I have never been a huge fan of boyfriend jeans, for myself at least, but these ones, which have a slimmer fit, are more like girlfriend jeans and right up my alley. I love distressed denim and these have just enough relax to them (and a high-waist #instaspanx). As you know, I love neutrals, but when I saw this tanergine-peach cardigan, I gave it a go and loved it! I think the warmer weather is making me want to inject some colour into my wardrobe.
Lastly, I replaced my Pumas with these chic Stan Smiths, which I have loved from afar for years. They definitely aren't as comfortable, but I love the look and pop of green. I can't wait to style them in a more dressed up manner with black skinnies and a long wool coat.

Almost half of April was spent in Italy, which is why it's dominating this recap but it was seriously a trip of a lifetime, so let's jump in.
In April I shared my Top 5 Spring Trends video and we left for Italy. We flew to Florence and traveled south (Rome, Amalfi, Positano, Capri) before returning back to Florence to fly out almost two weeks later. It was my first time overseas, in Europe, everything, so it was quite an experience!
Highlights of the trip include tons of eating, climbing the Duomo in Florence, seeing and staying in Positano, the boat ride day to the island of Capri, taking the high-speed trains, a Tuscany wine tour day and purchasing my first designer handbag.
When we came back, we spent the third weekend in April skiing at Mont. Tremblant, which was so awesome! It was warm and there were dirt patches and it was just so fun to get one last ski day in before Summer without freezing our butts off, for once. We took a mini-road trip to the US, filmed a Spring lookbook (which will be out in a few days!) and I shared a pair of my fave heels in an outfit post.
Bring on May (flowers) & even warmer weather!
This past trip to Italy was my first time overseas and we did quite a bit of traveling around. From Florence, to Rome, to Amalfi, Positano, Capri and back to Florence and into the Tuscany countryside, I saw and learned a lot. I'm sure there is plenty more to learn and easily plenty more to see but I wanted to share 10 things I learned while there:
1. Toilets & Restrooms | Often times restrooms are singles and not gender specific. Additional, toilet seats are next to non-existent, so you're either squatting or sitting on the bowl. I had also heard that sometimes you would need your own paper so always kept tissue travel packs on me, but never had that problem. Also, it feels frowned upon to use a restaurant or store's washroom unless you're buying something there.

I love the scuba / foam material trend that has been around for about a year or so but I'm just hoping on board now with this amazing, boxy top. Definitely the kind of top that adds volume but the structure and quality of it is really beautiful. It makes a statement despite it being super simplistic.
These new skinnies are super high-waisted and while I'm not showing it off in this outfit, I wore them with a hi-low sweater the other day and felt half like my mom back in the day, and half chic--a great combination, if you ask me. I never thought I'd be feeling the high-waisted trend but I'm loving it. Next on my wish list? Some high-waisted dark denim flares like these.
As I mentioned yesterday, on Saturday, Marco and I took a mini road trip to the US to get his new tires and do some minor shopping while we waited. I am bringing you guys along for the full day plus randomness when we got home and a mini haul.
Thanks for watching! xo
