LBS Chic: What I Wore On My EuroTrip

Earlier this month, I went on an 8-day excursion to Italy and Greece. Ever since I studied abroad during my Junior year in college, Italy has been one of my absolute favorite countries. Though I studied in France, Italy left such an incredible impression on me. I’ve always wanted to go back. This year I had that opportunity. I also had the chance to finally visit Greece! My only regret during my study abroad semester is that I didn’t take a trip there, so when my friend Gabi invited me to Santorini for her 30th birthday – I was all in. Here’s what I wore and loved on my Eurotrip. I chose pieces that fit my shape and made me feel like a goddess:

1. Lady in Red (Florence, Italy)

In Florence, I knew it was going to be hot and that I’d be doing alot of sight-seeing so I opted for pieces that were light and comfortable but still chic.

I wore this red skater dress from Forever 21 Plus collection. It fits my curves well, and the bright red just pops really nicely against the Florentine architecture.

2. The Cold Shoulder (Florence, Italy)

I’m still into the cold shoulder trend and love how this one buttons in the front and has two super chic and sexy slits on the side. I wore this on my first day exploring Italy.

3. Green With Envy (Santorini, Greece)

I knew when visiting Santorini that I wanted to rock a really chic and brightly colored dress or jumpsuit against the beautiful backdrop of the cliffs and the water. So when Gabi asked all of us on the trip to bring a bright colored look with us, I knew exactly what I wanted to go for.

When I saw this green dress on ASOS, I was sold! The color looks great against my skin and I absolutely love the romantic ruffles on it and the slit in the front. Just beautiful!

4. The Citrus Slay (Santorini, Greece)

This citrus colored swimsuit coverup was a big hit in Santorini. From the pleats to the color, it was a really fun piece to rock on our Yacht cruise from Pyrgos to Oia.

5. Caped in Cool Blue (Lake Como, Italy)

For my 2-day excursion to Lake Como, Italy I wanted to be comfortable and also wear something that went with the romantic atmosphere. This look is actually a beach coverup that I decided to wear as a daytime romper.

It has a really deep-V in front so it actually would look great with a bathing suit top underneath as well. I fell in love with the cape in the back. So romantic and totally unexpected on a piece like this.
