Hey guys! Have any of you tried culottes yet? This is my first pair and I can definitely say it won’t be my last (in fact, I have this gorgeous black pair on the way from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale!) Besides the super comfy and flattering fit, this tropical pair can easily be taken from beach side to city streets, thanks to the neutral color scheme. The best part is that they are now on sale plus an additional 70% off, bringing them to $15–grab a pair before they’re gone!
When it comes to rocking a bold pattern, I find it best to keep everything else simple: solid black pieces ground this overall look, giving focus to my pants.
Since culottes can visually shorten legs, proper footwear is key; although flat sandals also look cute, these tall wedges help elongate my frame.

Last week, I was invited to a Green Inspiration event at Accademia L’Oréal which showcased eco-friendly beauty and fashion. In the states, when something is made or grown without chemicals, we call it ‘organic,’ but in Italy, the products are known as ‘bio.’ These dresses and scarves were all made from organic materials.
At this particular vendor, zippers and beads were re-purposed and made into jewelry.
I love Matrix hair products, so I was excited to see their new line for all hair types, Cleansing Conditioner, which offers a 2-in-1 method for gently cleansing hair while lightly conditioning at the same time. Find the one that’s most suitable for your hair here.
We also got to enjoy some tasty appetizers featuring organic food from a local restaurant. The Caprese salad kebabs were delicious–I eat fresh mozzarella at least three times a week, and I still can’t get enough of it, especially with the wide (and inexpensive) selection you can find in Italy!
