| exploring beautiful venice |

another day in venice was filled with loads of bridges and following this guide.  there is so much amazing architecture in italy.  I have found a huge addiction in european doors and terraces: the doors are all so unique (i'll do a "door" post later) and the terraces are filled with gardens, laundry and people enjoying life and it just seems so....peaceful.  i loved that in venice there were no cars.  Coming from Rome, France and UK you suddenly have an appreciation of the whole "i'm not going to get hit by a car today" mentality and it's nice. enjoy! xx

| london, baby! |

hi, from London!  Yesterday we spent the day touring sites like big ben, buckingham palace and riding the eye- for those of you who haven't traveled to london they are all fairly close to one another.  we grabbed a grilled cheese sandwich at borough's market and sipped on pimm's at nearby pub.  i love london!  there is so much history, beauty and shopping. holy harrods.  it's like you've died and went to fashion heaven.  overwhelmingly awesome.  my sister and my brother in law get in this afternoon and i'm so excited.  1 more day in london then it's off to italy for a few weeks. xo

| neutrals + metal details |

my sister was in town this past weekend, while we were out shopping she picked up the cutest pair of sandals with metal detail accents: she wasn't sure if they were trend right but they so are.  In fact, I was just relaxing catching up on some of my favorite blogs and browsing a few May magazines and you'll see metal details all over.  I really love this look: these sandals can be worn as a casual look or you can pair them with a fun spring dress.
