Ciao Bella!

Hi everyone!! Hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day and getting some rest & maybe a last summer BBQ in! Fall is my favorite season by a landslide, so I am excited September has started!

I got back yesterday from a wonderful week in Italy, and while not exactly a relaxing vacation, Italy is somewhere that every single person should go in their lifetime. There is so much history, beauty, love, and indulgence there - we had such a fantastic time!

I took a lot of OOTD pics, so I'll share a few at a time this week. Hope you all enjoy - let me know what you think! I promise that I will start working on returning comments & all of your blogs soon - my kids start preschool, soccer, dance, & gymnastics this week, so again, it will be busy, but I promise to find time for my fellow bloggers! xoxo

Crushing on Fall...

Hey beauties!!
I cannot believe it is September! Although I am not looking forward to school being back in full swing (nursing school takes up so much of my time!)... I LOVE FALL! Not only is football season & Starbucks pumpkin spice latte something to get excited about, but think about all of the different articles of clothing we can wear now! However, North Carolina is currently 100degrees everyday so I am still busting out my summer clothes (frown).

Anyway, I wanted to post some of my fall must-haves. My favorites and must-haves change on an hourly basis (LOL) but these are some that have stuck with me for days, so they must be worth something right? Let me know what y'all think and what your own must-haves for fall are!!

 

Aren't these Tory Burch boots to DIE?! I am in NEED of some brown riding boots, however, these are a little above my budget. I would LOVE some suggestions!

I am in need of a faux-fur vest! Kat has one, and it's adorable on her!

An adorable black leather jacket with jeans and a sweater underneath? I think so!

Umm... these loafers are TO DIE FOR! I want them so so so so bad!

Ok, I ask myself why I do not already own a pair of high waisted wide leg jeans? These are fabulous!

Lastly, I need your help!! I recently got a white blazer from F21, it isn't lightweight and I have been seeing them being worn in magazines and stuff for fall, but, advice?? I do tend to follow the whole "No White After Labor Day" Rule, but every fashionista breaks rules! What do you guys think? White blazer a no or a go after Labor Day? Let me know!!

Look forward to hearing from you all!

An Italian Story

Hey everyone!
I am sooooo sorry for being so absent! Between Kat going off to Italy and me starting school, it has been some hectic couple of weeks!! I just wanted to share with you all some of my favorite memories of Italy. Btw -- it was  SO hot. I definitely rocked my 5 min out-of-the-shower bun 99% of the time.

I hope you guys enjoy these pics! Let me know what you all have been up to lately! I missed my fellow bloggeristas ;)

XOXO, Danielle

Me standing in front of the Colosseum in Rome!!

My cousin took this picture of me being silly! The best part about it you can see the Colosseum in my Ray-Bans! LOL

I loved the way the sun looked in this picture ;)

Me before dinner in front of the Pantheon in Rome!

They have a ZARA in Rome and Florence!! I was a happy girl :)

Me at Cinque Terre... it was soooo beautiful!!!
