Boboli Gardens, Florence

My last post on Central Park really got me in the mood for spring and has now inspired me to dedicate the rest of the week to beautiful parks and gardens around the globe.  Today I chose the Boboli Gardens in Florence where I will be visiting in less than a month!  I’m imagining in my near future a breezy sunny day strolling through the gardens with an Italian loaf and various cheese wedges in my tote!

Where to Wear: Asymmetric Skirts

Maybe it’s a little early to be talking about easy breezy warm weather attire, but with new stuff coming out online and in stores, it’s hard not to get excited about the upcoming season change.  I’ve been looking at a lot of asymmetric cuts lately.  I really like them, because they tend to look great on all body types.  Big, small, short, tall- these uneven hem lines trick the eye and give your body whatever fab enhancement it needs.  Now, don’t get me wrong, they’re not miracle workers, but they are comfy cool pieces that everyone needs in their closets this spring!

Where to Wear: Short Suits (Answer: Spring 2012)

Ok, this is my last little “Where to Wear” for awhile.  It was just too fun not to do during the shows!  Love these little short sets.  Not too practical for work, but they are super chic!  I love the brights and the whites.  Very sophisticated and sexy at the same time.
