My European Vacation

For those who still don't follow me on the social networks, it's time to tell you a bit more about my European trip. This year it was packed with gorgeous locations, great company and amazing food. I spent 3 weeks in Europe, kicking off my tour with a week in Cannes followed by a road trip around Tuscany and three day stays in Brussels and Amsterdam. I managed to see a total of 16 big and small towns all over Europe over the course of my trip. It was a little exhausting, but very exciting. I came back with a huge baggage of great memories and I think I even got a little depressed upon arrival, because this trip was like a dream and yet it was over so soon :( 
I was freaking out for a couple of weeks before leaving since I had absolutely no idea what to pack with me. I wanted to have a lot of outfit options, but didn't want to take a big suitcase in lieu of the amount of travel that I was planning to do. I also had to plan warmer looks in case of chilly nights or temperature changes from country to country. I also refused to take anything that I couldn't wear more than once and anything that wasn't pretty enough. I bought so much stuff from different online stores in hopes to get those ideal outfit options, but ended up returning most of it. I was getting desperate... 
But then I remembered about one store that somehow slipped my mind - my favorite Lulus. After spending hours on the website, I finally chose a few great summer dresses, pants, tops and a cool white jacket - perfect for summer nights. Whether it was surviving extreme heat in Cannes, getting lost on the streets of random Tuscan towns, admiring the architecture of beautiful Brussels or having the time of my life in vibrant Amsterdam, Lulu's made it easy for me to look stylish and feel comfy. Check out my looks that I wore in different cities and let me know which one is your favorite!

Cannes Diary - What to Wear and Where to Eat

As you know from my social networks, I am currently traveling across Europe, and as part of this amazing trip I spent last week in Cannes. I had so much fun there, going to the beach, eating unlimited seafood and croissants and catching up with my friends. My summer fashion consisted of very light items with thin materials due to hot weather in Europe and trying to minimize my luggage size. Here is a photo diary of my looks and places to visit via my Instagram @byDianaMarks. Enjoy :)
Hat: Club Monaco. Romper: Sandro. Flats: Soludos.

Remembering Cannes

This is one of the looks I wore for a casual yet stylish walk in Cannes last month - a simple dress from For Love and Lemons (that literally goes with anything!) and comfy flats with my fave Proenza

My European Adventure

Being a blogger I did a very uncommon thing on my trip across Europe: I never took a single outfit post. There are two reasons for that. First, it was a vacation and I wanted to take some time off my blogging and second, it was so cold that I couldn't wear anything other than a thick puffer coat over the sweater and my Prada boots, which happened to be the warmest boots out of all I got =) 
I still snapped some photos to share with you guys since I visited so many beautiful places in such a short period of time. The photos don't do it justice, but the atmosphere in all these places is magical and the fact that my loved ones were with me made it so that I will cherish those memories forever. I learned that it doesn't really matter where you are as long as you have the people you love next to you. I was equally happy on top of the Eiffel Tower as on a five hour train across France. And in light of hopefully the hardest year behind me and my family, I learned that the key to happiness is having a supportive loving and most importantly healthy family.
I wish I could convey the hectic life of Milan during sales period, the exquisite beauty of the romantic Venice, where every single stone could tell you centuries worth of beautiful stories, the most picturesque and relaxing sunsets in South of France and the historical, elegant and one of the prettiest cities in the world - PARIS!
