Lulu*s Travel Style Diary: Budapest

I am excited to announce that I am partnering with Lulu*s for the duration of my trip across Europe to show you how to style outfits inspired by various cities I visit.

For Budapest, a city famous for its Turkish influence, I’ve chosen this Ottoman-inspired Crank Up the Lace Blue Skirt and paired it with a basic but bright tee in a contrasting color, matching my sunny mood and the (finally!) warm weather outside.

The ornate design of the skirt combined with the pop of color made enough of a statement that I decided to keep the jewelry to a minimum, opting for these simple and chic stackable rings from Gorjana. As for the shoes, flats are a must, considering that everything in Budapest is within walking distance. Such a fun outfit had me twirling with delight, attracting a few strange looks from passerbys on the streets. So although my outfit may have been on-par with Budapest style, my behavior definitely gave me away as a tourist (or perhaps a deliriously happy local.)

I also have a bit of exciting news to share with you. Lulu*s is offering FOXY OXIE readers an exclusive 15% discount, valid for a very short time. So hurry, hurry, hurry! Shop Lulu*s newest arrivals, because the offer ends May 18, 2013. Use the code FOXYTRAVEL at checkout.
