I also was able to do some really great shopping, probably would have gone even more overboard had my fiancé (!) not been there to rein me back in. I did most of the shopping in Florence with a couple of nice added surprises in Capri. Also picked up a couple of jewelry in Greece, but most of it just costume!
Got to go to the flagship Aquazzura in Florence and it was unbelievably beautiful! Felt like I was shopping in a private store for Marie Antoinette.
The sale shoes that got away: needed half a size bigger and sadly they didn’t have.
Hermes also had the chaine d’ancre cuff bracelet I’ve been after! The store itself is also not to be a missed. It’s a former art academy from the 17th century and the ceiling still has the hand painted domes.
My very first purchase of the trip came before I even got to Florence in the Ferragamo in the Rome airport! I had a layover there from Dubrovnik to Florence and a couple of hours to kill, which is always dangerous. I had gone in search of cold medicine since I was coming down with something, and got a little distracted along the way. Ended up getting the same mini Vara bag I have in black, in nude. Already used it a few times on the trip.
Also paid a visit to the flagship Ferragamo in Florence (also not to be missed) and picked up these shoes!
I didn’t realize the extent of the great shopping on Capri, so I couldn’t resist picking up this very versatile black Missoni dress and tricolor Prada card holder for my new business cards! (Will post of a pic of that later, can’t find it in Prada website and it is still boxed up in my suitcase somewhere).
Picked up this little Gucci marmont for my sister
And here are the things I desperately wanted but held out on!
Dior has come out with a new color in its permanent collection for the LD! Can’t remember the name right now but thinking this will be my next bag! Will have to be stingy and save up for a while after the expenses of these last few months though.
The Prada Galleria in medium size in this special aquamarine color only available in Italy. My fiancé saw me looking at it longingly and holding it and was like NO. Much needed reality check right there [emoji28]
This gorgeous white Missoni dress (on sale!) but I had already bought the black one, which would be a lot more useful for me, so I restrained myself. Plus it was a tad itchy around the neck.
