Vuoge Fashion Night Out Milan 2012

One of the years biggest event, the vouge fashion night out in Milan. In the end it is nothing more than an evening where all the fancy shops in the center keeps open until 23.30 and organize events in the stores.

Many of the stores got live DJ´s and catering people walking around offering free snacks, drinks, champagne and other things. Some stores invites famous people and let people take pics with them and so on...

What I like the most with this night is that the town is full of people until very late and it is veryn nice, well dressed and elegant people around. I don't really know why but people dress up for just walking around in town like it would be gala show. As I love clothes and well dressed people this is the evening for me and I could just sit down watching people pass all evening....

I first popped by Rinascente to say hi to some ex colleagues. Then I met up with Matteo and his friends to have a walk around with them. And after that I cached up with my colleague "Mando" and we entered Tiffany´s and Cruciani and walked around until midnight or something.

Oh I wish they would have this kind of fashion nights more often!

Step Tone with Mario

Many gym classes has been changed in my gym but luckily enough the two most important gym days for me has remained the same.

Mondays with ballerina Debbie and Thursdays with the fitness instructor Mario.

Today I went back to my favorite Step tone class and I felt so happy. Now I will get back to my normal training routine and try to join this class every Thursday. It is a perfect mix of 30 min step aerobics and 30 min upper body pump. For me it is a great combination of training and on top of that the instructor is very nice, friendly but also motivational. Today he complained in front of the whole class that I lost too much weight during the summer and I got a bit fed up but until next week for sure I have forgotten it :)

Now it is time for the BIG night. The Vouge fashion night out in Milan.

Dinner at Arigatò Milano

I don't know if it is true but I have heard that you should not eat sushi if it is too warm outside as it brings risks eating the raw fish. Do you guys thinks it's true? However I haven't eaten sushi since beginning of June as since we have had very warm weather and I didn't wanna risk getting sick always having holiday/weekend plans in front of me.

Yesterday I finally got back eating sushi and I can say that I more and less catched up on the two month I have been without sushi for the amount of sushi I ate.

Arigatò is, I think, my favorite sushi restaurant in Milan. It is not cheap so it is not a place to visit weekly but for a little bit more luxury dinner out it is a great place. Stefii an I had a massive amount of sushi's and rolls and on top of that we also had a yammi dessert. A top evening in other words!

Body burn and sculpty

What a strange name of a fitness class, Body burn and sculpty. However, burn was the right word while I would had said tonification instead of sculpty.

As I thought it would had been like a body pump class I warmed up by myself in the gym running 20 minutes. I got up to the class already tired with the sweat dripping from my face.

The surprise I got was when entering the room was that the instructor was the one holding the crap dance course on Monday so at first I felt like walking out again but I didn't. And good that I didn't, as bad she was holding a dance class as good was she holding this body burn and sculpty. We exercised the whole body in a very efficient way and I felt more that satisfied getting out of the gym. A proper one hour total body class toning up your body.

Now I am off for dinner with Stefania, I am very much looking forward to see her and I am also very very much looking forward to eat lots :)

Aperitivo at Scalo Farini

A catch up with my ex colleagues/friends at a place I had never been to before, Scalo Farini. The weather was nice so we sat outside at the terrace, had a drink and some food from the buffet. Quite nice but slightly unhealthy things to eat. Very nice evening.

Disappointing start of the dancing season

I have been looking forward the season start of my dancing course since it finished in July and yesterday was the big day... Such massive disappointment when arriving and the usual ballerina teacher was not there. Instead we had a overly energetic blond little girl that hold a dance course more similar to a super simple"friskis & svettis-course"  (pensioner aerobics). It felt like we did one hour of dancing warm up instead of a dancing course.

Luckily I went running for 20 minutes before the course and I did some weights and abbs afterwards so at least I did work out a bit but I walked home so disappointed.

For dinner I made myself a "peperonata" which got very nice, at least something good...

Sunday brunch at California Bakery

I miss my London brunches! The brunches I used to do more and less every weekend during my years in London that I haven't done at all since I came to Milan.

But today Matteo invited me to California bakery in the Tortona area and we enjoyed loads of typical brunch food - in other words lots of unhealthy stuff :) However it was very nice!

Sunday morning study

As I have got new responsibilities at work and I know there will be more to come I feel that it is time for me to really get serious with my accounting studies in my free time. I don't only want to learn the procedures how to do things at work but I also wanna understand what I am actually doing as my tiny little work input is part of something very big and important.

So this morning I put the alarm at 10 am, I got myself a cup of team and I sat down 1,5 hour with my old university books. My objective is to study 1-2 hours a week, it is not a lot, so I hope I will keep up with that until Christmas...

Now I am starving and I gonna get ready for a brunch out with Matteo.

Baby afternoon

My sweet friend Valentina had a baby two weeks ago and this afternoon Marcello and I went to see her, her fiancée and the little Francesco. I don't think I have ever seen such small baby in my life, he's only 15 days very tiny but so so so cute and sweet :)

Friday with the girls

Friday evening and it was raining like crazy again. I really wanted to go out dancing with Steppy and Sarah but I was so tired after the long working weak and the weather didn´t really help so I decided not to go.

But as I wanted to hang out with my friends for a while anyway I went to Steppy for some wine and girl talk. At midnight when the young girls (Steppy and Sarah) went out dancing the old girl (me) went home to sleep :) ...and I slept until 11.50 am this morning. I guess I was tired...
