On Saturday 9/24 I went to Milan for the day to experience Fashion Week.
The whole day was a little choatic & unorganized but nonetheless I had a good time!
The first stop of the day was at the Milan Duomo. I think this is the most beautiful church I have ever seen. And it's HUGE! It's the 4th biggest church in the world (The Duomo in Florence is the 6th). I love the Gothic style.
The only downside to the church was that we didn't know we would be able to go inside of it & we weren't dressed properly (In Italy you have to have both your shoulders & knees covered to enter a church). A bunch of girls had to wait outside (since we were on a tour) for about a half an hour until the rest of the group was done looking inside.
Just after the church we walked around the Galleria which supposedly is the oldest mall in the world. It was gorgeous with glass ceilings and stores way out of my price range.
Afterward we had some free time & lunch. And guess where we had lunch at? Some fabulous pasta restaurant? A delicious pizzeria? No...... McDonalds. I know. It's terrible. But seriously everywhere we went was packed. Even McDonalds was! But we had no other choice. The menu is pretty different then in the states. I tried to get a photo..
I just ordered chicken nuggets & french fries. It was disappointing that we didn't have a better meal while in Milan but we were crunched for time and every restaurant had a long wait.
After our FABULOUS lunch we were able to attend a fashion show. Which was AMAZING!! I have never been to one before and I loved the designs of the show we saw. It was in a tent and the designer was Nenette.
As you can see the designs were very feminine, floral and flowy. I loved them, definitely something I would wear.
I tried to get a video..
After the show we walked around the fashion district and saw all the major fashion houses like Gucci, Prada, Miu Miu, Chanel. Seriously every high end designer you can think of.
After that we took the 4 hour bus ride home. All in all it was a good day.
A few more things I liked about Milan..
Elephants must be the city's symbol because there were statues of elephants ALL over the city.
Also, there were cute dogs EVERYWHERE & dogs in Italy can go anywhere a human can!! Restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, you name it.
I took a picture of these 2 specifically because they looked the most like Howie :)
Thanks for reading :)
