Red Vespa
Saturday, 5 September 2015
Tee: Bimba y Lola | Shorts: Levi's | Sunglasses: Quay | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
On my last day in Lugano Giulia and I decided to get up early to take some last minute outfit photos before I had to head back to Milan.
As we were walking down to the lake, we spotted a Red Vespa and thought it'd be the perfect spot to take photos! It was hot and humid so I opted for some cut off Levi's shorts, an oatmeal tee and a cobalt blue mini bag.
Which one of my holiday outfits was your favourite?
Lugano

Sunglasses: Quay | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Top & Skirt: Zara | Shoes: ASOS
Lago di Lugano
Location: Lugano, Switzerland
Dress: Zara | Shoes: ASOS | Sunglasses: Quay
Location: La Lanchetta Lounge Bar & Pinsa, Lugano
Top: Chicwish | Shorts: Levi's | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Lipstick: Estée Lauder Restless
After arriving in Lugano much later than expected - my flight was delayed 3 hours - I settled in to Giulia's family home and had a quick bite to eat before Giulia and I went off to do some exploring. It only took a couple of minutes to get from the house to the lake, where we took our shoes off and sat on the steps with our feet in the water.
Lugano is honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The mountains on the Italian side of the lake look like something straight out of a Jurassic Park movie and the water was clear and shallow for the first couple of meters, then dramatically plunges down into a dark, aqua-green colour - the deepest point of the lake is 288 meters!
Once back at home and cooled down, we started to get ready to go for dinner. With it being disgustingly humid, make up was not an option; so I put on some red lipstick to make it look like I'd made an effort!

Location: Ristorante Al Castello, Vernazza, Cinque Terre
Top: Zara | Shorts: The Fifth Label | Shoes: ASOS
On our last day in Vernazza Giulia and I decided to venture up the many dozens of stairs to Castello Doria, which dates back to the 15th century and was named after the wealthy and influential Doria family, who built the castle to defend the village from pirates. Unfortunately only one tower remains, but the view from the top is well worth it!
For the rest of the day we swam around in the marina and eventually made it back to our apartment to have showers and get ready for dinner. We ended up going to Ristorante Al Castello, which we discovered earlier in the day as we were making our way up to the castle. The views from this restaurant were incredible and the food - I got pesto spaghetti and Giulia got stuffed muscles - was impeccable.

After travelling for about 5 hours from Lugano to Milan and then from Milan to Vernazza, we finally made it to Cinque Terre (The Five Lands), which is made up of five amazingly picturesque towns - hence the name Cinque Terre - all along the unrefined coast of the Italian Riviera.
After settling into our cute apartment - we had the top floor so we had the best view and our own terrace, we headed down to the marina in hopes of swimming. Unfortunately, it was windy and the waves were rough, but we decided to jump in off a ledge that all the local boys seemed to be jumping off of. Big mistake, because getting out proved to be almost impossible.
After watching the locals jump in wave after wave for a while, we decided it was time to go back to our apartment and get ready to go to dinner. Once dressed, we headed back down to the town centre to have a pizza dinner at Vulnetia Ristorante; which was incredible and I highly recommend you try their pesto pizza (pesto was invented in this area, so obviously it's a MUST to try). We sipped wine, watched the sunset and made friends with the French boys who were sitting next to us.
Vernazza was definitely my favourite of the four towns we visited; there's more locals - which makes it more authentic, it's got a fab beach, awesome views - not just landscapes wise either
and incredible food!
