Cannes and Palma de Mallorca

Hello there!

I am back for another vacation post, but this time I am showing pictures from two locations. These towns were welcomed ports for us by this time on our vacation. We felt like we ran a marathon after Rome and Florence! It was so nice to be able to walk right off the ship in these ports and do whatever activities we wanted.

Cannes, France was our next stop and man was it impressive. Huge yachts and helicopters flying everywhere! You can definitely tell why celebrities vacation here. It was a gorgeous view of land from the boat.








Simple meals can be some of the best! These mussels we ate in Cannes were so incredibly good, Shane and I are still talking about them. It was a little beach restaurant on the other side of the road that looked good and had decent prices. I had a salad that isn't shown that was really good too. We had some champagne and watched all the people walk by. The weather was perfect out so we decided to walk around in the shops and the area to the right of the port. We stopped by Laduree and got some delicious macarons and did some window shopping before getting back on the boat. We didn't want to drag around our beach towels and other beach stuff so we decided to head back to the boat earlier and watch us sail away from port.

I wore this cover-up while in Cannes that I got from J. Crew and I absolutely love it. The cover-up is see through, but I wore my navy slip under it which quickly fixed that problem. I wore it as a cover-up a few times on the boat as well. I love buying items that I can get double duty out of. 







Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Palma was our next stop and also a walk on/off port. The cathedral was magnificent and great to walk through at a leisurely pace. The little side streets are so charming and you can easily tell you've changed countries. 





This crazy, ornate silver candelabra in The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma. They said it took years to be made! The detail was just amazing. 









This paella was so good and the sangria was even better!

The breeze that was going on that day in Palma was amazing, so I decided to wear this easy crocheted top I got from Forever 21. I wore a bandeau bra under it from BP. These sandals I actually picked up while in Florence. They were a life saver for the trip and so unbelievably comfortable! I walked in them all day long. 

Thanks for reading!

Roma

Hey Everyone! 
Today I am sharing photos from our time in Rome. We absolutely loved Rome {Italy in general}, but it was our first stop in Europe, so the memories we made there are really special. We only had three nights in Rome and we had a lot to see. We got into the airport around noon and once we got to our hotel we quickly changed and headed out to check some sites off our list. We stayed at the Grand Palantino Hotel on Via Cavour, which for us was a great location. It was not very far from the termini and close to restaurants and other sites. From the hotel, we walked to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps stopping for an espresso, panini, and a beer. We also walked to the Colosseum before heading back to the hotel for a small walking tour with our cruise group.

I wore this shirt on the plane with these beach pants from Lilly Pulitzer. I always travel in beach pants  because they literally feel like pajamas. When we got to our hotel I changed into shorts and some sneakers before we headed out to explore. It was fairly hot in Rome while we were there so shorts and a lightweight top were perfect.

This dress was probably one of the best things I packed for the trip {Last seen here}. I wore it with a scarf, but I also paired it with a jean jacket while in Paris.

This is such an easy dress that I love! Another dress that is easy to wear and pack. 

The BEST thing I did for this trip was packing a portable steamer. It was cheap and about the size of a large hair dryer. I put it in Shane's luggage and packed around it easily. We used a converter for it while in Europe and had no problems. We both used it for almost all our clothing and it was so nice to not be completely covered in wrinkles every day. 

I love looking at all the photos! We even got a pretty cool digital photo frame to display all the photos continuously. Up next will be photos from our cruise. I have been trying to shoot a few different outfits for about a week, but the afternoon rain here in Florida will not allow it. Black skies and rain every day when I leave work. The struggle is real :(
