Milan over Xmas… Shopping! // Milano a Natale… Shopping!

Published by

After 3 flights of 7hours each approximately, I finally landed in Milan! The fog’s smell at Malpensa airport was penetrating my nose. Something not definitely sexy, but dear as it smells like home, although you hardly see any fog in Milan anymore. The following day I was already with family having a pre-Xmas lunch also with my cousins from Torino. I was extremely happy, although fighting against a bad jet lag. The day continued with some shopping in Corso 22 Marzo, not far from home. I really needed to at least window shopping. What you can find in Milan is definitely different to anywhere else! There are some interesting rising Australian Designers, but then the most recognised fashion shop in Melbourne is Le Louvre which sell mostly designers from Italy, France and Europe! I was mainly after shoes and some jumpers and anything to renovate my future winter wardrobe. Because the time was limited, I didn’t do much shopping in Milan, and I’m not any fashion expert, but I’m feeling like sharing a couple of …

MOVEMBER?? A mistake or what?

MOVEMBER WHAT’s Movember? You’d think that maybe it’s a mispelling. But it’s not! I simply never heard of it! It’s a charity initiative only for men. And I hope no women are participating 😉 Basically men pay something like 20$ and they let their moustache grow for the whole month of November. The aim is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health. They for sure do it in the US, UK, Australia and probably other countries. I think it’s something different and I just like it. It’s sometimes strange to see people on TV with evident moustache and it’s even stranger to see people you know one day without moustache and the next day they completely different! Well it’s just hilarious! And for a good cause! ———- // ———- Leggi Movember e pensi: “avranno sbagliato a scrivere la parola”. E invece no! Movember e’ un’iniziativa divertente di beneficienza. E’ solo per uomini, o almeno spero non ci sia nessuna donna che vi partecipo! Infatti consiste nel …

Tacchi alti per non imbarcare / High Heels to save money

Stamattina presto avevo il volo per tornare a Melbourne da Sydney. Volavo Tiger Airways, una low-cost cinese, tipo Ryanair o Easyjet, che opera in Australia e verso altre destinazioni in Asia. Con prezzi competitivi e un po’ più permissiva rispetto a Ryan e Easyjet perché ti lascia portare a bordo 2 colli, per esempio un trolley e una borsetta, l’importante è che il peso totale sia pari a 10Kg. All’andata tutto in regola, forse un Kg in più che pero’ è stato tollerato, ma avendo comprato un libro e delle riviste al ritorno già superavo il limite. Soprattutto all’andata non mi avevano pesato la borsa. Colpa mia, non ero così sull’attenti come mio solito perché ero un po’ stanca. Comunque l’hostess di terra, che solamente dopo ho scoperto stesse facendo training a un’altra ragazza e per questo era così ligia, lucky day!, mi ha consigliato di vedere se riuscivo ad eliminare o a mettermi addosso qualcosa per evitare la multa di 70 AUSD$. Diciamo che è stata proattiva e molto collaborativa, e di questo la …
