J'adore Chanel

Ciao everyone, today was a long and exhausting day, but it was fantastic! After breakfast we set out on an adventure to the Fiera di Senigallia (Senigallia Fair), this is a Milano traditional flea market with crafts, clothing, secondhand goods, and other random goods. And boy was it filled with random stuff, if you wanted to you can go to this market and buy a faucet for your kitchen sink, a seat for your toilet, a shower head, and almost every other fixture for your bathroom and kitchen. At this fair you can also either buy a bike or buy parts to build a bike…….WOW! I must say it was quite interesting, and definitely not what I’m use to in America.
After leaving the market we set sail to D Magazine, an outlet store, well that’s what we thought. It was an outlet but everything was still in 3 digits….I would say it’s a last season store with semi discounted prices. We continued our journey to the Duomo to do a little shopping, and we finally visited the Chanel store!! IT WAS AMAZING!! Not only was it amazing but the staff was super nice, even though we looked completely out of place. This was quite surprising because in the States we wouldn’t get the time of day in Chanel if we didn’t look the part. We also visited Hermes….ohhh how I love Hermes, and the store is wonderful. But I was a little disappointed there were no Birkins, guess I’ll just have to order mine.
Finally we attended Milano Gay Pride Event, super different from the events in the US, and super crowded. The parade was not like what I’m use to back home, instead of a parade of different floats and such, it was a parade of people, a ton of people. But like in the States there was a lot of pride in the air, and it was a great experience!
