So I’ve been AWOL for a while, reason being, I’ve actually have been stranded in Florence – not that that’s a bad thing.

I stayed with my fabulous friend Genevieve, who I met at NY Fashion week when she was working in PR, about 2 years ago – and I haven’t seen her since I left. So when she emailed to tell me she was in Italy for 4 months, I couldn’t book my ticket fast enough!

I was only supposed to be there for a few days, but thanks to the volcanic activity, the length of my holiday was doubled and we spent the entire time lazing/walking around in the sun, shopping, eating, drinking Sangria, partying, eating, eating, eating…. I’m sure I have gained about a stone.

I restrained myself from going mad in the shops, but I did get a couple of bits and visited some fantastic vintage stores and took some sneaky snaps. They were like little treasure chests found just off the beaten track. Gorgeous designer vintage boutiques as well as dusty cramped rooms packed to the rafters with Mama’s treasures. Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough.

Going to phase out the photos for you. And today, it’s vintage shoes, Florentine style. Enjoy!
