What I Wore in Rome Italy
The whirlwind trip to Rome, Italy, has come and gone. There were so many amazing aspects to this particular trip that made it very unique, but I will cover all of that in the day-by-day detailed blog posts I will publish very soon! Today I want to focus on the outfits that I wore and the clothing items I put a lot of faith in to keep all of my travel photos timeless.

Big family occasions call for the right outfit. I think we can all agree that the holidays become extra special once everyone is in the same room, and lots of photos ensue.

The Peacoat Trend
Long before it became the trend of the season, I was wearing this fabulous peacoat! Last year, I went on the long and treacherous search for the perfect fall and winter coat for those days when it wasn’t super cold, but definitely cold enough to warrant wearing a coat. So I went shopping for a peacoat! Fast forward to this year, and I am seeing a lot more ladies follow suit in the peacoat path. This is exciting to me because I believe the peacoat always looks so classic and can dress up almost any outfit! I know that this style of coat is never truly “out of style”, but…
