What I Wore in Italy

In a follow up to my previous post on packing for trips, I’ll be sharing here details on the outfits I packed for our wedding trip/mini-moon in Italy. We heard typically the weather in June is less hot, but this year all of Europe seems to be in a heat wave. Definitely something to keep in mind for future summer travel, in general it is probably best to steer clear of cities and head towards the water if you are concerned about excessive heat. This was definitely the case for us, as we loved our time in Puglia the most due to the proximity to beaches and water.

Most of my outfits were from Revolve – I tend to procrastinate on packing and pulling outfits, and Revolve always comes through with guaranteed 2-day shipping that is really more like 1 day because I live in LA. It’s the best and has saved me so many times over the years when I need something last minute. I buy a lot of gifts for friends from Revolve as well for this reason. You can find most of the pieces I wore from Revolve – I always update my lists to include everything currently in my closet/in rotation.

What I Wore in Italy

I would wear linen every day on vacation – it’s the best fabric to travel with in hot weather as it’s easily packable and always very chic. Also, I prefer clothes that roll up and fit into packing cubes easily (all about maximizing space!). I wore this bucket hat almost every day, as someone who usually wears giant straw hats on vacation, it was honestly a relief to pack one that was more compact (but still cute) for this trip.

This bag turned out to be my most used summer bag, I didn’t think it would be very practical but it surprisingly holds a lot of stuff and is very sturdy. I did try to stick to a fairly neutral palette with some color mixed in for the ease of packing and mixing/matching pieces along the way.

By far my most compliment outfit of the trip! This cream plisse set is surprisingly versatile, I also wore it on the plane back home as my travel outfit.
