Last week I did get to see one of my best friends, Christina, who came all the way from Victoria to visit ME! Or so I like to think :) I would tell 99% of you to avoid Milano if you come to Italy for just a short vacation, but for her it was perfect. We knocked off the touristy things (the Duomo and the Castello) in a couple of hours and then spent the rest of the time checking out some amazing shops. Only come to Milano if you like to shop. Or if you just desperately miss me. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos because I was more like a "tourist in my own hometown." Fail. So let's start pressuring Christina to post them! Which reminds me that I never saw all of the pictures from someone's trip to Venice... Chica! Anyway, if you could both get on with posting photos then I could at least steal them and add them to my blog.
But back to my life of studying. My school has been very silly, and has planned our exam week right alongside Milan Fashion Week. Another fail. This means that while I'd like to loiter outside all of the shows checking out the street style, I'm stuck inside working on papers, presentations, and exam notes.
But my school has redeemed itself by being able to provide some exciting opportunities during fashion week. Tomorrow morning, and tomorrow evening, I'm working as a dresser at two different fashion shows. On Sunday morning I'm going to an fashion show for a brand that I have fallen in love with since I moved here. And on Tuesday, the MAJOR event of the week, I've been selected to work backstage for a MAJOR designer as a dresser for three private presentations that they're doing. Names have all been removed in an effort to create some suspense, hence the teaser title. I'll *hopefully* take lots of photos, and write lots of posts about the shows So, stay tuned!
In the meantime, I'll leave you with a photo of a little piece of heaven. Also known as Italian breakfast.
