Fashion capital of Italy....Milan!

Came back from Milan yesterday...
still feeling kinda jetlag... i need my beauty sleep~

Well, the flight to Milan was fun! Went sightseeing in Venice (more pictures of that later), colleagues are all very onz... Truly the Shopping/sightseeing queens!!

First stop!!! FOOD~~
moi having "Spaghetti e vongole" at one of the cosy Italian restaurant....
Next stop?
SHOPPINGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came across this beautiful Cathedral smacked right in the centre of townMilan is truly the fashion capital of Italy...everywhere you go, you are bound to see people carrying Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and blah blah blah. And their dressings are so chic and classy! People wearing fur coats are plentiful (even though i support anti-fur!! Do you know that millions of animals are killed for their fur!!!! totally disgusting)

Walked past my favourite store....Droolz~
Didnt get any Louis Vuitton stuff this time...

Instead moi bought GUCCI, Made in Italy!!!!
How could people come to Italy and not buy any Gucci stuff??
My shopping kakis!!! Yesh, every single one of us bought at least an item from Gucci..
The Italians should thank us for contributing to the economy of Italy.... but we are nothing compare to our Japanese counterparts.... They really buy tons and tons of Gucci and LV stuff!!!
The Cathedral at night fall....doesnt it look grand?
Dinnertime....
Had "Marinara" this time
Upon reaching the hotel, moi immediately took out my new bag...
Its a NEW YEAR! so i need a NEW Bag!! and it's a present to reward myself for all the hard work i've put in for the past year..
I just love the feel and smell of new bag! moi felt in love with the bag the moment i saw it!!
And it helps that the straps come in PINK!! and there's this beautiful butterfly charm hanging on the strap..
my heart was totally sold!
Cost of the bag? 540euros (S$1080)
Yupz, burned a big hole in my pocket but the feeling?
PRICELESS

I really feel so good holding the bag....
Moi helped my fren to buy a Gucci bag as well....It was kinda rush and she can't really rem which model number it was... In the end, the model number that she gave moi was not the one she wanted...

Sheesh~ wrong bag... *SAD*
Oh well, what to do? Sighz...i felt so bad now...And it's like 500Euros(S$1000)!!!...

She said she doesnt really mind....BUT STILL~~
I mean i would be truly devasted if i wanted to buy like say, A model and instead had to settle for a B model.....

Soopin, really paiseh leh~
Actually the B model also quite nice leh....Seriously! i almost wanted to get the same model but a different colour....

So the rest of my Milan stay was spent eating pasta, risotto, pizza, pasta, risotto or pizza... No offences, I love Italian food.. But eating them for 4 consecutive days in a row, 3 meals a day...
i crave for CHINESE FOOD or anything not Italian!!!
So imagine my excitment when my colleagues said, "Let's go to a chinese restaurant!!"
happily walked all the way there to find out that, YESH, restaurant is manned by all Chinese staff BUT THEY SERVED ONLY ITALIAN FOOD!!!

URGHHHHHHHH

Felt so cheated... WHAT Chinese restaurant!!! I cant wait to go back to Singapore and have my bak ku teh or hokkien mee or Chinese rice or or or... *sighz*

Venice trip coming in the next post!
