Oh, Florence! How magical and beautiful you are! Dylana and I were in Italy for Luisaviaroma‘s bi-annual #Firenze4Ever weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts! With dinners at the gorgeous Palazzo Gondi, cocktails at Ex Manifattura Tabacchi, and a beyond pleasant stay at the grand, Villa Cora Hotel, every moment felt picture perfect. I was indeed living in a colorful and quirky Wes Anderson film. The pinks, the yellows, the blues, the golds. I couldn’t put down my camera. Villa Cora felt very much like it was out of a fairytale. So unreal. So grand. Every night was one to open your closet, and figure out, “Hmm, which party dress shall I throw on tonight?” Which heels will still allow me to dance till 2 in the morning? This little Marc Jacobs number was definitely a show-stealer, but wait until you see what we wore for our Luisaviaroma #SuarezSisters photoshoot shot in a gorgeous artist’s loft. We’re talking Alexander Mcqueen, Philosphy, Masion Valentino, Missoni, and Marni. All of my favorites. We were definitely dressed to the nines, and what better place than in the glamorous Italia?! In between interview sessions with editors who flew in from all over the world, you could find us in the sauna…or if you heard Justin Bieber blasting from one of the hotel rooms, it was probably us.

Stay tuned for more.

You can count on finding a killer, dramatic, and extra edgy dress on Luisaviaroma. The holidays are just around the corner and I am stocking up on party dresses. But of course, not your average. I’m talking fun proportions, boots made for walking, and lots of black. My plans for the holidays are totally up in the air right now. Shall I have a Venice Beach Christmas on the patio? A friendsgiving? Or hop on the next plane to a city I’ve never been? Who knows. All I know is that I’ve got my wardrobe ready and set. This dress’s shadow play in the sun is purely genius. Now let’s just figure out the home cooking and wine list.
