This weekend I was lucky enough to fly out to Sorrento with three of my oldest school friends. I love the parts of Italy that I've seen before but I was especially taken in by the Sorrento area. It's a simply beautiful place to visit. We took a day trip to Pompeii, got a ferry over to the island of Capri and wondered the streets of old Sorrento taking in the sights and stopping every few hours for some fresh pasta, gelato or a glass of wine. Absolute bliss.
While I was out there, New Look also challenged me to put together an outfit using some items from their new 'Tropical Surf' range...
It was the perfect opportunity to embrace summer a little earlier than normal in the UK! As it was still quite chilly (Sorrento sits on the cliffs above the sea, so it's quite windy!) I decided to layer up a little acid wash denim dress with a tropical palm tree shirt.
I'm not normally one for double denim, but I've been obsessed with this dark wash denim jacket since I got it last week, so I popped that on to fight off the breeze! Topped off with a bright necklace and some chunky heels (much better than stilettos on the Italian cobblestones!) all from New Look.

Italy is amazing I lived on lake garda for 3 years and kept going on holiday there.... Anyway this year we have decided to go to sorrento in May.... It will be a nice break as 11 days after I come home I am having major back surgery to straighten my spine..... We are going to visit Pompeii, mount Vesuvius, amalfi and Capri....
ReplyDeleteAh I love that dress so much, sounds like such a great getaway, I'd love to visit pompeii :)

Ahh I wish weekend trips with my girl friends in the States could be as easy as going to another beautiful country like Italy, but of course , that is wayy too far from here for just a weekend! The scenery and cityscapes look beautiful and the foodie in me is loving all the food shots! Everything looks so delicious!

You must must MUST return and visit Amalfi but Capri is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Italy and one of my personal favourites - Pompeii I managed to get lost in for about an hour a half, madly panicking that I was going to miss the coach that was taking up back to the hotel so I think that's muddied my views of it as I remember panicking more than anything else!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!!! I hope I can get back to Italy again one day!!

ReplyDeletePrice of this dress was very good and dress was perfect. I purposely ordered a larger size and it was still a little small. But I take it as motivation to lose a few pounds.
