Packing for Italy

by | Jul 21, 2016 | Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle, Pregnancy, Travel

This will be my 5th time traveling to Italy and yet I’m still trying to decide what I should be packing for Italy… And not just for myself, but for my boys as well!

We will be gone for 13 days hitting up Lake Como, Portofino, Florence, and Milan.  It’s going to be a busy trip to say the least.   I have been slowly starting to organize and check things off my list so that it doesn’t all hit me at once and I’m left scrambling (Guilty!)

Here’s my mini vision board I’ve put together for each city.  I’m hoping this will make the rest of my packing for Italy a bit easier, and more fun!

 

Lake Como

I know after a long flight we will definitely be planning to hit the pool.   As you know, I love matching and these matching father son Vilebrequin swim trunks are beyond adorable.  And for me, a standout bikini.  This line is killing it!LAKECOMO

Portofino

The marina in Portofino in absolutely breathtaking.  Not to mention some of my favorite shops happen to be right there.  These accessories would be perfect to wear while walking around or having a delicious lunch al fresco.

Florence

I can’t wait to see the architecture of the Piazza del Duomo in Florence as well as the beautiful Boboli gardens. I’m thinking something white would be so pretty and romantic.  And for Roman, I will be dressing him in linen as often as possible.

Milan

Getting dressed up for aperitivo in Milan is something I’m definitely looking forward to, even if I can’t indulge in prosecco.  I’d love to be in a chic restaurant with a beautiful city view.  This off the shoulder dress is calling my name.  I also love these wedges, which would be perfect for every city.
