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.

What to Wear with Cold Shoulder Tops

August 11, 2015

 

 

Top // Denim Shorts // Mirrored Sunglasses // Fringe Bag // Pave Necklace // Double Chain Ring // Strappy Sandals

Without a doubt, this has been the summer of the shoulder. Cold shoulder tops, off the shoulder dresses – you name it, I’ve worn it, but this season’s MVP goes to this tie-strap cold shoulder top, which comes in a slew of summery colors and a festive floral print. It was my go-to outfit when James and I road-tripped up to New England and again when we drove back down into the city (don’t judge the double dip).

 

 

Top // Scalloped Skirt // Round Sunglasses // Crossbody Bag // Initial Necklace // Wedges

The beauty of this top – besides the fact that it’s only $40 – is that you can dress it up or down. I’ve already worn mine with a pair of white shorts and my Jack Roger sandals and, on another occasion, with a scalloped skirt and strappy heels. And my shoulders may or may not be tanner than the rest of my body because of it. Cold shoulder tan is the new farmer’s tan. And it’s totally worth it.
