Ciao!
I am back! If you have been following along on Instagram, then you know that for the past 3 months I have been studying abroad in the absolutely amazing Milan, Italy. It has been a whirlwind of a semester exploring the city, traveling around Europe and Italy, and studying all things Fashion and Luxury. With just a few weeks left of this incredible experience I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite moments with you on the blog. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for all things fashion, travel and of course food!
For now, here is a little post about my settling in during my first few days :)
I left from D.C. for my adventure on September 2nd. This was my first time traveling to Europe so I wanted to make sure I would be comfortable (yet stylish) for my plane ride. These joggers from Athleta are literally amazing. They are so soft and comfortable but the slim fit and the mesh tuxedo stripe down the side dress them up. They also have a wide, high waistband making sitting in them (for 9 hours to be precise) ultra comfy.
Also, how cute is this luggage? I got this rose gold set from Calpak. They have tons of sizes, colors, and textures. I'm obsessed with their black marble set too. The suitcase fits so much and maneuvers so easily. Of course, I had to match my passport with my luggage (and nails)! I got this mega soft leather passport cover from Cuyana. They monogram their leather accessories which is such a cute and personal touch.
Once I arrived to my apartment in Milan I was blown away! It was so much nicer than I expected a college study abroad program to provide. It's in Brera which is the cutest little area in Milan. Also how great are these massive mirrors? I seriously take an OOTD pic everyday..

So of course everything did not go perfectly. My big suitcase didn't make my connecting flight (cries). You can imagine how upset I was making my first appearance in the fashion capital of the world without my full wardrobe! Luckily, I had packed a few outfits and necessities in my carry on (contacts, underwear, socks, PJs) so I was able to put together 2 days of cute outfits. When traveling abroad I would definitely recommend putting enough to survive in your carry on because I've heard of so many people whose luggage got lost on their trip. Luckily I was only without mine for 2 days and the only major thing I was missing was my makeup.
I hope you enjoyed this brief catch up! Follow along for more Simply Holly Abroad posts! And of course, follow along on Insta if you don't already!
