The old lady known as Rome21
Posted In Life, Outfits
Rome is one of those amazing cities were no matter where you walk you are more often than not walking on ruins that are thousands of years old. She has many lovers and even more so, admirers. Rome is a fairytale that begins a long time ago but never ends… Definitely an amazing historical destination, however not so much the fashion headquarters of the world.
Indeed, Rome is not a fashionable place and even less so fashion oriented. You don’t go to Rome to shop nor to ‘people watch’ or you will die of boredom. Roman girls follow the most unusual and dull fashion trends I have ever seen; OTT embellished jeans, mid calf wedge boots, plastic copies of Moncler coat and on rare occasions the real thing and they are all sporting the LV monogram canvas.
This being said, this did make my trip that much more cheaper as there was literally nothing I wanted to buy, never a bad thing after Christmas. So, as promised here are some of my pictures with the “not so fashionable” outfits I wore, this is particularly due the the fact that is was throwing it down every day but also due to the fact that i had only one pair of flat shoes and Rome is not heel friendly, by far.

Wearing: H&M snood, Mango T-shirt, H&M cardigan, pimkie Shorts and Topshop pumps.
Why I chose to wear my T-shirt with half of Heidi’s butt hanging out the day we were off to see the Vatican is still a mystery to me. Then again it beats wearing thigh high boots 
Wearing (one of my favorite outfits of the moment): Green Army coat, loose H&M T-shirt, jeans and thigh high boots from Miss Selfridge. I spoke about green coats, like the one I am wearing, here. I had a summer version and I am so glad I found a winter version too.
Darling…ohhh lovely pictures!!! I loove Rome…is my favourite city!!!!
you’re really woonderfull 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ma parkaaaaa. aha. t’as tapé dans le mille.
Avoue que tu baaaad quand tu vois la forme du capuchon dans un miroir! j’ai du completement le découdre et le refaire.
haha c’est donc ca le mystère je pensais que c’était du à la forme de ma tête. Elle ma qd même sauvé des intempéris. Car il a plu tous les jours, dc la fomr du capuchon était le mois de mes problèmes
On va dire que cette veste est un “diamond in the rough”

I would love to go to Rome. So much history! I love your outfit for travel! xx
You should go, but don’t go in he summer way too many people and well I was going to say don’t go in the winter (it rains all the time) but that doesn’t leave you with many options
Try autumn maybe, no really it was worth it.
Love the new hair style

Je découvre ton blog, et j’aime beaucoup.
D’ordinaire je suis vraiment mais alors vraiment pas vuitton mais là il passe sans problème, limite tu me donnes envie d’en avoir un !
Comme quoi tout est question d’attitude et association.
Il faut aussi que je te dise que je te trouve très belle !
Bref je suis bien contente de ma découverte.
PS: tu préfères qu’on te parle en anglais ou en français ?
Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire, plus que gentil
Pour ce qui est de la langue, ça m’est égale je suis confortable dans les deux langues. Ceci dit je blogg la plupart du temps en anglais mais cela ne change rien pour les commentaires reçu de mes lectrices francophones
Pour le Vuitton, je suis pas une énorme fan mais qd j’étais à Paris, à croiser des Speedy à tous les coins de rues je me suis dit pourquoi pas. Ceci dit j’en ai un en bandoulière (damier) qui est plutôt sympa aussi.
Je vais de ce pas découvrir ton blogg
