The Weekend with Liv

This weekend my best friend from home, Liv, visited from Paris where she's studying abroad. Instead of visiting many touristy stops, we spent the weekend eating mostly. Some of the great dishes we enjoyed include: falafel kebab (twice), tomato and basil spaghetti (best I've ever had), caper and garlic pizza, sundried tomato and mozzarella paninis, broccoli and feta pizza (we made), pesto ravioli and balsamic green beans (we made this also), dark chocolate fondu fruit and chocolate canolis. The last two were from the Chocolate Festival, which we stopped by multiple times. We also visited a gigantic flea market across the river, shopped for saddle oxfords, saw a few live shows, and watched a bunch of Party Down.


Coat: Zara / Pants: H&M / Boots: Forever 21


Fresh fruits and veggies, one of the best parts about being in Italy.


Some girl downing shots at the Chocolate Festival.


Liv eating her pistachio gelato in front of the Santa Croce.


So many puppies in Florence.


Chocolate heels.


Carnivale mask


Florence has amazing street artists.


Petting the wild boar for good luck at the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo.

Candy that probably tastes as good as it looks.


Can you believe that dog was real?!

Jacket: Forever 21 / Scarf: flea market / Pants: Sanctuary / Boots: les lolitas








If you write you and your loved one's initials on a lock and throw the key into the Arno River, you'll apparently stay happy forever.


Lobstahs.


Liv's flea market find: a beautiful 10 euro dress à la An Education.


My kitchen!

Note: A lot of these were taken by Liv.
