The past three days in Florence have flown by.. but it was just enough time to reconnect with old friends and show my sister all the main attractions/hidden gems of this city... From spending an entire day exploring the Boboli Gardens, climbing the 463 steps of Giotto's Bell Tower for a 360 view of the city/Duomo, eating more gelato than I'd like to remember by the Arno, and watching the sunset on the Ponte Vecchio from the rooftop bar of the Westin, I think we did Flornece right with what little time we had here.. Off to Postiano we go! 💙
Missing You Already..
All good things must come to an end.. This past month in Italy has been one incredible experience. Between work, checking out the school I'll be attending this summer, Polimoda, and being a complete tourist, I couldn't have asked for a better trip. The weather was beyond exceptional as I found myself being able to wear shorts and t-shirts most of the days, the food, well I don't think I have to explain to you that one and being able to spend time with old and new friends… It was perfect.
Here's a collection of my favorite photos from the trip ranging from the scenery to the food. Enjoy :)

Getting Lost in Florence..
Hey guys! Check out this article I co-wrote for my friend's travel site : www.simply-wright.com. In this article, I share with you all my secrets on the best places to eat, shop and site see in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. You can see it here : GETTING LOST IN FLORENCE, ITALY
Firenze
Out of all of the places in the world, Italy has found a special place in my heart. It fuels my undying love for food and fashion and being the extremely passionate person that I am, it's safe to say that I fit in here just fine. Having lived here briefly three years ago, it felt like forever since I was last here, but the second that I stepped foot off of the plane, I felt like I was right back at home. Come to think of it, it's because of Italy and all of the inspiration I get when I'm here, that I started my first blog to keep my family and friends at home updated on my travels. Many of you have continued to follow along over the years and I wish to thank all of you for the continued support.
This week, I'm in Florence to shoot but I decided to make an extra long trip out of this since I technically don't have to be back in the states until the premiere of my movie Sand Castles in April. My family and friends showed up a day later to surprise me and we've been running around eating, shopping, drinking cappuccinos and wine like you wouldn't believe. We're hoping to make it to Venice in the next few days, but for now, I'm more than enjoying being back in Toscana. :)
