Fashion week essentials


Walking home on Thursday morning along via Solari, it was the cluster of police who first caught my eye, but then I saw THEM...


The Fendi fans. How could I have forgotten?  It was fashion week in Milan.
The Fendi showroom is just a block, or two, from our apartment. Usually the footpath is empty and boring, but not this week.  
If I'd been wearing one of my collection of loud coats, or outrageously high pair of stilettos, or on-trend silver sneakers, I think I could have bluffed my way into the Fendi parade. 
Or if I'd thought to step into my maxi leather Fendi skirt, then I'm sure I would have bravely followed this model down the runway.  Sorry, roadway!
And if I owned a chihuahua or four, I would have popped them into my Fendi bag to bring along to the parade.
 But strangely, I wasn't wearing any of those items on Thursday morning, so I was relegated to mingling outside with my iPhone.
But next Fashion Week, I'll be more prepared. I'm on the look out for a big headband, starting now! 
I'm not totally convinced that I'll be joining the bare legs brigade. I think I'd need the temperature to have reached double digits at least, before I could contemplate that winter fashion trend. 
Luckily, I've got six months to plan my Fendi fashion mingling outfit. 
Wish me luck!

Sperando in più sole la prossima settimana!

    At least you will know what to wear when you get back to Australia.
    And Liv loved the coats and chihuahuas.

    There's always something happening on those Milano streets Jen. Love the chihuahua accessory! When my niece Orla was about 8 she wanted one so she could carry it around in her handbag!

      You will see many chihuahua accessories here, but 4 was a record.

    Awesome! I love the thick headband - I'm going to look out for something like that. Oh, and that yellow jacket - divine :)

      Thanks Jo. Headbands, hats and even crocheted bun holders from the 70s have been popular on the streets of Milan this winter. With the first signs of spring weather this week I'll see what other hair fashions start emerging.

    I have just discovered your blog and I am loving it! I am considering moving to Milan, and I so appreciate your candid opinions and photos. May I ask what apartment agency you used to help find your flat? Grazie e buone feste!

      Annalee, thank you for commenting. We love living in Milan as it is such as easy city with great public transport. However, rents are high. We found our apartment with the help of a lovely American woman who deals exclusively with expats. She has also helped some other friends. If you leave me another message with your email address I'll send you her details. Of course I won't publish your comment. Thanks again. jenny
