A platform kinda day



It's already my second week in Florence and I'm not tired of this city yet or maybe I will never be!
I've been spending my days walking and walking... Everywhere there's something that screams beautiful to me: from the little streets to even the staircases.
Of course during sightseeings, comfy pair of shoes are needed so for this long day, spent wandering around the city, that ended up above this beautiful staircase during the sunset, I opted for my DIY platforms, which had originally clear straps that made me look like if I was walking with bare feet! So I decided to hit the nearest Leroy Merlin and got some metallic paint. They ended up looking perfect!

The View

If you guys haven't notice yet from these few shots, I actually have been in Tuscany for over a week now and has definitely be the highlight of this summer. I've been mostly around Fiesole and the city center of Florence.
 Though I was born and raised in Milan, I think tourists will get more the essence of Italy here;
 there are so many places to visit such as museums, churches, restaurants and yes! of course the boutiques! Florence is so famous for their leather so here you can definitely find a lot of different types of real leather bags, jackets etc...
Speaking of real italian leather, in this outfit I'm wearing my Hermèssque bag (click here)
Stay tune for more Florence-posts!

Nature


Nature has always been a part of me, though people think I'm high maintenance or fuzzy, the truth is that I would absolutely love to stay few weeks in a wood with my tent and sleeping bag. I've been a girl-scout since I was 5, so being in the middle of nowhere is definitely a place I love to hang around in. Now that I am a little more grown up, I definitely spend my time in the nature in a more fashionable way, combining my passion for fashion and... nature.

Airport Lovin'

 I really wish I could escape for a while as well and being at the airport made feel like I was half way from my mysterious destination. Airports are definitely one of my favourite places to hang out ad wander around.
If I were to leave I would go for a glam/celeb style look or for a more relaxed one; for that day I though I go for a laid back outfit, though I wasn't really leaving but if I was I'd an oversized cardi and maybe a bigger bag to hold my flight necessities.

Running Wild


Who says black cannot be worn in the summer? Of course it can! As long as you keep your outfit as little and simple as possible other wise we'll all be sweatin in it. I would recommend to wear colorful pieces such as neon bags, sandals or even just a lipstick and nail polish, even though I paired my outfit with brown accessories. I'll definitely show you another way to wear all black soon!

Sneakers, I've missed you



Few months ago I've seen this girl on the subway wearing a denim button up, a maxi skirt with a high slit on the side and some jordans! She was absolutely stunning with her outfit and her wavy long hair. Her outfit was definitely in harmony between girly and tomboyish and she has also made me into maxi skirts (that I actually bought one) and sneakers all over again. The only sneakers that I've been wearing throughout these years are my Nike High Dunks, which I've wore only during my PE classes and out door activities and my Chucks (All Stars) that I've recently found again. 
Since I got more involved into fashion and finding my personal style, I've completely forgotten about my obsession and love for sneakers, which I used to have during my early teenage-hip hop years (I still love the music, but I can't pull off my baggy jeans and Adidas shells anymore!)
I've totally neglected trainers for so many years, though I've always thought they were gorgeous, but I could never fit them into my personal style. But that girl on the subway showed me how I could pull off those sneakers and still being quite girly and stylish. She also made me love Jordans even more, because someday I may actually buy them and style them! Let's slow down, I'm not in that point yet, but it would come soon, since I am loving Jordans now.

Enough rambling, I actually wanted to make this post, because I found these beautiful pair of Nike's that I'm planning on getting, but since I've been struggling on how to wear my other sneakers I'm not 100% sure if I should get them. I'm 99% sure now, so I might them as I see them again, but still... I don't want to purchase them and then left them dusted under my bed. Should I get them?

Backyard


 I finally had the chance to write a blogpost after my final exams and showing you how I style my Hermès..que bag. It is summer now, though it doesn't seem like it from my outfit, but lately has been a bit more chilly compared to a week ago, which was hella sweatin hot!
