Travel Style: 5 Days in Sicily

May 22, 2018

This past week’s trip to Sicily was…amazing, and scary, and definitely unforgettable. Amazing because of the food (obvi), ancient history, and adorable seaside towns. And scary because of the driving. Like pee your pants scary. The combination of amazing and scary makes the trip pretty unforgettable altogether! But, as always on CTF, first things first:…

5 Reasons You Need to Ski the Dolomites

March 6, 2018

Maybe you’ve heard of the Dolomites, maybe you haven’t. Before going on my first ski trip there three years ago I didn’t know what they were. Are they part of the Alps? Are they in Italy? Is the skiing any good? Answers to those questions: Yes, yes, and YAS. Since living in Europe I’ve been…

Weekend in Rome: Summer Style

July 18, 2017

This past weekend I took a quick trip down to Rome to visit my best friend and we had an amazing time! I am lucky that I have visited Rome in the past, so this time around I didn’t have to do the ‘touristy’ things, and instead got to enjoy more local living. And the…

DAY 4 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 Most athletic sneaker DAY 4 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 Most athletic sneakers I see at the thrift are too used to pick up, but fashion sneakers are a different story 👟 With Adidas Stan Smiths, Golden Goose, Vejas, and P448s all the rage, I decided to thrift these white sneakers with stars this season and am surprised how much I like them! Easy to wear with skinny jeans, mom jeans, or dresses 👍🏻 #thriftedshoes #countdowntofriday

DAY 3 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 I professed my love o DAY 3 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 I professed my love of tall boots yesterday, and now I'm going to talk about booties. I prefer slightly taller booties that cover my ankle, and I think they look great under straight leg ankle jeans (swipe to see some outfits) 👖 I got the suede Free People booties on @poshmark for $30 😱 and the leather lace up Timberland booties from Amazon Warehouse (gently used and open box merchandise, so kind of considered secondhand?) #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

DAY 2 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 I know booties are al DAY 2 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 I know booties are all the rage, but I am a sucker for a classic tall boot. They look so sleek, so polished! The two ways I like to wear them are: with a knee length dress/skirt OR with skinny jeans.👖Because how do you tuck mom jeans into tall boots? You can't...it's too bunchy! I thrifted these brown American Eagle suede boots a few months ago and have already worn them a lot 👍🏻 #seconhandstyle #countdowntofriday

DAY 1 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 For this short week I DAY 1 OF THRIFTED SHOES 👢 For this short week I'm going to talk about one of the biggest requests - thrifted shoes 😬 Some people might think wearing used shoes is a lil gross, and I can agree I've seen my fair share of nasty shoes at the thrift, but there are definitely some gems 👠I got these sad, sad UGGs (swipe to see what I mean) at the bins and rehabilitated them by cleaning off the dirt, dyeing the suede, and getting replacement inserts. So now I have the Y2K UGGS of my dreams for about $25💲Maybe this another sign of being a millennial (like side parts and skinny jeans), but I still love a classic tall UGG for super chilly days 🤷🏻‍♀️ #thriftedshoes #countdowntofriday
