Adventures in Italy

I am a travel agent and recently returned from a trip to Italy. I was invited to tour the Piemonte region in Northern Italy starting in Turin and then exploring the wine country. Then I was able to fly down to Rome for a few days. What an amazing trip!

I love touring castles and palaces and one of my favorite places we visited this trip was La Venaria Reale, which served as a hunting lodge for the Savoy family. Here I am in the gallery. Isn’t it gorgeous? My outfit consists of comfortable basics. I especially love my crossbody bag as it was convenient for keeping my passport hidden and had plenty of room for my sunglasses and other travel necessities.

Outfit: White Tall T-Shirt | Ankle Pants | White Sneakers | Cross Body Bag

Here are a few more pictures of the La Venaria Reale,

Water-Resistant Double Duty Boardshorts

My teen son loves the feel of these shorts. They are made of water-resistant fabric,  so serve double duty as boardshorts and every day shorts.  Plus, they are long enough for his 36″ inseam legs.  I gave them to him for his birthday and for a kid that doesn’t get too excited about things, he really likes them.  Anything he doesn’t return these days is a huge win for me.

I can see my son wearing this outfit to our trip to Hawaii, on his scout kayaking trip and to school.

Big & Tall Tropical Shirts

If you’re heading to a tropical destination, be sure and take a casual big and tall tropical shirt with you as you know you probably can’t find one there in your size.  I like this Tommy Bahama shirt as I like bigger prints and it’s not obnoxious.  Choose from a reddish color or blue.  Shop now at Nordstrom.big and tall hawaiian shirt
