Off the Shoulder Dress // Sunglasses // Rosegold Watch

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I was starting to lose track of the days here in Italy, until I saw everyone posting their excitement for a long weekend.

Packing for an Italian Honeymoon

August 26, 2015

Tassel Dress // Straw Hat // Sunglasses // Backpack // Cami // Gladiator Sandals // Ring // Bikini // Crossbody Bag

Today, James and I are finally heading off on our honeymoon! We got hitched back in May, but decided to settle into the married life beforehand. I’m so glad we did because I’ve been looking forward to this adventure all summer! We’re jetting off to Italy, where we’ll visit Milan, Venice, Florence, Capri and Positano – needless to say, I can’t wait to get there!

As a serial overpacker, I really tried to be more planful with what I threw in my suitcase for this trip. Clothing wise, I packed a few of my favorite camis (they’re reversible, so I can get double the wear!), easy summer dresses and a leather crossbody bag monogrammed with my new initials.

In terms of electronics, let’s just say we’re prepared to get our tourist on. James picked up a new GoPro 4, I have my DSLR and we’re bringing a portable WiFi hotspot with us to stay connected – plus an external battery charger to keep everything juiced. I can’t wait to share more of adventures on the blog, but until then, you can follow along on Instagram (@skirttherules_) or on Snapchat (SkirtTheRules). Ciao bellas!

End of Summer Dresses

August 25, 2015

Blush Slip Dress // White Sunglasses // Fringe Earrings // Knotted Necklace // Crossbody Bag // Gladiator Sandals

Fall may be around the corner, but the weather would say otherwise right now. It usually doesn’t start cooling off for another few weeks, but stores are already stocked with with sweaters, jeans and even puffer vests (ugh, shoot me). The only upside to this are the end of summer sales online – it’s your best bet at still snagging an easy, breezy dress at a pretty major discount.

I just picked up this blush slip dress and this blue and white striped number, both for our trip to Italy this week. Are you still hanging on to summer with every fiber of your being or are you ready for fall?
