. I've never been one to enjoy exercise but since this is more like dancing up a sweat I'm in- haha. I've definitely noticed I have so much more energy and don't need as many naps too, so that's a win!

  4. That sweater is so fantastic! It's always fun to come home to packages (or just get packages in general.) I can't wait to see your travel pictures!

    I'm about to embark on a Whole30, which is REALLY amazing for clearing your body of cravings and getting rid of all those bad effects from eating junk food -- you can read all about what the Whole30 is here: http://whole30.com/step-two/ -- it sounds hard (you give up dairy, grains, legumes, alcohol, and sugar for 30 days and only eat meats/veggies/fruits/nuts/seeds/fats...) but seriously, at the end of the thirty days you feel so much better!
    Welcome back!

    1. Thank you Kristina! I actually did the whole 30 (or something very similar) last year and the year before, and was definitely thinking of trying it again! Let me know how it goes for you! :)

  7. welcome back Hannah!! I totally know that bittersweet feeling and think you summed it up pretty well on the pros : ). Haha pizza w/ pasta sounds like my worst nightmare in terms of weight, but I also have realized the past few months that I sure do gain weight easily from the carbs! And now you're getting me thinking about it a little bit, so thank you! Maybe I'll plan something out for myself to start being more intentional about my eating lately. If you want a motivational buddy to do something with let me know! that weather is just totally bizarre to me, but glad you could enjoy the nice weather while it lasted; I'm absolutely loving the print of that sweater w/ the fun vintage shorts & of course love that you included our beaded bracelet! Oh and yep, as Lisa said, Zumba/dancing is the best!

    1. Thanks Dus! If I figure out what kind of cleanse I want to do, or just a more general "healthy eating" thing, I would love a motivational buddy!
