Tell Me a Story

I love when editorials tell me a story--even if I'm not exactly sure what that story is. This editorial from W KOREA is doing just that.

Lugano

I had never heard of the Swiss city of Lugano until Yvan over at Facehunter posted his snaps from a trip he took there. It looks idyllic! Take me there.

IoSonoL'Amore

This editorial for Vogue Netherlands has me dreaming of an Italian getaway. I love all the resort pieces, and Elise Crombez is doing the job perfectly! I always appreciate those little unexpected details (running shorts, anyone?) (ph:fgr)

Ciao,Bella

These Prada bodysuit's and accessories are probably getting enough exposure without me posting them (again), but I couldn't help it. Not only does this make me want to go back to Italy soo badly, but the idea of hanging out in a villa, in Prada, in Italy is almost too much. So many good things going on here!

Naked Abbey Lee and potted drawn plants. Perfect for my vibe lately. I spent the night having the best tiramisu of my life and drinking a bottle of wine with my boyfriend on the grand canal of Venice, and it couldn't have been more perfect! I'm excited to be home to regularity, but also don't want to rush the rest of what Italy has in store for us.:)

regularity

Blogging from Rome, and with the first sign of fast internet I've had in two months, I've been using my downtime to get back into the swing of things as far as the internet is concerned. I have an absurd amount of unread posts on bloglovin and as the people who have stuck around as readers of pepper+chips during this dryspell will know, it's been a bit dead around here lately. I feel a windfall of newness coming on for p+c, and if there's anything you want to see let me know!

had to share

Posted this on my tumblr already so my apologies to those of you who have seen this already buuuuuttt--I met Sasha Pivovarova in front of the Colosseum yesterday! It was completely random and she was just walking by but I had to get a picture. Excuse my general disheveled-ness, I had been walking around Rome in the heat for about 7 hours at this point. Really wanted to share this photo with you guys, I'm still in shock---ahhhhhhh!

2.Keg+pink bucket+red cups. Not always classy but reminds me of home.
My trip in Paris is officially over! I can't believe the 2 months I spent in that amazing city are already over. I'm in Italy now exploring Rome with my wonderful boyfriend Sam (it's been way too long!), and we're heading to Venice in a few days. For now I'm loving Italy and will probably continue my bad-blogging streak of updating pretty rarely, but I thought I'd post some California inspiration, because part of me can't wait for the rest of the summer in sunny CA, regular blogging and maajor catching up, and friend-time before heading back to school in September.
