ooo, i'm going to rome in August so can you tell me of some great places to get great prices on manolos?
 
in rome there is no way you can find manolo, manolo i buy it in the shop in old church street in london. you can find manolos from 10 corso como in milan but i don't know about the prices...i live in london as well as in rome so obviously i was nevered interested in the shop in milan.
regarding rome, i can give you tips about godd places to stroll in or to eat, but regarding shops i can only give you a few addresses, considering that my shopping is done mainly in london or online.

Thank you. I have some places I know i want to go to-i watch tv. what else do they have at braccialini and the store at piazza capranica. i may go to london so i would also appreciate some places there too.
 
i don't know if there is a special sample sale in london's manolo shop and i don't really care, i have such a crush on shoes that i love spending as much money as possible on them!!
in braccialini they only sell bags: they are very beautiful, strange shapes, bags that you don't commonly see around (the strangest ones costs around 700 euros). But if you really want to have great shopping, you have to go to london. To have at your feet all the designers without walking miles go to Harrods, the even have jimmy choo. Manolo is in old church street, and another nice shoe shop is french sole, they sell princess diana's favourite ballerinas and they are in 6 ellis street, near sloane square. There is even an online shop www.frenchsole.com
 
ShopRodeo, you must try the best pizza place ever when you're in Rome - Da Bafetto - really grumpy waiters (which I guess is charming) but the pizza is to die for. Adress, somewhere off Piazza del Fiore (please correct me Divina)
 
Patati I don't think I've ever been there... but actually the best pizza i ever ate was in Harrod's :shame:
Anyway, in Campo dei fiori there are many pubs and restaurants which are pretty and good so I think your advice is really good :amuse:
