When stylist and digital storyteller Lauren Preston goes on vacation, you can expect her wardrobe to be as stylish as it is thoughtful. And for her recent sojourn to Tuscany, she filled her suitcase with easy pieces from Merlette that she was able to mix and match as she moved between the urban streets of Rome to the lush landscape outside a villa. Find out how Lauren approached styling each of her looks, and be ready to indulge in some serious wanderlust.
LOOK 1:
I styled this look with a pointy suede kitten heel boot and the handwoven UPPSALA Belt to cinch my waist and elevate the JORDAAN Dress for birthday cocktails and an intimate dinner party at the villa in Tuscany.
LOOK 2:
AUBRAC Skirt, AZUREA Top, VARLET Woven Bag
I wore this look for a romantic stroll in Tuscany. I love the silky and light femininity of the look with rustic vintage boots for the perfect juxtaposition. Pairing cream and ivory, and mixing the linen top with cotton bottoms felt unexpected but easy. I love the VARLET Bag because of its versatility. I wore it exploring Tuscany by day and folded over like a clutch at night."
LOOK 3:
ELARA Top, PALISADES Skirt, LUNE Mini Bag, VARLET Woven Bag
I wore the ELARA Top and matching PALISADES Skirt multiple times on my trip—once on the Spanish Steps with cowboy boots in Rome and another time for dinner in Tuscany with a statement earring and mesh flats. They felt like a breeze and so incredibly comfortable when overindulging in pasta.
