BETWEEN ART AND FASHION IN FLORENCE

My best friend says I'm crazy and probably she's right :-) I am obsessed with Yves Saint Laurent and his art work, especially Mondrian dress which was also main subject of my thesis. 

In my obsession I was only dreaming of seeing Mondrian dress in MET in New York one day until I read about the exhibition taking place in Florence that I wrote about HERE

The day of my trip to Florence finaly came and I saw the masterpiece...

 It's incredible how Yves Saint Laurent got inspired by Mondrian's painting and created magnificient haute couture dress.

The exhibition takes place in Salvatore Ferragamo museum in Florence (Piazza di Santa Trinita 5), so there were also most famous shoes made by Ferragamo and those beauties:

Marylin Monroe:

Audrey Hepburn:

Beautiful. Just beautiful. 

It's open until 7th April 2017 so something tells me I'll visit it again :-)

Tickets 7€, but for it's worth paying even 100€ :-)

IN LOVE WITH PANINI TOSCANI

Panini Toscani (Piazza del Duomo 34, Florence) is number one according to TripAdvisor so I decided to check if it's gonna be also my number one... There's always a lot of people waiting so I was hoping it must be worth it. 

Big plus for letting my try the ingredients first and then pick which I wanted to have inside my sandwich. Prosciutto and pecorino toscano cheese were my choice. Great choice as it turned out! :-) 

Well, since we're in Tuscany, I couldn't say "No!" to amazing glass of red wine...

Does it deserve to be number one? Defenietly YES! Great atmosphere and most importantly: fantastic, good quality sandwich worth waiting! Even the prices are fine since we're in the centre of Florence.., 10€ for sandwich and wine. 

I will surely go back there to try new tastes! :-)

BIG DOSE OF RICE

Sushi again! It's my favourite choice for cheat meal (or more often :D ) so, of course, this is what I had when we went to visit our friends in Milan. We found a small place called Ifukazan (Trip Advisor: Sushi Milano) that turned out to be a paradise!  For 10,80 euro we could have had as much as we wanted, so... what we did? Yes, we just thought "let's order everything!" and so we did. Our next thought was "let's eat eveytging!" and our last thought was "let's not move for next few days!".

The sushi was great! I was extremly happy having that much, delicious food.

Unfortunately, I took photos only of tiny part of our order because my friends started to eat before I yelled "don't you dare eating! I need a photo!". I didn't take photos of soups, starters and some other colorful stuff :-)

What else? Nice, clean place located not in the centre of Milan but worth taking metro :-) Good service, good price (10 euro was a price only for lunch!). I hope to go there again when I'm in Milan.

Beginning...

So... I made it, I'm here. I'm finally here! :-) and the beautiful blue sky, sun that shines sooo bright and some kind of strange sound made by even stranger animal say "welcome to Italy, Asia!"
It's just my first day in Parma but I've already got myself a pair of fantastic shoes. I enjoyed short walk that I took to get them (official version: to see my area) and although I still feel like I'm here again only for short vacation, I'm falling in love with that city that has so much to offer. Everybdy knows about great foods made in Parma- parmigiano reggiano and prosciutto crudo to mention  the most famous ones, also amazing Duomo di Parma, parcs that seem to be perfect for long walks or jogging... But I feel that's there's much (much!) more than delicious food and stuff that we read about in guidebooks. I know that here I'm going to find my place in this world. At least for a while ;-)
What's my next move? Hmm... let's start with finding an idea for an awesome dinner for me and my boyfriend :-) and then let's just let it all be... let's continue the beautiful, full of crazy happiness journey that life is and let's keep it awesome as it indeed is!
