It is really a surprisingly lovely garden among the roof tops - what a great place for a proposal! I think&nbsp;the Uniqlo silk tops are very well designed - the fit is excellent&nbsp;and for the price it is worth a shot.</p> <p>Nancy you are so sweet - my kids and I&nbsp;form a mutual adoration society I am lucky to say.</p> <p>Deb, Vickie and Ceit thank you for the hat love. I always wear a hat outdoors not for style but for sun protection (my skin is very prone to hyperpigmentation) but it seems I have made a virtue of necessity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1007842 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 17:19:57 +0000 nancylee 1007842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing trip! &nbsp;I'm such a fan of your easy Euro chic style. &nbsp;You always manage to look effortlessly elegant...even while traveling across continents.</p> <p>You look serene and lovely in photo #1. &nbsp;Your children are so obviously adored by their mom. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1007759 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 14:54:26 +0000 Anonymous 1007759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hat, it is amazing and suits you so well.

I like the uniqlo sleeveless top too - was thinking about trying it myself but not sure when I'll next be in NYC so I might have to order.</p> <p>So glad you enjoyed the High Line! Did you know I got engaged there?</p> <p>And, mmmm, gelato! My favorite is amaretto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1007691 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:01:15 +0000 Vickie KY 1007691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the hat. The only time I wear a hat is once a year at church when we have hat day.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006771 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 03:49:50 +0000 deb 1006771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good in that hat!!!

No question that we love being in Rome and on vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006390 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:09:36 +0000 Angie 1006390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful to see your trip pics. Having gelato a few times a day in Italy should be law. </p> <p>You are so beautifully elegant and stylish in your huge sun hat, Shevia. It blows me away. And shelters the entire family! And its a stunning juxtaposition with your long shorts looks, fluid tops and trendy footwear. </p> <p>Your kids are adorable, and you look so happy. Your new purchases look KILLER amazing. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006294 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:35:43 +0000 Jaime 1006294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your kind words&nbsp;and I am with you all on the gelato love&nbsp;- my favorites this time were coconut and hazelnut, but there are no bad flavors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006198 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 05:55:57 +0000 rae 1006198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the Roman holiday brings back great memories! Mmmm, gelato... and look at those fantastic deals you found! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006169 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 03:57:16 +0000 Anonymous 1006169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, you look lovely and relaxed. There is no such thing as too much gelato! Did you have the flavor that translates to "death by chocolate" in English? I'll never forget it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006152 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 03:09:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. On my bag thread, I suggested you might need to find a source for Aunts &amp; Uncles bags--that was before I saw your beautiful new bag here!<br />One day I hope to get to New York again, and I will have to check out the lower east consignment shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006146 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:59:24 +0000 Jaime 1006146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Sadly my big hat got drenched at a waterpark and is a bit worse for wear - I am very flattered by all the hat compliments!&nbsp;</p> <p>Cobaltblue - I wore that top so much on the trip that I went and bought it in another color and its long sleeve twin.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firecracker - The consignment shopping around East 9th St. in Manhattan is simply amazing.</p> <p>Carla - Ah to be home in Rome! What a wonderful idea!&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I think we have a date to shop in Tel Aviv before we hit&nbsp;New York but either or both sound fantastic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006137 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:41:55 +0000 Carla 1006137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, love the first picture. You look so euro-chic and charmingly relaxed and at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006126 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:15:58 +0000 Suz 1006126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot believe how drop-dead glamorous and gorgeous you look in that hat!! <b>WOW!</p> <p></b>Okay. Now that I have recovered from my fainting, may I just say that you are the vision of "Roman Holiday" in that first shot?&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>I am so impressed by the way you can combine an extremely feminine and somewhat retro piece like this with special designer finds and create a look that is ageless, timeless, and uniquely your own. Brilliant!&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>I love your new items -- the blue top is stunning on you, as are the shorts. I love the High Line, too -- such a fun reclamation project! And next time you go to New York you have to take an extra day and we have to overlap so we can go shopping together. You have a magic touch.&nbsp;<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006099 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:37:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These photos are lovely--thanks for sharing them! You look fab in your summer outfits and hat. Your new items in photo 6 are wonderful; they are so relaxed and hip. Or luxe casual. Love your new bag; what a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006087 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:17:18 +0000 cobaltblue 1006087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Uniqlo top! You look lovely and perfect for a whirlwind trip with lots of sightseeing. Good plan to go for maximum gelato intake - nothing like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trip-recap-with-a-few-new-things#post-1006084 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:10:47 +0000 Jaime 1006084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had a hectic but very fun trip starting with our weekend stopover in Rome, then to New York, with a week in the middle in Florida where my mother has recently moved and my sister is heading toward right now. Here are just a few highlights:</p> <p>1. Although we were in Rome for just 3 nights and 2 days I believe we managed to have gelato FIVE times.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Offset, in part, with a climb to the top of the Spanish steps. We walked all day both days we were there and got in much more touring than I would have believed possible.</p> <p>3. Here are DDs in front of the Trevi Fountain.</p> <p>4. We discovered that there is a beautiful Japanese garden in Boca Raton. I am super happy to be with my sister (I am holding wine she has sake).</p> <p>5. Visited the High Line for the first time in NYC - highly recommended!</p> <p>6. Outside the Museum of Mathematics also in NYC. It is a smallish, manageable and fun place for kids although they have over complicated many of the exhibits. Loved the enthusiastic math geeks who were volunteering there in the summer.</p> <p>In the last picture I am wearing some of my new wardrobe items: blue Uniqlo silk sleeveless top (quickly has become a staple), harem style silk Allsaints shorts (consignment shop on the lower east side), and Alexander Wang metallic slouchy bag(!) I wanted a silver bag and splurged a bit on this (bought brand new with dust bag also at a consignment shop on the lower east side).</p> <p>A terrific although exhausting trip, and some great shopping (yes there is more). Thanks for looking (and any kind of&nbsp;comments are appreciated)! </p>
