Beautiful Places, Beautiful Spaces

Don't hate me for not posting anything home decor related! I'm sorry, I've been so sick and then busy, so Forgive me! I remember when I initally started this blog (not too long ago), I wanted a little bit of everything. Fashion, decor, beautiful things. I wouldn't say this post is completely interior decor oriented but I just felt like looking at beautiful spaces in beautiful places.

So today's beautiful place is Italy.

Enjoy!

I absolutely fell in love with this dress and imagined it to be a dress that can be worn to any formal glamorous event. Enjoy the look and buy it soon!
