The return of the DKNY romper! Funnily enough, according to my Timehop app I wore this romper in Florida on the exact same day 2 years ago. This is what I wore on our last day for another visit to Universal. The benefits of having an annual pass mean we can spend our days just sitting around enjoying the atmosphere.
Most of this day was spent in Diagon Alley, as most of our days are. We had a leisurly lunch in The Leaky Cauldron and I had one of my favorite drinks, Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice. It is sooo good, and made special by cinnamon on the rim of your cup. The first time I had it was at the press preview for the opening of Diagon Alley and I rarely get it now because its $5 and I'd rather just have free water.

Quick break before my last outfit post from Florida. Wore this on a cooler day last week. This has been quite a weird June. It feels more like the beginning of Spring with all the rain than almost-Summer. Stupidly forgot to put on the necklace before leaving the house! GAH!

While in Florida my friends and I always try to go to Disney, but we also hate paying for tickets because they're so expensive. Luckily we have some friends that work there and are able to get a few tickets per year for family and friends. We had two of those tickets this trip and split the cost of a regular ticket between us. Much more manageable than the $149 it would have cost each!
Also, while at Disney Springs on our first evening in Orlando I picked up an adorable Mickey sweatshirt from Uniqlo! It was a bit of a splurge at $30 but it's so soft inside and the Mickey is fuzzy! I only needed to wear it for a short while because it was a pretty warm day, even with a couple hours of rain.

From one trip to the next! The Saturday before last I headed to Florida for a quick few day trip. I didn't take outfit pictures the first day (oops) so here's what I wore for our second day. The photos were taken at Universal Orlando Resorts newest hotel, Loew's Sapphire Falls. We normally stay at their Cabana Bay hotel but there was a better deal for this one during our trip. The hotel is really nice, I loved the lobby area, such a fun Caribbean-themed design.

We've made it to the last city guide of my Italy trip! But there will still be a photo diary tomorrow as well. We arrived in Rome around 12pm from Positano and stayed until Thursday morning, we left at 5:30am...BARF! Rome is a big place, so once again I'll only be sharing the highlights of what we did.
You can gain access to these with a ticket from the Coliseum, its about 12 Euros for all three if I remember correctly. It's one of the Seven Hills of Rome and is one of the most ancient parts of the city. Once you come down from the Palatine Hill you will find the Roman Forum. It's funny that such ancient structures are surrounded by modern buildings and a bustling city.
What to Do
The Aventine Keyhole
This is one of the coolest things we saw in Rome. My friend Caleb read about this little-known secret and I'm so glad he found it. There were only 4 other people there when we were. Basically you will walk up to a big green door and look in the keyhole to have a perfect view of St Peters Basilica through a garden. You can apparently arrange to go into the garden but we didn't look into that. So go to the Piazza Dei Cavalieri Di Malta and look through that keyhole!The Coliseum
One of our first stops in Rome was The Coliseum (or Colosseum depending on how you spell it.) We didn't buy our tickets online and were lucky enough to have a slow day in the on-site ticket sales. We didn't have a guide so we just walked around and took in the general splendor. They do an audio guided tour which I would recommend if you have more time to spend there, we had a lot to get done so it was probably best we didn't do that.Palatine Hill / Roman Forum
