Fashion for everyone

DD and I have both been to Rome before so we were happy enough to search out the quieter streets and enjoy a long lunch rather than queue for hours to see Rome's famous hot spots, but despite the multitudes we couldn't resist the Trevi Fountain and a walk around the Colosseum. I think this is because I have seen the films, Roman Holiday and Three Coins in a Fountain so many times. Those films are as old as old but I love them despite that and I adore the stories and the visuals.  They appeal to the romantic in me and as a girl I remember watching these movies and thinking ...one day, it will be me in Rome. I imagined myself riding on the back of a Vespa with a Gregory Peck modern day look alike or being wooed by a Rosanna Brazzi style hunk......So, I guess I left my run a little late....but Rome is still Rome, even without the Vespa.


Rome, like Paris, is a walking city and is a city overflowing with architectural and archeological wonder. Like Paris, Rome is a city to visit over and over....but in the winter months when her splendour is not hidden and her charms can be truly appreciated. xv
