I’m so excited to announce my next trip which is to the city that I’ve been visiting since I was 4 years old…Istanbul! Just in case you couldn’t tell by my weird name, I’m Turkish and while I was born and raised in the U.S. (the first person in my family to be exact, so special!) my parents are from Istanbul. Since the majority of my family lives there, we always go and visit them during the summertime. I’m so lucky to be able to visit so frequently because let me tell ya, Istanbul is such a magical place filled with so much history and culture while still remaining modern and cutting edge. Plus not everyone gets to say that they’ve visiting the only city in the world that’s located on both Europe and Asia!
I haven’t been to Istanbul in three years because of college and the last time I was there I didn’t have a blog so I never really got to share my experiences there. That’s why you can only imagine why I’m so excited to be able to document so many beautiful places, talk about what fashion is like there (people are really into it over there like you wouldn’t believe), and of course add to the travel section of this blog. Lucky for me, school ends at the end of this month and I’ll be leaving a week afterwards so not much time left! In the mean time, here’s some pieces that I thought would be perfect to wear while there. I’m also thinking about doing a “what I’m packing” post and other travel posts dedicated to international traveling since I’ve been doing it for pretty much my whole life. I swear, half the fun of traveling is all the things that you get to blog about beforehand haha.
Thanks for reading,
