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!!!

Wandering around the cemetery

There is so much to explore in Milan. And one of the most known places is the cemetery, which looks like a small city actually. Full of old graves with dramatical scenes and characters carved from the stones, it is impressive and fascinating place.

And very beautiful....

So I had to take pictures...:)








But our trip didn't end here...We decided to go to the Corso Como 10, mostly because I wanted to introduce this place to my boyfriend. Corso Como 10, is one of the most known shopping places in Milan, packed with designer clothing and books about art and fashion, it is every fashionista's destination...








But on our way there, we found even more precious gem: Corso Como 10 outlet...from the yard entrance you could see dozens of designers shoes...And I still can't explain why I didn't take those Marni wedges home...for mere 70 euros... I mean Zara carries shoes at those prices!!!







Anyway, the outlet was packed with many many goods and I am sure I will go back to check it more closely, because well...my boy has zero tolerance for designer shopping (especially outlet shopping), so we left...








Eventually I did buy something at Corso Como 10: a book about Chanel and her Atelier...so I didn't left empty handed...:)












So this has been my day so far...we're planning to go out to dinner tonight: somewhere nice, and tomorrow, we'll be wandering around somewhere else... :)


Blouse: Vintage YSL, Skirt+trench: Zara, shoes: Mango, Bag; Max Mara
P.S: A big thank you to my boyfriend who is not only agrees to photograph me but also made a guest appearance again! :)))

Kisses!!!
