Love Story
On the plane ride home I watched Love Story, a series documenting the whirlwind relationship of John F. Kennedy and Carolyn Bessette. The best part of the series for me was reliving the fashion from the early 90’s. The minimalist fashion and simple color palette consisting of black, white, and khaki. There was such an ease to her dressing that captivated so many. I’m sharing some pieces that can achieve some of her iconic looks below.
- Maje Double Faced Wool Coat, $965 All her coats were belted or tailored.
- Leset Kick Flare Cropped Pant, $260 She loved a cropped kick flare, denim version from Alex Mill, khaki version High Sport.

Ciao
ME+EM Blazer // Nili Lotan Leopard Cashmere Crew // Quince Cashmere Crew // Jeanerica Jeans // Toteme Clutch
Usually when I travel to Florence, it’s a quick two or three day trip packed with activities. This time I’m seeing it a lot differently without a ton of scheduled plans. The past two nights we sat outside Il Santo Bevitore having aperitivo and watching all the beautifully dressed Italian men and women. I could sit there for hours, the fashion is so chic yet practical for city living. There is an ease to the way people interact with one another and enjoy life at a slower pace than in the states. While roaming the streets, I stopped into the original Gucci store to pick up a new pair of loafers and mules. I also checked out the new IT suede Borsetto bag along with this belt and sunglasses. Also on my list was a stop at the Hogan store to replace my sneakers (I got these & these). Lastly, was the Ferragamo store to try on the Vara pumps. I bought them many years ago in Rome, they just revamped the Vara with a block heel and a quilted ballet flat (love them all, classic!).
We are staying at the beautiful Collegio Alla Querce – the decor, service, and architecture is truly magnificent!
This is a picture from the Gucci Museum which was a very cool exhibition.
