The worst thing about doing blog shoots in touristy places, and the reason we usually avoid them, is the inevitability that there will be lots of photo-bombers. The majority of the photos we took had the same lady in the background, so I had to crop or delete most of those, and then there was a photobomb by a gentleman wearing ‘mandals’. Hopefully this busy backdrop doesn’t take away from my outfit too much because this dress deserves its moment in the spotlight: the metallic gold tweed and genuine leather trim immediately caught my eye while vintage shopping and I knew it would be a great option to have for dressier summer occasions. I took it for a spin last week at a fall fashion preview party with Hoss Intropia, which you can continue reading about below to get the full scoop!
- Dress (vintage; similar)

Within the first few weeks of moving to Rome, I was making my way down to the shopping area near the Spanish Steps when the beautiful storefront of Hoss Intropia happened to catch my eye. I hadn’t heard of this Spanish brand before, but after admiring all of the uniquely feminine styles during one quick walk-through, I knew I would be back. Last week, I was invited to their Mid Season One party to preview the early fall collection (which you can shop here) and enjoyed exclusive time to shop and explore the new pieces after hours. While the hallmark style of this brand is relaxed and ethereal, the fall collection will feature more options with a body-conscious fit. If you live in the U.S., you can find a select collection of Hoss Intropia brand clothing at Bloomingdale’s stores in the following cities:
- Chicago, IL
- Costa Mesa, CA
- Miami, FL
- New York, NY
- Newport Beach, CA
- San Diego, CA
- San Francisco, CA
- Tysons Corner, VA
If you ever happen to be in Rome, I highly recommend making a trip to the store here–the entire team is so friendly and knowledgeable about the brand, and will go out of their way to help you create the perfect outfit!
