Ann Taylor navy striped tee with high waist navy wide leg pants, J Crew ponte wide leg cropped pants, culottes with lace up pumps, Brahmin mint green handbagThe near-perfect weather in Rome makes spring the best time of year, but there’s another reason why I love it so much: gorgeous wisteria vines suddenly bloom everywhere around the city. I can’t get enough of its heavenly fragrance, and the draping purple flowers can make even the most run-down building look romantic. I told my husband I want to plant some of it at our home one day as a reminder of when we lived here, but for now it makes the dreamiest background for photos!Ann Taylor denim trench coat, striped tee with wide leg pants, J Crew ponte wide leg culottes, mint handbag with navy outfitCropped wide leg pants are having a major moment, and I have to say how much I L.O.V.E. this pair from J. Crew: the high-waist fit is so flattering, the ponte fabric is super comfy, and the wide leg looks amazing with heels–I definitely recommend them for anyone who needs a pair of culottes (thinking I also need them in black!)

To get a jump start on my ‘tan,’ I’ve always been a fan of the original lotion from Jergens but I’m about to try this one because it’s supposed to work faster (here’s hoping I’m bronzed by the weekend, ha!) If anyone has other recommendations for good self-tanning lotions, I’d love to hear them. Thank you so much for reading!
