Finally got to try a Dior Cappuccino 💅🏻 quite the luxury! . #dior #cappuccino

Had a great time visiting @glossier Miami today! Feeling all glittery and mermaidy!🧜🏼‍♀️

Rome, Florence, Milan, Turin, Florence Riccione, Rimini, Fiumicino and now home! 🛬 it’s been about 11 weeks of traveling through Italy. It wasn’t the trip I expected, I originally went to search for employment. But after really considering what life would be like in Italy, and a couple of very strange interviews, I decided that it was not the path for me. I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong, and what I encountered over the last few months of travel was far from the glossy, idealized version of Italy in my head. This was my 8th visit to Italy in the past 10 years. I’m not sure if Italy has changed or just me, but what I felt like I saw was a tired country, bursting at the seams with crowds and struggling to maintain itself. Yes, Italy still had wonderful food, but it’s harder to find now. Yes, there are still incredible art collections, but the experience of viewing it is a crowded and unpleasant one, with exorbitant prices. We were pushed around, literally stepped on, smoke blown in our faces, insects and other unspeakables found in our food, and people tried to rip us off at every corner (even for an Italian speaker). But Italy gave me this: some thicker skin, a lot of pizza, a healthy dose of perspective and countless aha-moments about life. The experience was a spontaneous and odd one, but incredibly rich and profound and I wouldn’t give it up for the world. . #travel #italy #winterinitaly #gelato #italy2019

Visited @martini hq (aka @visitcasamartini) today and WOW it was awesome. I’d say a highlight of our time in Italy. They had a wonderful museum about the origins of wine production and the history of Martini, and then we did a tasting of four Martini products. It’s a beautiful little spot and definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re as obsessed with Martini Asti as I am 💕 . #wine #vermouth #martini #torino #piedmont #asti

Milan Milan Milan... I cant say enough good things about this city. It’s definitely Italian, but gives off a North American feel. I want to say like Toronto but Italian and more fashionable. It is full of crazy luxury every where you look, which makes the perfect place for a birthday weekend! Armani and Bulgari have hotels here, you can get a martini at the Dolce and Gabbana bar, they have the nicest grocery stores and places to grab a bite, crazy architecture and they have a giant Starbucks in the most beautiful building... Italy’s first! I highly highly recommend visiting Milan if you come to Italy. It doesn’t really have the typical rustic Italian feel but it’s highly worth the trip, especially if you want to treat yo self . #milan #italy #fashion #treatyoself

Beautiful evening stroll along the Arno! . #florence #italy #arno #night #dusk
