Where to Go Vintage Shopping in Monti, Rome
My loves, as you might know, the sixth of September was my birthday, and I turned the beautiful age of 25. Since me and my blog have the same birthday, it is official now: my blog is also two years old!
Since I am getting older, it is becoming more and more important to me that I wear original pieces, and I try to avoid consuming fast fashion as much as possible. I love apps like Vinted, where you can buy secondhand items, but to me, there is nothing better than strolling along vintage stores, looking for little gems.
Rome, and the Monti neighborhood in particular, has wonderful vintage stores, with both designer and non-designer items. In this article, I will tell you all about my favorite vintage stores in the Monti area of Rome, so when you visit Rome, you know exactly where to go to treat yourself to a wardrobe upgrade.

My Prati Neighborhood Guide: An Elegant Part of Rome
I recently moved houses here in Rome, which means I get to explore different parts of the city in a new light. I have been to Prati many times before, but since I pass through here more often now, it felt like the right time to give this area of Rome the spotlight.
