...are extremely boring!!!

I CANNOT believe that ALL the shops (except restaurants) are closed today!

I know it's Sunday and it's Europe but I was in Milan last Sunday

and the shops at Duomo were all opened!

Allow at least some shopping in tourist areas??

I'm killing for some Zara now but I've to wait till we return on Friday :(

Taking a break from all the Italy pictures,

here are a few outfits to share!

Flight outfit.

Been looking for a cape in nude for the longest time!

I regret not buying more of these chiffon blouses in China!

What's Italy without some Prada? ;)

The Space outlet in Montevarchi is only a 30 minutes train journey (return tickets at 10.40euro) from Florence, of course we had to go!

It was a reallyyyyy funny experience hahaha!

We did research online beforehand and the easiest way to get there is by taking a taxi outside the train station. When we got there, we saw a long line of Asians, but no cabs. We stood there waiting for a while then somewhere in the near distance, we saw groups of Koreans running in the same direction.

We KNEW they were going to the outlet 'cause only Asians would be this kiasu to go before opening hours and do things like this hahahhaha.

So we decided to run in the same direction.

Were we glad we did!!!

They were actually running for a bus which was supposed to depart at 10am, I think. The ENTIRE BUS was filled with Koreans, like in school days, going for an excursion, but in this case, to the Prada outlet! And the bus ride only costs 3euro for the both of us, the return ride was free 'cause the driver refused our money!

All our buys

Prices before tax:

Wallet - 195euro

Keyholder - 70euro

Cufflinks - 90euro

Canvas bags - From 200euro

Leather bags - From 400euro

Cute flats I didn't get 'cause they were all too big :(

I really liked the red ones :(

195euro for these!

They stock mostly Prada and a small section of Miu Miu but definitely worth going! :)

Firenze (Florence), Italy

Wednesday, 7 March 2012

I'm finally back in civilisation! Oh man, how I've missed my home and Singapore!!!! H and I left for his hometown right away after I came back from Rome/Florence/Pisa with Jasmine so I was away for 2 weeks straight. I mean, Italy was beautiful, and everything was cheap in China (gel nails for only $16!) but nowhere beats Home :)

Now, something about Italy!

Of all the cities I've visited in Italy (Milan, Rome, Florence, Pisa and Venice), Florence has to be my favourite! It's such a lovely little city and every attraction can be reached by foot. I hope to visit Capri Island soon 'cause I just realised that's the beautiful summer place locals go for the sun and sea!

Jasmine and I hopped on a train to Florence from Rome (Express, 1.5hr, 90euro return trip) and walked 10minutes to our Bed & Breakfast from the Santa Maria Novella train station.
