A Very Special Gift

Last weekend was the September long weekend and, to be honest, I didn't do much asides from the usual.  However, I did do a couple of things.  On Friday night I went to visit and spend a quite night in with my boyfriend.  Little did I know he had a belated birthday present waiting for me in his house.... and such an amazing gift as well! I was in genuine disbelief when I saw the wrapping entitled..................... "Alexander McQueen"!!!  He ended up getting me the silk chiffon Alexander Mcqueen skull scarf...aaaah!  I am so grateful to my boyfriend for being incredibly generous and generally amazing! My life is complete.

Thank you again Lixi!!!! :D

On the Monday night I got a chance to wear it in public for the first time as I went to a dinner with a couple of close friends :) We went to a Korean/Japanese restaurant near town and ate very very well.. mmmm :) I will leave you with a coupe of pictures of my outfit (not terribly exciting) and then some photos of what we ate at the restaurant :) Ciao!

It's my birthday today so to celebrate I went out for dinner and some drinks with the girls last night and spent today with the boyf.  Here are some photos of presents i recieved and just general new things I haven't showed you yet! Enjoy!

Italy, part III

Florence, Italy

Florence was by far my favourite city of the whole trip! I think it's underrated; It's amazing.  I would definitely go again.  The shopping, the architecture, the history and of course: the artwork!  Expect to see a lot of Gucci, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana wherever you go!  So before even thinking about going to Italy for shopping, make sure you have lots o fmoney saved up because nothing comes cheap.

Here are some highligths of our 2 day trip to Florence.

H&M top, Topshop skirt, boutique handbag, and pearl earrings.

Italy, part II

Milan, Italy

So the next stop was Milan.  I had never been there before so I was very excited to go and see the fashion capital of the world for the first time!  It did not dissapoint.  To be honest, I guess if you're a straight guy, there is not much to see here.  For the others, it's pretty much heaven!  We saw the Duomo (Dome) first and that was mind-blowing... then it was time to hit the shops :)
We were only there for a day so we didn't see everything there was to see (sadly) but I bought a lovely pair of Miss Sixty cowboy boots whilst my mum bought herself a 1a Classe coin purse. I don't have photos of them just now but I'll be taking photos of them soon with my outfits so you'll see them soon enough ;)

Just on top of the dome...

Top is from New Look, shorts and pumps from Topshop, bag from a local boutique.

                                    Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci...and MacDonalds.

                            Believe it or not, an Armani hotel..... a bit extreme but you know, if that's your thing...
