A TRUE ROMAN HOLIDAY (AND SHOPPING OF COURSE!)

So i have just come back from a holiday in Italy and it was beautiful out there! 
Just what i expected, was like going back in time...roman ruins and retro vespas everywhere! 


I'm a massive Audrey Hepburn fan and was pleased to get a chance to experience Rome like she did in Roman Holiday...Sadly i'm not an escaped Princess. 


Italian fashion inspiration for my packing...






STYLISH SOUVENIRS

One of the best things about holidays is finding hidden gems like the below which no one back home will have.

Brought some great Italian goodies:
1. Nautical Jumper from Sorrento - 15 euros
2. Beautiful statement necklace - 5 euros
3. Real leather (chanel style) bag - 60 euros
SORRENTO JUMPER
I think this jumper has a cool retro feel and works well when put with denim shorts.
STATEMENT NECKLACE

There was a jewellery shop in Sorrento and this necklace was calling for me to buy it!
I love the chunky beads and flower detail...to me this is like something you would find in Zara..however instead of costing £30 this was only 5 euros! Such a bargain.

LEATHER BAG
"Italy is the land of the Leather" would be a same not to have brought something!!
I always wanted a Chanel bag however bank account will not stretch to that.
This grey quilted bag is perfect plus being real Italian leather is a bonus!
Was hard picking a colour though...there were so many!! May need to go back.
