back to basics

Tee: GAP; Jeans: Marciano; Sneaks: Converse; Scarf: Gifted I recently took the plunge and bought a pair of high-top Converse, and now I can’t even understand why it took my so long to do it! I love them! Isn’t it funny how you can be so nervous of trying something – and then when you…

Jeans and Tee: Marciano; Jacket: H&M; Hat: Abercrombie (old); Scarf: Gifted; Sneaks: Nike; Bag: Longchamp; Sunnies: Oliver Peoples ‘Alivia’ Our last day in Italy was spent exploring Rome.
