Cassandra Leigh Does Italy

HER TIPS ON WHAT TO WEAR, EAT & SEE

Travel With Cassandra

With her suitcase brimming with Leina & Fleur, L&F afficienado, Cassandra Leigh travels to Italy on a European escape of epic proportions. Travelling from the Amalfi Coast to Cinque Terra and on to Rome, here's Cassandra's guide of what to eat, see and wear.

WRAP DRESS WONDERS
Amalfi Coast Dreaming

One of our reasons for choosing to stay in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast was that we wanted somewhere not too packed with tourists. The other reason was @pirata.praiano. As soon as we saw the pics of a bar in a cave on the steep Amalfi Coast cliffs and an amazing restaurant that hangs right over the sea, well we were sold.

Getting some sun in Positano. Wearing my Maggie wrap dress (my fave style) in the Aquarius print. This dress goes from beach to cocktails perfectly, and the beauty of the print is that if you’re still a little wet no one can tell - 167cm, size 22. I’m really hoping there are more Maggie dresses this summer 🤞🏻

INDI PANT IN BLACK
The Ultimate Travel Pant

When they say Indi is the ultimate travel pant, they mean it! 3 planes, a train and 40 hours later, she still looks and feels fab (me not so much 🤣).

Comfy and casual for travel, then a quick change of shoes and top (into Gitana Bowie) and I’m ready for cocktails 🍹 - stats - I’m size 22 and 167cm, and she sits between full length and 7/8 length on me.

TIME FOR TEACUP
Find All the Best Delights

Exploring the alleyways of Roma, that’s where you find all the best delights.

Iconic Trevi Fountain. It’s as beautiful as all the pics, although a whole lot busier than what you see. We got there at 7:30am and it was still thronging. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate my gorgeous dress?! Lightweight and breathable, she's perfect for summer climates and the blue and white print is just my cup of tea!🤩 👗 ⛲️

Bowie top and Palazzo pants a winner

I love my matching top and pants
So comfortable and perfect length.
I’m a well rounded size 10 157cm and I feel comfortable and elegant in this ensemble.
Hoping for more in a new colour:)

Bowie Top in Tropical Night
Lovely and light

Lovely “throw over” to wear on cooler summer days. Material is slinky with some stretch. Feels lovely to wear.

Carli Shrug in Black
So comfortable

I love my brown flutter top.
Easy to wear and comfortable .

Lila Top in Cocoa Bamboo
Daryl top is ace!

My favourite top is Emily but I thought I would give Daryl a chance and I love it .. I can see more Daryl tops in my wardrobe in the near future!

Daryl Top in Emerald Arches
Cute jacket

Sizing is a little on the small size. Nice jacket. Material gives some stretch. Looks good

Rainy Jacket in Black
Back For More

This is not my first Jaime as I love the style. The bamboo fabric feels fabulous.

Jaime Top in Black Bamboo
Beautiful flowy pants

Bought in size 14 to fit my hips rather than my waist (16) and still comfortable. On my 163cm height they are just off the ground in flat shoes. They are beautifully flowy and very flattering.

S.G.
Caspian Palazzo Pant in Animal Swirl
Comfortable and sleek

Bought in a size 20. I find the open style allows for a larger bust, and it gives a good vertical line. Fabric is firm but soft and sits well. Very happy with the slimmer lapel, would buy again.

S.G.
Lenni Jacket in Cobalt
Bermuda Shorts in Emerald

These are lovely. I’m not traditionally a shorts person, but these sit right on the knee for me ( I’m 155cm) and are comfortable and cool in this hot weather. I’m very happy with them!

Leina & Fleur
Paris Jumpstuit in Jade Glam

Wore this for the first time to my work Christmas party and have never had so many complements in my life! Total strangers coming up to tell me how amazing it looked, am now thinking about buying the sapphire too! It is comfy and stylish, and way more sparkly in real life than the website photos suggest.

Love Sumi

I absolutely love the Sumi print. I had to have Lila in Sumi to go with my navy danys and white pants. Such a great addition to my wardrobe. You can never have too many Lila’s in your wardrobe! Highly recommend!

R.C.
Lila Top in Sumi
Lila in Mariposa

Love this print and the slinky fabric. It’s so cool in hot weather. Lila is my go to top for work and play. Navy white and pink are my favourite colours so I had to have this one. It pairs beautifully with my navy Danys and white pants too. Highly recommend!

Lila Top in Pink Mariposa
Deacon denim jacket

Very good quality denim, I’m sure I will get plenty of wear once the weather s cooler, very flattering 🙂

Leina & Fleur
Dany in Machu

I picked up these culottes in a sale last year because I love my Jamie in Machu. This the first time I’ve worn them and my first Dany. Perfect length for my 162cm height and lovely fabric for this hot summer day. Looks lovely with navy Emily. More Danys please!

A.
Dany Culotte in Navy
A classic

Just so wearable! Washes well, and the Evan style suits my shape (boobs and tummy!)
