This has been my first official month living in Florence. Adjusting was a little difficult at first, but now I feel way more comfortable with the culture change and my surroundings. The city is beautiful! I have also been very lucky to explore other cities, inside and outside of Italy, including Venice, Rome, and Barcelona. February was my birthday month and I feel so lucky and blessed to be where I am, celebrating my 21st birthday with amazing people, in beautiful cities.
I have also been really excited about some spring/summer trends and I can't wait for the weather to warm up.
~I have a little surprise as well, so keep reading!~
With that being said, these are my February favorites...
#1. Barcelona, Spain
Out of all the beautiful cities, I have visited this month, Barcelona was my favorite. It was warmer than the rest which made for a nice break from the cold. However, it was more than about being warm, I loved how it was a little bit of everything. There was the beach, the city, and even some mountains to hike up and get a good view. The food was yummy and the people I came across were all really nice. The city was clean and didn't feel super crowded. I'm definitely going to do my best to get another weekend there before I leave.
#2. Straw/Basket Purses

A spring/summer trend I am really excited about. I think they are so cute and perfect for pulling an outfit together. The straw exterior makes the style of the bag super season appropriate. While I haven't gotten my hands on one of my own (yet) here are a few that I love.

Another s/s trend I'm here for. I've been really into statement earrings in general. However, recently I have been playing it safe with metals, so I'm excited to explore some color. You can find them almost everywhere. I have a bunch of trips planned on the coast, so stay tuned to see how I style them!

My love for sneakers is nothing new but for those who don't know that about me, now ya know. While I haven't been able to treat myself to as many pairs as I would prefer (because trust me if I had the money, I would need a whole closet dedicated to them) I still love to admire. Here are a few that are on my wishlist.

#5. MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL
I am so excited to finally announce my youtube channel!! It is something I have been thinking about doing for a while now and finally got the courage to do it. I have been working on my channel all month and already have a couple videos up so check them out! I have been nervous about announcing my channel because while I am proud to have the content I have up, I know I have a lot of improving to do. I am still new to this and still learning but I am excited to get better and put out more content. I hope you guys like what I have up now but stay tuned for lots of travel vlogs, fashion and lifestyle videos!
Hope everyone had a good February!
