Celebration at Restaurant Smaraldino

  Black spaghetti with Salmon with vodka. Doesn't look very nice but it was delicious!

After walking out from Rinascente sad and confused I was lucky my boyfriend catched me up and took me for dinner at restaurant Smaraldino. We it was out 9 months anniversary :)

Internet at home haven't been working very well lately and I've been bad updating the blog. However, lots of things are happening here in Italy. Not only the Italian goverment are going trough big changes after the president resign few days ago, I have also resign from my job for Givenchy at Rinascente. This weekend was my last days at work and it was with tears in my eyes I walked out of there on Sunday afternoon. To see my colleagues crying for me leaving was a awful but also a very beautiful sensation. I will be missed and I will miss them!

Working as a make up artist / beauty consultant / shop assistant might not be the right occupation for me but I must say that I have had the most amazing time while doing this job. I have learned a lot, I've grown and I have met fantastic people. Rinascente is the most dynamic working place I have ever worked in and I have had so much fun.

Thanks Givenchy for 18 amazing months!

Dinner with Veronica at Sans Egal Cafe Bistrot

Yesterday night I went for dinner with my D&G colleague Veronica. We thought of going for drinks and ape at Straff next to Rinascente but as they no longer had food served at 9pm when we got out from work we walked up to Brera, the old town in Milan, and had dinner there. Veronica choose a French restaurant called Sans Egal Cafe Bistrot but we both had pasta and it was really really good. And believe it or not but we sat outside eating...  the 9th November, incredible! :)

Now I am off to the gym for a Step class and then the plan is to go Christmas shopping the rest of the afternoon.

CAFÉ MILANO

Milano cafe is one of my favourite bars in Milan. It is a beautiful bar that offer a wide range of fresh food and delicious cocktails and you just pay 8euro, can not get better :) Tonight I went with Ilaria, Silvia, Valentina, their boyfriends and Chiara.

Hiding from the rain at KOKO

It is still raining heavily here in Milan but luckily we don't have any floodings on the streets. Tonight when I finished work I met up with Tamara and as Globe was overly full of people we went to a new place in the area called KOKO. I had a sandwich and a tea and Tamara this beautiful cake.

Now I gonna go to bed and I hope when I get up tomorrow morning that the rain has stopped!

Sunday tea

This is my sweet colleague Daniela that works for Colistar at Rinascente. Since many months we have been 'tea buddies' at our afternoon breaks. We have been bringing different kinds of teas from home and been drinking them together in the employee restaurant. Such a nice little tradition!

Saturday off

Below: The vegiterian lunch

I'm not used to have Saturdays off from work but I'm very happy when I do have them!

Yesterday I went to the gym in the morning for my favourite step class. Then I went home having breakfast with Luisa while watching the fabulous Dirty Dancing. Afterwards we got ready in 15 minutes and rushed into town to catch up with Luisa's friends to have lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in the centre. Very nice food!

In the afternoon I met up Torri and we went to Rozzano shopping centre to walk around. The alternatives of activities are quite restricted when it's raining heavily like it did yesterday. In the evening we just stayed in my place watching movies and drinking teas. 

Now I'm off to work!

Heavy rain

As the whole world seems to know it has been raining a lot here in Milan Friday and Saturday. Like I have said before, this is the country where it seems not be possible to rain normally, We have been having three months more and less without rain and suddenly everything comes at once.

Friday during the day I was out running around the rainy Milan the whole day having important meetings all over. In the evening I met my sweetie Steppy for a bagel and pancakes at California Bakery.

A little trip to Pavia

 Universita di Pavia

 The lake

 The famous bridge

 A big piazza...

 Rebound Bar!

Today's been a very long day, I got up at 6am, went to a meeting and was back home again at 11am. Then I went to the gym, came back home to have lunch and to get ready and then I left again to rush to the station to get the train to Pavia.

Spent the afternoon and evening walking around the cosy little streets of Pavia with my boyfriend and afterwards we had dinner at Rebound, a beautiful bar in the heart of Pavia.

So I've finally been to the little town I so long wanted to visit, seen it and done it. I got a feeling that it's very cosy around Christmas and nice in the summer so I hope to go back again!

Halloween dinner at Brickoven

I am not a big fan of halloween and I have never liked masquerades so instead of spending a fortune to go to a big halloween party yesterday evening my boyfriend and I decided to go for a nice dinner. We choose Brickoven in Via Marsala, a very famous pizzeria in the centre of Milan. The pizza was fantastic, the service very good but the place itself wasn't anything special. However the prices, slightly higher than normal pizzerias was worth it as the pizza was both lovely to look at and good to eat :)

Today it's bank holiday here in Italy but obviously I'm working anyway, time to go!
