Since it’s my mom’s first time in Italy, I thought I’d show her around for a bit. Just a quick stroll around the beautiful city on the way to Ponte Vecchio.
This is Palazzo Vecchio located at Piazza dela Signoria. This Piazza is one of the busiest because it has so many tourist attractions.
This isn’t the real David statue by Michelangelo. The real thing is at the Accademia Gallery. The line for that is ALWAYS long and since my mom isn’t really big on museums, she’s already content seeing this replica. LOL! But if you’re a first time visitor at Florence and not lazy like my mom (just kidding, mom), I highly suggest visiting the Accademia so that you’ll see Michelangelo’s masterpiece in person.
Inside Palazzo Vecchio.
Just a few steps away from Palazzo Vecchio is the Uffizi Gallery, another must-see museum here in Florence. It has the best art collection that includes works by Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael and so much more.
Map in hand along River Amo! Such an eager beaver tourist!
Ponte Vecchio.
You’ll see a lot of jewelry shops like this around Ponte Vecchio. Most of them sell gold.
I have the exact same photo of this taken when I first went to Florence a few years back. Nostalgia hits!
When you cross the bridge to the other side of River Amo, you’ll reach Palazzo Pitti just a short distance away.
Aside from the Royal Apartments, Palazzo Pitti houses a lot of art works as well in its Palatine Gallery, Costume Gallery and more. I really love touring around palaces. So much grandeur!
The view from one of the windows at Palazzo Pitti.
Too bad I wasn’t able to tour around its garden though. It would’ve been great to take outfit shots here but the palace was about to close already. At least, I got to see it from one of the windows. Haha! That’s as good as it gets.
Might as well take my outfit shots outside like a true commoner. LOL!

Hello Ate Camille. I just would like to ask if the pants you’re wearing did fade a bit after washing? ‘Cause I also have like that (also bought in Singapore) and i guess it’s the same material. And unfortunately, the black portions did fade :( (turned to gray).
Mine are still fine :)
Hi there, Camille! Just want to know what camera you used for all these amazing photos? The exact unit if you don’t mind. Id really appreciate it Thanks and stay gorgeous!
Olympus OM-D EM5 :)

Thanks Tatiana!
I’m nuts for your printed pants here! The pattern is so cool! Reminds me of a very Alice-in-Wonderland theme. The places you showed here sure look very sophisticated… Everything seems breezy and peaceful despite the tourists. I’m also loving the artist you took a photo of. The paintings on display on her stand look very nostalgic.
They really do! You’ll love the random paintings you’ll see around the city :) So many talented artists!
While I was looking through your blog, my 6-year-old sister showed up in my room and saw your picture and said “Uy, ang ganda naman niya!!!” After which, she had taken my laptop from me and started scrolling through your blog. All i ever could think of was, “MANG-AAGAW” Kidding! Hahaha! She kept on saying, “Ang ganda niya talaga, ate”. Hahaha! Even my little sister adores you! :)
Haha learn to share!! Just kidding. :) Awww that’s such a cute story. 6 years old pa lang, fashion blog na! :) Thank you Coleen!
Wow, You look so ffffffffffffffff hot there. I love your hair and your leggings. I wish I could visit Italy too. SOON! :)
Thank you Jeront!
finally you wear flats! and still looks good on you :) (of course, what’s not)
I always wear flats when I travel! Can’t walk in heels haha!
Your posts about Europe makes me wonder how would you dress if you were Kate Middleton.. :)
Ohhhh like a true Royal! Haha! :)
wow I dream of Italy after I saw your pics. Thanks for the pics ms. Camille! You look so pretty :-)

Natuwa ako ng uber sa pants mo.. kasi pareho tayo! May i just say, “great minds, think alike?!” Assumera lang ako! Hahahahaa! Love you Camille! You’re my no.1 fashion icon forever. :D
Haha! Thanks Abi!
It’s so nice of you that you toured your mom there. And it’s really sad that you didn’t get to take outfit shots in that grade. It’s so beautiful :)
MISS CIELO

Super cute cat flats! :) Are there any other stores that sell these? i mean mga cat-themed na shoes?
Thanks Reena! I’m not sure if there local versions :)
Hi ate Camille :) Just wondering, have you tried travelling all by yourself? If yes, are you not afraid or something?
I wanted to travel someday kasi but I am kinda hesitant of the idea.
ShoutOut from CEBU : LOooooooooove your blog and especially you ate Camille. God bless.
Sorry for the repeated comment. I thought it wasn’t submitted.
Thanks Karina! :) I haven’t yet. I mean I’ve traveled alone but not all the way. There’s usually a group waiting for me na there :)

Did your mom took your outfit shots?
Yes :)
Ponte Vecchio looks interesting! and again, you look chic here, Ms Camille! you always do! Love your flats here! So cute! I guess i’m gonna spend one of my day reading all of your old entry and writing down what place you have visited and also saving some of your picture.. (I hope you don’t mind.. don’t worry, i’m not the weird stalker fan girl.. LOL) You really are an inspiration! and also a role model! <3

I don’t really do much :) I don’t iron it. :)
Omg Miss Camille. You really take good photos! Para na rin akong nkapunta sa Italy! :) You, Jessica Stein’s, Nicole Warne’s blog are my faves because aside from posting your very chic outfit shots, all of you also showcased to us the wonderful places that you’ve been to. It feels like we were travelling with you abroad! And I applaud you for that Miss Cammille! Thank you so much for posting; you’re an inspiration, especially to a girl like me who dreams of travelling around Europe once I have a job na! :)
Your forever fan,
Ericka of http://behappyblue.blogspot.com
Thank you Ericka! My blog can’t compare to your other favorites, their photos are amazeballs!!!
I like to walk like princess there. Haha. Dreaming!
Haha! :) Like princess!
Nice outfit. I love Firenze or Florence a lot.The entire city is like an art museum… :)
<3
I love your watch! The ombre effect pop of colr against the gold is so pretty!

Thanks Anne!
Wow!..what a grandeur!!..I don’t know why but the first thing that comes out my mind after seeing these is this outfit post of yours https://itscamilleco.com/2013/05/oz/ (The Oz). Italy has a lavish architecture. Thanks for sharing the pics, parang I went there na din. God bless
Oh yes! If only I can play dress up and take part in photoshoots here! :)
i love the flats!!! :)
http://celerhinaaubrey.com
Thanks Reigne!
Finally! Charlotte Olympia on your feet! Sana heels naman sunod! ;) Your denim jacket reminds me of the Acne ones on this month’s Preview cover!
Some day! I opted for these first because they’re just too cute!
When I go (yes, “when” so I’ll make it happen as opposed to when I say “if”, hahaha!) to Italy, I might just keep going “Ooooh! Ahhh! Pretty!” and take notes on where I can take future outfit shots, hahahaha! It’s like the place is blessed with a perfect environment! The government really takes care of their historical landmarks, kakainggit! I love your jacket though :P and your super adorbs kitty flats! <3
Italy has so many historical landmarks, you won’t run out of places to see! :) I do hope you get to visit the country. You’ll love it!
NO WORDS CAN EXPLAIN HOW GREAT BLOGGER YOU ARE ATE CAMILLE! You’re really genius! Keep it up! :)
Thank you Dyan :)
