What Leanne Ford packed for Italy? Her beek boots, obviously. 🇮🇹 Made to walk, wander, get a little scuffed, and keep going. Read on to discover more about the trip.
A Note from Leanne Ford
One of my besties Grace Mitchell and I headed to Parma, Italy, to spend a few days digging through Mercanteinfiera— basically our idea of heaven!
We came to hunt for treasures, get inspired, and yes- eat all the pasta.Â
I can honestly say that my boots were made for this adventure! I brought the COUNTRY BOOT in eggshell for exploring and antique hunting- and the TOWN BOOT in black for wherever the night takes us. (Which if I’m being honest has been right to gelato…)
On a whim, we hit the road for the Tuscan coast and landed in Pietrasanta. We pulled together the fanciest outfits we could manage from what we’d packed, wandered the piazza, and looked for the restaurant with the best music and lowest lighting.
From there, we headed to Florence for the day, where we found the most incredible vintage bridal boutique, Recollection by Albrici, and continued the hunt for vintage clothing around the city. Also, more gelato.
These boots were never meant to stay perfect. In fact I can’t wait for mine to wear in.
Wear them often. Wear them well. Let them age. And make them your own.
Antique markets in Parma, cobblestone streets in Pietrasanta, and a bottle of Italian wine in Florence. Not a bad week, huh?! Â
XO, Leanne
