Hey there! Happy Monday, friends!

Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world and, although it is buzzing with more people than is sometimes comfortable, it certainly has an understanding draw. I mean, look at the massive Colosseum behind me in these photos! It blows my mind how something that clearly took so much architectural intelligence was built thousands and thousands of years ago. Sure, there are huge pieces of it missing now but it’s grandeur is still very much intact.

The off-the-shoulder top I’m wearing in these photos is one of my personal favorites out of everything I packed for my trip. It’s really lightweight and has the cutest bow detailing at the end of the sleeves, which sit just above your wrists. It’s great for a summer picnic, in my opinion. It may look a little see-through in these photos but it’s simply because they are so backlit, which I think made some of these look so dreamy! What do you think?

Love the hat I’m wearing but not the price tag? Check out this one for under $50!

One thing to remember, if you’re heading to Rome this summer, is to make sure your shoulders and knees are covered if you’re venturing into any of its famous churches. I also recommend you wear things that are breathable and loose. This off-the-shoulder top is a great option, but you’d have to bring a light scarf with you in your bag to place over your shoulders in those churches, as I mentioned. It’s a tough city to dress for in the summer for that reason and it gets SO hot!

I’m still working away at the travel diaries from my two recent trips abroad. Y’all know I’m extremely detail oriented and I also want to keep style content coming your way so I appreciate your patience and I do hope they get to you before you’re upcoming summer vacations! 🙂

Speaking of summer vacations, where are you heading this summer?? I want to know! xo.
