Desparate housewife Milan edition

In Italy, I discovered many things about myself...One of the most important is that I Actually Can Cook!!! I do :)






Recently I cooked seafood and vegetables risotto, onion soup, vegetable and mushrooms soups, hamburgers and many different dishes I never knew Iwas capable of making...I am impressed with my own skills actually, and so is my mom, who was sure I will starve in Italy...:)






Also I discovered that although I don't like cleaning, but I like when it's clean...so I clean and wash and dust :))) And this photos perfectly reflect me balancing between my new fashionable school environment and home environment where I don't really need nice clothes but actually ones I can ruin without any worries...






Well, I told you before, I will come back to Corso Como 10 outlet, and I did, because no place that sells Alaia shoes for 150 euros should be left behind...






I believe that this is a wonderful start of a great "shopping" friendship, but I also got introduced to the manger, Stefano, by my new friend Keren who is just great! She helped me in this shopping frenzy, as I was grabbing every shoe in my reach and almost went nuts!!! So many goods!!! And so many shoes by Alaia (Who is a shoe genius in my opinion) and for cheap!!!





So I ended up buying a pair of Alaia shoes (for my brother's wedding, at least I have an excuse) and Alexander Mcqueen boots, both of them for mere 150 euro!!! Now I know what many will say...It's still a huge amount of money..and it is for me... I will probably will cut on every expense possible the next two weeks or so...:)






The dress I'm wearing is Helmut Lang...it is the dress I ordered from Net-a-Porter a while ago and it is one of the most versatile I own...The shoes are Aldo and the clutch is vintage Lanvin from "Stella Boutique"...

P.S: This is my kitchen with all the empty wine bottles we always forget to throw away, and there was actually a dish on the stove but my boyfriend was cooking it :)

Kisses!!!

After a short break that seems like an eternity for the blog world, I'm back with pictures of my new dress...I'm sorry...My new favorite dress...!!!

I bought it from Etsy.com and I just cannot believe my luck! It has every feature I was looking for in a sequined dress and it's one of the kind, because it's vintage and all the sequins are hand stitched !!! You cannot believe the amount of work someone put in this dress...Well now it is in a very appreciative hands!!! 

Me and the boyfriend decided that this dress requires a night photo shoot, although I can see how it is possible to make it more "day" appropriate with a grey cardi and a pair of flat boots... Maybe come fall I will show the toned down version of this dress, but right now it makes me feel festive and it sparkles!!!

The shoes are also a new buy from Aldo. I have to say that it's my first pair of heels from this brand and I'm impressed with how comfortable they are! 

On a bit different note, I'm building my fall wardrobe right now and I mysteriously find myself returning to one color: black! I want everything and anything in black... Sleek, smart, fitted, that's what I want come fall... Maybe this is the returning student in me talking, but yes I do need some smart clothes for my school... 

I remember when I did my first degree I was considered a bit too fancy looking for my college and I didn't even wear heels or something that I would consider "out there", so I hope this time I will get a chance to go crazy with my outfits!!!

Time is running out and I have this ticking clock inside my head telling me "So much to do, so little time" but somehow this just makes me to slow down and freeze instead of being productive...So I'm racing against the clock!

Dress: Vintage from Etsy.com, shoes: Aldo

Have a great week everyone!!!

And thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for taking pictures!!!
