Watch out for those Gypsies!

As I was leaving for Barcelona I was told by a number of people to watch out for the gypsies and to always be aware of my surroundings. As my friends and I were getting off the subway in Barcy a gypsy pushed my friend Lexi and grabbed her wallet out of her purse. We dragged the woman off the train and called the police and she threw the wallet out of her book bag and on the ground. CRAZY!!! CRAZY !!!I am just glad we got it back!

Sweet Sweet Sunshine!!

I knew that Barcelona was going to be a fun place to visit but never did I expect for it to feel like summer and be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! Along with great friends and impeccable views of the ocean the day just could not get much better.

BARCY!!

Walking down the street of Las Rumbles in Barcelona I spotted this neat museum!

Dont FALL!

 I would do anything for these Dolce and Gabbana face wedges!!!!

Spain on My Mind

I came across this image and seriously melted because Christian Ronaldo is honestly the most beautiful man on earth he is the definition of a soccer GOD paired with these HOT red pumps and classic CHANEL it just makes me happy!

I Die!

Brian Atwood is my Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seriously these pumps would be fantastic for our week long trip to PARIS!!!!

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening ."

I just love architecture and art that inspires!The picture of the street was taken just outside my hotel.I love the fact that every morning I wake up in Milan,Italy.Art museums are one of my passions and I live for visiting a new one in each of the cities I visit!I'm so excited for the day when we get to visit the Salvador Dali exhibit one of my favorite artist! I will be traveling to Barcelona, Spain for the weekend and I plan on visiting the Picasso museum,xochocalate museum and Museum erotica! So much to look forward too already! Not enough time to do everything I want in three months but I'm going to make every second count!!

La Rinascente

I can't stop thinking about marvelous food at La Rinascente rooftop restaurant was.

This one of kind department store features a whole floor dedicated to special bars such as a sushi bar, mozzarella bar(my heaven on earth), chocolate bar and regular drinking bar.The restaurant was called IL BAR and overlooked the Duomo the seating was outside as well as inside and had amazing decor! I ordered a chicken Cesear salad and it tasted better than anything I have ever eaten in my life. Drinking a glass of Vino Rosso and enjoying my delicious salad while looking at the beautiful view of the Duomo and listening to all the Italians surrounding me is what life is all about and learning to enjoy the little moments. Just talking about that salad makes me crave one right now like no ones business!!!  I feel as though that food floor was dedicated to me because I live for some good sushi and cheese!!!! YUMMY

SHOPOHOLIC

The day is getting near when Lanvins amazing designs will hit H&M stores and it will be complete chaos! This image is from the campaign and this tuxedo jacket is amazing along with the LBD! Im looking forward to going to Duomo area and checking out H&M on Nov.2 which is also my 21st birthday suprisingly!!! Birthday Present for myself is a must hopefully the designs will be as great as I expect, but how could it not its LANVIN! Then I will need to purchase a pair of new pumps from La Rinascente my favorite store in Milan, pretty much eight stories of pure heaven for any shopoholic!!!! If they have thearapy for a shopping addiction I think I will need it when I  return to America!!!!

Seizing the day

Life is about seizing the day and ensuring its memorable moments. Walking to the metro from a nice Appertivo with the girls I discovered the true meaning of beauty when I looked up at the Duomo at night time as the lights were shining off the top of the top of it and saw a couple hugging, it was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. You never think that a building could effect your emotions but it sent feelings down my spine that I have never experienced before. My definition of beauty now is most certainly The Duomo. The Duomo makes me want to cry just because it's astonishing beauty and the skill that went into creating it. All I could think about was I wonder how long and hard it must have been to create such a magnificent structure. I enjoy just standing in front of the Cathedral and people watching just to catch a glimpse of the fashion in the Center of Milan. I have seen everything from yellow and hot pink tights on women to men wearing platform shoes with striped dresses. I expected a totally different type of style from the people of Milan but what I'm seeing is making my adventure here even more interesting! Take it all in and SEIZE THE DAY!!!!!

Take a Walk Get Lost!

So far Ive been living in Milan for three weeks and I have been so amazed by all the inspiration this city has given me by just going out exploring the city and getting lost. I discovered that just walking around with a open mind and letting everything else go brings about a sense of peace especially looking at the Graffiti on the streets of Milan. The Graffiti is not only in Milan but Venice as well which was a surprise to me. I am getting very used to seeing the graffiti on the streets and have realized that is the Italians art form and is their freedom of speech because they do not have the freedom of speech here like we do in America. My girlfriends and I took a day trip to Venice and I stumbled onto this work of art. When I look at this particular wall graffiti I think about how crazy it must feel to only be able to have freedom of speech by painting random words and images onto a wall or building! Wow we are so lucky to have the freedoms we have in America!

Point of no Return

I didn't know how I would actually feel when I took a visit to Lake Como and got to tour the silk factory.  All I knew is that it would be a experience I would never forget but it was better than words could describe! I got to see the actual machines that produced the silk scarves for Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Leonard Paris and Versace. I felt short of breath and was very quiet due to the fact that I was starting to realize that all my dreams were finally coming true I was definately in the moment. The fact that I was getting a tour of the owner of the silk factory was amazing and I am so grateful to him. The silk screening tables were the coolest things I had seen and were being printed directly in front of my eyes. I mean Louis being made in the same room as me Seriously!!!! I was in my element of the fashion industry and soaring high full of happiness pretty much reaching a point of no return!
