My favorite costume jewelry/accessories store here is Bijou Bridgette! It's like Clair's only the quality is much, much better and it's for women - not tweens, lol! It's just heavenly and EVERY TIME I go shopping I stop in here and things just 'pop' into my basket! These are the things I've purchased in the past two weeks or so...not just yesterday. I'm spoiled but not that spoiled!! (OK, maybe I am that spoiled!!)
The earrings are total bling - and I love 'em!
Another must-visit store is Kiko's. It's the most incredible makeup made in Milan. AND it's very affordable too!! The whole store is just so.....organized, and pretty, and color coordinated! It's hard not to squeal when you enter the shop!! I promise to bring my camera next time because you have to check out this store!!
The purse shop! There are naturally tons and tons of Italian leather goods shops here. But this is one that has gorgeous stuff I can actually afford! I've been drooling over this bag for about two months now and for one reason or another, I kept talking myself out of it. Isn't that just silly???
I alternately sniff the rich leather aroma, and then gaze at it with giddy pleasure!
The bottom of the picture is actually the zippered section where you can put your loose change, etc. It smells just as wonderful as the purse, in case you were wondering, lol!!
We took a little break because neither of us had eaten that morning, so we had the cafe 'special' of juice, cappucino and a pastry. I had pink grapefruit juice and this delectable bit of pastry filled with vanilla AND chocolate cream. Totally decadent!!! And the cappucino.....talk about an awesome blast of energy in a little cup!! We were all perked up and ready for some more shopping!
AND THEN, we went to Emisfero to stock up on stocking stuffers (I found Hello Kitty purple and pink chocolate coins for Bella!!) and Italian treats for gift boxes. So. Much. Fun! I also got a package of the humongous green olives grown locally here and they were out of this world good!! I don't think I'll ever be able to eat the regular jar kind again!!!! I search out and try new foods every time I go there and I've yet to be disappointed. Italy just rocks!!!!!!
AND THEN, we went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. I had beef with broccoli and fried noodles with julienne veggies. Tons of awesome tasting food, dirt cheap! The Chinese food here doesn't look the same and it tastes better too! And everything is fresh, fresh, fresh! Afterwards I came home, oggled my goodies and then picked Bella up from school. *sigh* Such fun!
And I'm betting it won't be too very long before I do it again!!! :D
