Missing Milano

Im pretty sure that it's pretty obvious from my blog and to everyone who knows me, that I miss the great time I had in Milan. The only downfall there was not having my boyfriend around for long periods of time. But other than that I loved it there.

Last year this week I was busy cleaning and scrubbing my little apartment and getting ready for school, I loved this feeling of anticipation and excitement. So as a true Cancer zodiac sign I love reminiscing and I decided to post my favorite images from my time there, and to remember a great year. Kind of like a scrapbook :)

Apartment around this week a year ago after 5 trips to Ikea without a car, on a Metro :)

Marangoni party #1, first outing with the new friends (yet to learn their amazing ability to drink...a lot!!!)

No burgers in Milan, so we improvised McDonalds only better and no buns :)

Such a fun evening, new beginnings for some of us ;)

Christmas in Milan is amazing...too bad I won't see the NY one to compare

Decorating the tree is one of my favorite things in the world! I put Christmas music, pour myself a glass of wine and have pure fun!

Vintage fair was one of my favorite things in Milan, I tried not to miss it every last Sunday of the month.

Spring, we only went to this restaurant because of the amazing bloom it had on the rooftop

These ladies made my day, they look like a 50's postcard!
