My Italian Adventures Part 2

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!
I am sooo looking forward to the weekend. This week has been pretty hectic with clubs + initiation but I am ready for some much need R&R this weekend!

I know it's been a long month overdue, but I am finally getting around to sharing all of my pictures from Italy with you. Milan was our first and last stop during our vacation in June. We flew into Milan this time and went back into town the day before our flight so we could explore some of the city. Unfortunately, my camera died but I was able to capture a few pictures!





Both of the first two pictures were taken at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. It is absolutely breathtaking. It's home to some of the most high end stores in the world such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Chanel. There are store surrounding the exteriors of the galleria, including a little mall. Right when you step outside, you see the gorgeous cathedral. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the architects and it is very much Italian-Gothic style. It took nearly six centuries to complete and is the third largest cathedral in the world!! When we were there, they were setting up for fashion week and the stage is set up right beside the cathedral #goals. I finally understand why Milan is one of the fashion capitals of Europe. It reminded me so much of New York and everyone was very elegant and dressed to perfection. The city is full of art, culture, and rich history. I did not get to spend as much time there as I would have liked but I plan on going back!

I hope you all enjoyed these photos and stay tuned for my next post!

October Inspiration Board

Hi friends and happy Wednesday!

In the past few years, I have become obsessed with making inspiration/mood boards. I have a pin board in my room that I pin stuff to from magazines, stickers, and I even have jewelry on it! I typically change out that board every season to help freshen it up and spark inspiration from the trends that are currently out at the moment. 






For October, I wanted to create a mood board to share with you all. October is one of my favorite months #Scorpioseason. The vibe to me is much more darker and neutral than September and if you know me, you know black is my favorite color! I knew I wanted to design this inspiration board with black in mind, adding some pops of gold here and there. I used all of these images from my Tumblr feed! Look out for my November inspiration board coming soon!
