This is my last outfit post of 2013! Last week I went to Viareggio, a small beach town on the Italian coast. It is only about an hour and a half train ride away. (Yup, those are my pink ear buds you can see peeking out of my Longchamp...didn't realize they were showing until after the photos were taken...haha). Even though it was winter, it was only a little chilly because of the sun. It was so refreshing to be on a beach and by the water and to get away from Florence for a day.

instagrams from europe 2013

 

It's been quite the time here in Europe...adding 11 European countries to my list of places I've been, I've gotten to live my dream right out of college. I'm so happy I was able to make traveling happen. It was something I worked so hard to do and to figure out. I only have 10 more days until my return to the States - and I'm making it count!

European countries I have been to as of December 2013: Italy, Ireland, England, Slovenia, Croatia, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Turkey

There's still so much to see in the world. Feeding my travel bug has helped sustain it for a little, but also made it worse - I have even more travel dreams, and hope to make them happen someday.

2013, in outfits

It's crazy that 2013 is almost over, and another year has gone by both in real life and on the blog. Going back through my outfit posts was fun to see the similarities and differences in what I wore: during and after college, for work, while traveling, or just out and about on a regular day. I also had plenty of staples that I often wore, like my Hudson skinny jeans, Chanel aviators, Ray-Ban blue aviators, khaki-colored Longchamp, and Kate Spade gold bag. It's nice to know that I've gotten plenty of use out of those pieces!

Cheers to 2014 - a whole new year, a fresh start, and rocking it in fabulous outfits! Who's with me?!
