I'm back!!!! Now let me warn you that most of the next 15 or so blog posts are going to be about my Euro trip. I promise I will throw in some fashion here and there. There are over a thousand pictures to sort through. I honestly don't think that is too bad considering we were away for almost two weeks. Time to get right to it. 

We started off our Euro trip in Rome where we spent about 3 days. By the time we found our hotel (we got lost), freshened up and got something to eat (pizza of course) it was well into late afternoon. Our first stop was the Colosseum. This was not my first time in Rome but you would never know by how excited I was when I stepped off the metro and saw the Colosseum. It was just as amazing as I remember. The last time we were there it was raining so it was nice to see it on a nice sunny day.

Next stop was the Roman Forum. These ruins represent the center of ancient Rome and they were quite amazing. Unfortunately it was getting late in the day so we kinda rushed through it.

After the Roman Forum we were a bit over sightseeing so we decided to take a walk.

We found our way to the Spanish Steps where we lounged for a bit. We were so tired from our flights and walking around that I felt like we could have spent the entire evening there.  It is a great place to people watch. Men's fashion in Italy was quite the treat.

After the Spanish steps we took a walk over to Trevi Fountain. It was quite crowded but we managed to squeeze in for a few shots. We decided to move on and come back later in the evening. By this time we were starving so we stopped at a cafe off of one of the side streets near the Trevi Fountain for spagetti and wine. Unfortunately the food was not too memorable but the wine was. We ordered a carafe of wine for about 4 Euro which kept us entertained for most of the evening. Let's just say our walk back to the Trevi Fountain was quiet entertaining.

We ended out night with gelato by the Trevi Fountain. We were quite exhausted by the point so afterwards we headed back to the hotel to get some rest and prepare for Day 2 in Rome and Vatican City. 

With regards to my outfit for Day 1 I wore what would become my uniform for the trip. The dress was super light and perfect for the weather. It was quite warm but the temperature dropped a bit in the evening so my denim jacket worked perfectly.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ToAdorn. All opinions are 100% mine.

As you all know I am always looking for a deal and when it comes to deals I can sometimes be very impulsive. Although I have gotten a lot better over the course of the past few years I am still guility of impulse buying especially when I find a good deal. 

I recently came across a site called ToAdorn. This is like a groupon or living social for clothes and accessories. It was love at first sight for me. Not only are the items they offer extremely trendy and cute but they are affordable. The catch is that they are only available for a a limited time. 

For example the bracelet below was available on the site for only 5.99. Such a great deal and regularly retails at 19.99.  The only catch is when I looked at the bracelet it was only available for three hours. 

 

Here is a sampling of some other deals that I found on the site. Different things are available everyday which is very exciting. I find myself logging into the site every so often to see what kind of new items they are featuring. 

These bracelets were only 3.29. I am bit sorry that I did not get them when they were available. 

Only 3.29.

These cuffs were only 6.49 and  very similar to something I have seen at high end retailers. 

The other great thing I like about this site is the fact some of the items are handmade. I love buying handmade and even though  I know a lot of time goes into making handmade items they can be a bit expensive. This site makes handmade items accesible which is nice. I am off to do some shopping on To Adorn. Be sure to follow them on  Facebook for more information. Hopefully I won't get myself into too much trouble.
