Every Tuesday morning there is an open-aired market called Le Cascine held about 10 minutes west of my apartment. We had heard really great things about it, so Ashley & I woke up early and headed to the market at 8. And I must say, the market was above & beyond my expectations. You could buy ANYTHING there & for REALLY cheap, & the market was so huge we only made it through half of it.
The first booths are the fruits & veggies so I picked up half a kilo of green beans & some strawberries, both were 1.50 euro. Then came the clothes, jewelry & shoes!! Most of the clothes were like ones you would see at a Salvation Army, you definitely had to search! But almost all were ONE EURO each, which definitely gave me motivation to try to find something really cool.... AND I DID :) For one euro I found a really thick mustard colored cardigan, SO similar to one I almost bought at J. Crew (and to think I was gonna pay 80 dollars for it)! In theory a mustard-colored anything is not so cute.. but I'm definitely excited to wear this for fall & accessorize it! I also found a really cute brown leather watch for 5 euros. I for sure will be attending this market weekly, every Tuesday morning!
Loafs of bread the size of my face
You could buy animals at the Market (see... I told you there was EVERYTHING here) I wanted the little puppies so badly!
The cute watch I paid only 5 euros for
And finally.. the ONE EURO mustard cardigan! I'm in love & can't wait for the weather to not be 90 degrees so I can wear this :)
Before heading home I picked up a cappuccino & pastry to eat on my walk back. This really was a PERFECT morning. Can't wait to go next week and search for more things :)
Ciao, Erica xo
