HIGH RISE IN ROME

I have always loved skinny jeans and my current obsession du-jour is the high-rise version. Aside from the fact that they do a great job creating a very long and lean silhouette and they pair really well with most tops, from crop tops to button downs, especially if you leave a few buttons open at the bottom, the way I did in this look, in partnership with Lucky Brand.

If you guys follow me on Instagram, you may already know that Ninel and I spent a few days in Rome last week before catching a train to Venice. Though, we only had 2 full days to explore this beautiful city, we made it our priority to see as much of Rome as possible! So after taking a Colosseum tour, visiting the Spanish Steps, indulging in some delicious gelato by the beautiful Trevi fountain, we decided to take a path less traveled, and simply walk around Rome exploring all the beautiful little streets! So, we spent the entire day on Tuesday doing just that, and I have to say that I'm really glad we did, because we ended up stumbling across wonderful restaurants, great little shops and the cutest-looking rustic coffee place called Angelinas Cafe which serves the best coffee and deserts! I highly recommend trying tiramisu because it is seriously out of this world amazing!

Since I knew we were going to be walking around all day in Rome, I wanted to wear something cute yet comfortable, so I went with a pair of high-rise skinny jeans, a flowy silk blouse and a pair of comfy, strappy sandals.

What I love about this pair of Lucky Brand jeans is the wash, and also the raw hem which gives them a slightly edgy, modern vibe. I paired my high-rise skinnies with a silk flowy blouse in the prettiest shade of pink to give this outfit just a touch of casual ease! Finishing touches like strappy sandals, a cross-body bag and a pair of shades completed the look for a full day of exploring! 

Thank you to Lucky Brand for partnering with me on this post.
