Romance on the Road: Rome to the Amalfi Coast
Italy’s southern gems, Rome and the Amalfi Coast, offer a mix of history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. From the eternal city’s timeless ruins to the sun-soaked cliffs of Positano, each location deserves its own fashion story. Both cities to me encapsulate themes of romance, love and (ESPECIALLY AMALFI) the *soft life*
When planning “What to Wear” for this leg of the trip, I wanted to stay true to my style while honoring the essence of each destination. Because let’s face it—Italy is the place where outfits and scenery come together for picture-perfect moments.
Rome: Timeless and Alluring
Rome’s ancient history and captivating architecture inspired a look that balanced classic sophistication with a touch of allure. As someone who loves roses and the symbolism they carry, I built this look around a romantic midi dress from TikTok Shop (believe it or not) that was screaming for its Roman debut. Paired with my Dolce & Gabbana sandals, I finished the outfit with the most beautiful burgundy handbag—a fall purchase that’s quickly become a staple.

Positano: Sun-Kissed Glamour
The Amalfi Coast demanded something effortlessly chic yet playful, and this multi-colored print dress from SHEIN fit the bill perfectly. For a day exploring Positano’s colorful streets, I added a straw tote from Pucci (loveee this bag). To keep the look fresh, I accessorized with these stacked bangles I grabbed last minute from Amazon.
This outfit transitioned seamlessly from day to evening as we hopped on a boat tour to watch the sunset. I felt like I had stepped into a dream, glass of Prosecco in hand.
The Journey of Self-Expression
What made this trip unforgettable wasn’t just the views or the food but how my wardrobe became part of the experience. In Rome, my look captured the city’s timeless romance, while Positano inspired a carefree elegance that matched its vibrant charm. Across both, I felt confident and fully myself—a feeling I always chase when putting together an outfit.
Fashion isn’t about trends or perfection; it’s about how you feel. Whether you’re strolling through ancient ruins or lounging by the Mediterranean, your style should tell your story.
