It's Giving Italian Summer — Inside The Dolce Vita x For Love & Lemons Collection
Just when we thought the Dolce Vita x For Love & Lemons collab couldn't get any better, they decided to release a second collection right before summer ends. That means you get to pick cute pieces for your last-minute getawaysor bucket list trip to create your own Italian summer — wherever you are.
This limited edition 9-piece capsule collection is equal parts feminine and festive. Designed by Laura Hall and Gillian Rose Kern, For Love and Lemons Co-Founders, the campaign inspires vision of golden European summer days and all the wanderlust. This is the pair's first foray into footwear, sharing: “We’ve been dreaming of shoes for a while now. We envisioned delicate little steppers gently tapping your lover's foot whilst sharing a plate of pasta in a little Italian restaurant, pretty heels dancing under the stars on cobblestone streets, ballet slippers resting gently on the passenger side dashboard as you cruise through the countryside for a weekend getaway."

The following styles are a part of the first stylish collection. Of it, Laura and Gillian said, "Everything we envisioned has come true thanks to our lovely friends at Dolce Vita. Here’s to more dreamy strolls on warm summer nights."
So grab a plate of spaghetti, put on your favorite summer dress, and choose your favorite style from the collection! Spoiler alert: It'll be harder than you think.

Daphne Heels in Black ($150)
If there's one thing we love, it's a comfy shoe that looks like a hot girl shoe. The Daphne Heels are glorified flip flops with a slight heel and floral appliqué, and TBH it doesn't get much better than that.
