My parents went to Italy when I was young, a few years before my mother died. She came back with beautiful sunglasses that she wore for the rest of her life, they are in so many pictures from her final years. She told me she'd spent a fortune on them. I asked why, and she put her chin up with dignity and said the man who sold them to her made her feel beautiful. We had very little money but we'd gotten an inheritance. I'm so glad she spent the money that way.

..."the man who sold them to her made her feel beautiful." I don't know why that remark made my eyes well up thinking of my mother and sisters, whom I miss so much! May we all have a moment or two when we feel impossibly gorgeous, and may the memories of such days not soon fade,

Ciao Alyssa, I am an Italian girl, I live in Pisa (the famous leaning tower). I've been following you for many years and I'm happy that you made this video to celebrate the Italian summer style that I'm very fond of. I agree with everything you said, I would also add a scarf or maybe a straw hat. xoxo

As a person who lives in a hot climate I loved this. I hate that all hot weather videos are like “vacation” clothes. Like…people live where you vacation. Work, date , etc. and they need clothes and outfits not just vacation clothes. Does this make sense?

@wavyjenny602 Күн бұрын

I also find that in many videos even if I really like the clothes the influencer is wearing, when I go to look at buying them I find they are polyester, nylon or acetate, or some other mix of horrendous synthetic fabrics that I wouldn’t dream of wearing, especially in summer, unless I wanted to turn up somewhere looking like a sweaty and smelly mess! 😂 So many short polyester dresses with massive long sleeves and high necklines that would just be suffocating in the heat. Dressing for a normal day out, supermarket shopping, cooking, cleaning, commuting and working in very hot and humid climates is definitely a challenge!

@janetEC1C2 22 сағат бұрын

totally agree - couple of weeks back I was working as an examiner in a non-airconditioned room and it was 39 degrees C outside - had to choose outfit and fabrics very carefully!

@AnneHewitt 2 күн бұрын

Alyssa, this is a great video. My philosophy for many years has been that a good bag, good shoes and a good blow dry can take you just about anywhere. When I'm short on time or it's just too hot, I sub the blowdry for a neat bun. I think some lipstick and a pair of sunglasses is about all the make up you need in the summer as well. Enjoy your trip.

Of all the gorgeous aspects of Italian style, when I think of the defining element it is their way with accessories. Really distinguishes Italian from other European styles. These folks are not afraid to make a point with accessories!

@user-ry1vi1jc7o Күн бұрын

To me, it also seems that the Italians have fewer age-related fashion rules, as you will find older women wearing sexy looks in showing a bit more skin (shoulders, etc.), that older women tend not to do in the states. Italians hold onto their sense of feminine sexiness and seem to find a lot of fun in expressing it.

@mmcs4973 2 күн бұрын

Raised in Dublin, lived in London, now in Vancouver, I find most Canadians can't be bothered to dress well or appropriately. Athleisure wear, a sloppy alternative, has taken the place of everyday, and there's very little that's stylish going on. There's also very little choice between fast fashion (Zara, H&M) and the high end, (Max Mara, Kors, etc) It's a testament to the lack of fashion sense, that so many retail clothing stores either close down, or won't even take the chance of opening a store here😢 To be fair, I'm speaking of Vancouver, so it may be different in Toronto, and I've heard that Montreal has more of a French vibe so things may be better there....

@BeauOnTheGo_DC 2 күн бұрын

⁠@@mmcs4973sadly, the same in the US. Even in Washington, DC I find that most are solely dressing for comfort regardless of age. I am surprised at the number of positive comments I get on my very casual and understated outfits that are nothing more than a bit of styling, classic jewelry, and a deliberate approach to hair and make-up. All low maintenance and comfortable but with intention.

I love your videos when you’re in Italy. I have a friend who went there every summer for a month and she would bring me back beautiful jewelry. I have some that is made out of acrylic and it is gorgeous. They were clip on earrings and then a ring , was very unusual and it is somethingI wear to this day. she always came back with designer sunglasses and she still has them. She used to tell me that the women in the summer would wear the acrylic jewelry because it was not hot on her finger. These pieces were big and bold but not obnoxious.

Love your content, Alyssa! I do have to comment on sunglasses as fashion. I wear prescription sunglasses, so they are about sight and eye protection for me. And they already cost a lot without putting the lenses in designer frames. I have a classic frame, and that works!

I need a prescription too, and after years of steadily worsening, my eyes have reached a plateu and have stayed the same for 2-3 years. I never wanted to purchase sunglasses because every year my eyes would get worse and my prescription would change. Finally splurged and my sunglasses are heaven sent! I feel so cool when I wear them and I don't get as many headaches from sun glare. But my goodness, they were so expensive 😂

I was in Paris in April - and it was amazing how low key the street wear was. Lots of black, sneakers there were big too. Lightweight longer puffy jackets were also a big staple (conversely there was some leather wear too, but so much puff). And there the jewelry was super delicate and layered. Funny how different it is!

Appreciate the reporting from the destination! Sometimes the tension between packing to look good vs being comfortable is hard to navigate. Selecting open tote bags (theft-prone?) where I keep my wallet & phone and flat, unsupportive sandals (ouch) are not my thing even for everyday living, but the other items are exciting options as they are so doable.

If you arrange transport and accommodation etc you are classed as a Tour Operator and there are all sorts of insurances and laws you need to abide by. The only way around it is to say to everyone meet me here in this city and you book your own hotels and flights etc. It would be fun. Can you imagine, shopping then dining Italian style in a group.
