As happy as I was to return home after my extended absence, looking at these photos from Florence, really makes me want to go back. There’s just something so charming about the cobbled streets of that beautiful Italian city, that certain je ne sais quoi that I can’t quite put my finger on, yet it’s definitely there.
Walking along the Arno river, le boyfriend and I spotted a chain of locks, which was later explained to us as “love locks”. Hundreds of locks with names of lovers inscribed, keys thrown into the river, so that the couple’s love is “locked up” forever. Romantic, non?
After hanging our very own lock, we headed over to the Boboli Gardens, for some gorgeous vistas of Florence, and some champagne on the grass…what could be better?
What I Wore: Shirt – H&M; Jeans – Gap; Belt – Nine West via The Bay; Shoes – Zara; Bag – Prada; Sunglasses – Ray Ban; Earrings – Forever21

I’m very jealous of your Italian escapade! This outfit is so perfect for vacation. It looks super chic, yet comfortable. Love the touch of leopard belt and red purse 🙂
Those love locks are adorable 🙂
Nelly, j’aime bien the LOVE LOCKDOWN idea, soooo romantic….. There is a bridge we saw in Paris with thousands of locks on it, now it all makes sense it is probably the same idea…. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Apparently the idea started in Rome (that’s what the Italians say)…and one bridge in Rome had so many locks that it posed an actual threat to the bridge’s structure! They had to cut a lot of them down 🙁 So sad.
You should start the same thing in LA 😉
