La Dolce Vita...

'The Sweet Life!'
Hi lovely readers. Apologies for the delay in posts recently, I had a hectic last week of uni and then was lucky enough to escape to one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Florence, Italy. I love to travel and this was such a great way to end the year. 

I highly recommend anyone that hasn't been - to go go go! The city is beyond amazing with it's artistic and architectural heritage, also noted for being one of the top Italian fashion capitals (the shops and galleries are just <3). All you fashionistas and artisticy types would be in heaven! I don't have much more to say in this post as I hope my photos can do the talking. Here is how I captured Florence, have a look through and let me know what you think. What have you all been getting upto!?

A small note - I hope you are all excited for Christmas! Outfit posts to come so stay tuned xx

In Italy it's encouraged to eat two scoops of 'Gelato' a day - so we did!
Everyone knows Italy is famous for it's pizzas and pasta dishes. YUM.

Just one of the many Gelaterias we visited. So inviting don't you think?  
'Strawberries & cream in a chocolate nest' - say no more.
French Martini
Waffle sandwich! 
Favourite snap of Florence. 
View from hotel room! 

This is Pisa - not far from Florence - equally as beautiful.
We visited the 'Leaning Tower of Pisa!'


The Duomo - A distinctive building in Florence seen from many a skyline.
Shine bright
Christmas lights! The large flower-like light is called 'Giglio' and is a famous symbol of Florence.

Art was everywhere we looked!
Street Artiste.
Chanel - Oh I wish!
