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!

Italy Meets America: Style

Last night I was intrigued by what my Italian favorite stores are currently selling. OVS, or Oviesse, is the Italian equivalent of Forever 21. I pulled the olive blouse and fur vest from Polyvore for this outfit. I would definitely wear this during a Vespa ride on a brisk day in Rome! Check out OVS.it - I wish they shipped to the US!!
