MILANO SPOTS: CALIFORNIA BAKERY

Sometimes I do also get tired of fashion, that's when I stop posting for more than a week so I thought these are good opportunities to show you other stuff like : really nice places I've been! The first I'm showing you it's tha supa duppa delicious California Bakery. From a small business it grew up to 5 locations now. This was the last addition that has home in Via Tortona. It's perfect for a late brunch something that I've been dying over the last years but shamefully I didn't concretize it yet. And look at those cupcakes.....

PARIS HIGHLIGHTS: BALENCIAGA

Nicolas Ghesquière said about his SS2013 work "It's the most sensual collection I've ever done" and I can do nothing but applause. I would say that is more an example of architectural minimalism rather than sensual but it's oh so nice to look at and so wearable.

TODAY AT MARNI FASHION SHOW

I could have died today that I would have died really happy. I was so happy I could attend the Fashion Show of one of my favorite brands! I was in the moon!!It's so interesting to see how people dress accordingly to each show, everyone was in the mood of Marni and were dressing Consuelo's past collection. A lot of Marni necklaces and socks with high-heels going around! I spotted Anna Wintour the "Devil" of US Vogue on the front row as well as some other fashion "celebrities". I loved the collection, there were few items with the funny Marni prints and the palette used was mostly the white, black and green. My favorite pieces were the dresses and tops in a shape of loose peplums. Everything was beautiful!

MY 1st AND 2nd DAYS OF MILAN FASHION WEEK

Words for what? Fashion week are the best days here in Milan. I feel so excited to see all the people of the fashion industry that I've been following for ages and sometimes have the chance to meet them that I almost forget to eat all day long! The first day I got to see the called "fashion hub" and see the creations of new designers and eat delicious finger food at the Fashion Club of Mercedez-Benz. Today we managed to see Gabriele Colangelo's Fashion Show and it was amazing to meet Caroline Issa, Eliza Nalin and Tamu there. But the high point of the day when I was standing outside Sportmax show and I felt someone touching my shoulder and ask "Sorry, can I take you a picture? " and when at look at him it was the one and only Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist! I couldn't even look like a normal person to his camera the nervous I got!But it felt so goood! Hope to give more news soon!xx

Palavras para quê? As semanas da moda sao dos melhores dia aqui em Milão. Sinto-me tão excitada de ver todas aquelas pessoas que tenho seguido ao longo dos anos e de por vezes poder conhecê-las que até me esqueço de comer durante o dia, qual fome qual quê! O primeiro dia tivemos oportunidade de visitar o "Fashion hub" onde vimos algumas criações de novos designers (que irei mostrar num post futuro) e deitar a mão a comida maravilhosa no Fashion Club da Mercedez-Benz. Hoje assistimos ao desfile de Gabriele Colangelo e foi maravilhoso conhecer Caroline Issa, Eliza Nalin e Tamu no final, obviamente esqueci-me de apresentar-me tal era o frenesim. Mas o ponto alto do dia foi mesmo quando à porta do desfile da Sportmax sinto alguém a tocar-me no ombro e perguntar "Can I take you a picture?" e quando olhei era o the one and only Scott Schuman do The Sartorialist!!! Não consegui nem fazer uma cara decente para a câmara mas a sensação foi optima!! Espero dar tão boas noticias como estas nos próximos dias!
