"Italy-Inspired" on Keep

As a PR/Ad student and now professional, I've developed a passion for exploring the ever-changing social media world. Last summer I was introduced to Keep.com and recently re-discovered it while searching for summer style inspiration. Keep has some fantastic Italy-inspired items! A few personal favorites are the Jonathan Adler "scooter" pouch, the Rockstud patent ballet flats and the Espresso chart. Check out my Italy-inspired Keep board here and create a Keep account for yourself! It's another great way to organize your inspirations.

Italian-Inspired Spring Items From Kate Spade

About a month ago, I came across the Kate Spade "Ciao!" phone case and immediately fell in love with it. One of my favorite designers was inspired by Italy! I recently browsed the Kate Spade website and found a handful of Italian-inspired items - from clothing to tech accessories, "la bella vita" is getting even more chic.

Besides the "ciao" phone case, my personal favorite items include the "bella" makeup bag, "Bella Magazine" scarf, and the small lemon pouch that says, "When life gives you lemons, make limoncello" - a clever take on an old saying, and it reminds me of Sorrento.

I can't wait to head to a Kate Spade or department store to check some of these items out in person!
