Mia and I took the train to Milan during Fashion Week. It was such a fun time! It was one of those places that wasn't really on my high list (I don't know why, but I just pictured it to be industrial and very expensive). It is a beautiful place with lots of charm. We had a great time together exploring the city!!
 |
| The Cathedral - it took 582 years to complete! |
 |
| Around every corner is a cool painted building with an advertisement for some type of fashion designer - this one is Gucci |
 |
| We went up to the top of the Cathedral - such a pretty view of the square below! |
 |
| The front of the Cathedral |
 |
| Entrance to the Castle area and park |
 |
| A sign on the sidewalk advertising Fashion Week |
 |
| This was a display of fake merchandise - very interesting! |
 |
| They had decorated balls throughout the entire city |
 |
| Prada Advertisement |
 |
| Our fashion show claim to fame (we came upon it by accident - when we saw all of the paparazzi - this was just people waiting to go in... |
 |
| cool art work |
 |
| These are famous buildings with a vertical garden - again so interesting! |
 |
| Jewels |
 |
| Italian Flag colors on the Italian Ice Machines! :-) |
 |
| They had a China Town that we meandered through - it was cute! |
 |
| The castle grounds |
 |
| Shopping!! (although we just looked - way too high end for us!) |
 |
| I thought this was the funniest thing - it is a statue of a middle finger in front of their Stock Exchange Headquarters Building. The question is, is the middle finger going out to the 1% or is the 1% giving everyone else the middle finger - too funny! |
 |
| They have a wonderful subway system - so easy to figure out, even when your Italian isn't very good! |
 |
| Reminded me of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin |
 |
| The Gucci Building |
 |
| A closer look - so funny! |
 |
| The Starbucks "Reserve" - yes Starbucks has even made its way into Italy! |
 |
| Adorable Trolley cars |
 |
| We saw lots of paparazzi around and about! |
 |
| This was the fashion show that we accidentally found - it is an Italian Designer named Alberta Ferretti |
 |
| Inside the Cathedral |
 |
| The train station is beautiful! |
 |
 |
| Paparazzi |
 |
| Another beautiful Church |
 |
| Dior had samples of their new fragrance! Such a fun time!! |
