We’re taking a big trip to Italy this Summer, I can’t wait. I’ve already started packing in my head. When I saw this picture, I realized that she’s exactly who I plan to channel when I really start packing for the Italian seashore and countryside — sequins & Hermès bangles, my kind of girl! Disco + French woman=KALYN. I love the color combinations, her insouciant air and her general joie de vivre! Italy, here I come.
Ciao!


I like her outfit, generally, but I doubt I would wear that shirt and that skirt together.
Love it and perfect for touring the Amalfi Coast (in a convertible, natch!). Can’t wait to read your dispatches from Italy.
Its the hair and “air” about her that makes this photo so yummy. Pack as many matching H scarfs as you can. The wind can be aggressive on the coast and we wouldn’t want that delicate bun to come unraveled. Ciao!
I’m loving this photo. I am confident that you shall have no problems invoking the spirit of this woman. I spent June and July studying and travelling Italy about 10 years ago and it was one of my most memorable summer experiences. (Pack your mosquito repellant and your credit card for the summer Soldes) Enjoy!
Kalyn – I just booked a trip to Italy and you have inspired me to channel my inner Kalyn!
You are going to absolutely love it! I studied abroad in Florence in 08 and I’m dying to get back soon!
I would suggest watching Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck to get inspired….
I, in fact, have begun to channel you! You’ve such a great handle on what is functional, utilitarian and chic! Love your travel inspiration boards.
Kalyn,
That is so you. You are the perfect one to rock this look. I can’t wait hear and read about your travels. Mom and I spend two weeks sailing around Italy. We even skipped an excursion group lunch to “get our shop on.” Enjoy, eat and, of course, shop and shop some more.
FAB!
I love that shirt! I can’t wait to see what YOU will pack and wear!
