The last photo is the only photo I have of the European section, was so tired after that. We browsed around quickly and then headed back to mine.

I go home in 5 days!! Also I'm getting an early Christmas present tomorrow - can't wait to show you guys!

L'artigiano at Rho Fiera

14 December 2011

Last Saturday my boyfriend and I went to L'artigiano, just a bit outside of Milano. My flatmate recommended that we go, after excitedly showing me all the meat he had brought from there. He said it wasn't just food there was clothes and other items. My boyfriend and I figured it would be a good idea and something to look around - little did we know we would basically end up getting Christmas gifts from people!

L'artigiano is basically a huge fair with the focus on clothes, food and other stuff (lol no idea what to call it), and was held in an exhibition centre. If you've ever been to Earls Court you'll get the idea of how big it is. It was four huge exhibition rooms, the focus was mainly on Italy, so it was split into different parts like Sicily, Lombardy etc. Then there was Europe attached to it. Italy and Europe took up three rooms and the last was the continents of Africa, Asia and South America. That's the one we visited first and we actually just fell in love and that's were all our gifts were from. 

We bought loads there, ate Tibetan food and then lost all out energy but still went round to Italy and Europe, they weren't as exciting but certainly offered loads of food tasting!!

I have pictures anyway, well half, haven't finished editing the rest with exams going on!! This is the 'countries of the world' which is basically Africa, Asia & South America.






















More pictures to come soon. I have two phone interviews tomorrow - strangely I'm quite excited about them as opposed to nervous!!

Shopping in Milan

18 October 2011

I haven't been impressed with the shopping in Milan if I'm 100% honest. I really want to find cute unique stuff to Milan but mostly I've shopping in h&m and Bershka and this one other little store near the Duomo. I've never been a fan of Bershka back home but the one here is huge and actually has quite a lot of nice things!!
To make up for the lack of shopping I have been eating Italian food a lot - so I don't feel bad that I haven't got any clothes!! Seriously the food here is just so wonderful. Thoroughly enjoying the food :)
Anyway I have pictures of all the clothes and accessories I've bought since I've been here and it really isn't much at all!!

 I really love this skirt but the small is too small and the medium is too big! I tried returning it but I can only do an exchange :( Need to find something I want tomorrow, as I'll be in London for 3 weeks and my 1 month exchange policy will run out!!
So gutted as I really wanted this skirt and it was only €20!




I love with this dress that I got from h&m. €40! Sad though as some beads have fallen off as you can see on the left! It's such a lovely colour though.


 I got each of these in the h&m sale for €7.

 My friend I found this junk store in china town which just had the most random stuff including these €3 Lolita style sunglasses!
 Earrings from the store near Duomo - €3.

 I got these in a cute store in Bellagio, Lake Como €16, two of the stones have fallen out though! I love my little froggies though. 

 Still yet to wear these €3 I think.

Top from Bershka €15. 

I did buy a bag and my boyfriend bought me a pair of earrings which haven't been shown but apart from that, this is all I've bought!!
I'm off to London on Thursday and I think I may go a bit shopping crazy there! Cannot wait to see my friends and my boyfriend :)

Milano pt 4.

4 September 2011

The final batch of pictures I took in my first week.
I had such a lovely day yesterday, went around to post flyers for the spare bed in the room then met one of their friends and went to McDonalds. McDonalds here is so expensive it's unreal so that's a good deterrent for me! 
















I've got to do so much today. Yes on a Sunday! I'm making myself lunch then hopping in the shower and hopefully shopping for some more essentials before I begin my writing tasks.
I hope everyone has had a good weekend.
