Alice From Italy said:I can tell you about Italy!
1) you're right D&G is very very popular, especially but not only for jeans;
Yep, I saw this too
2) in Italy it's not possible to smoke in restaurants, bar, etc since one year more or less;
That I did not realize!
3) yes we use a lot of scarfs!! Do you know "pashmina"? That kind of scarf is very popular;
And I love scarves - especially the silk ones from Venice
4) I think Gucci's outlet is near Florence, not Milan;
Not sure myself; I could be wrong!
5) I noticed that Milan, Bologna and Venice have very different styles. I live near Treviso that's a rich city not far from Venice and here it's very popular to wear D&G or Diesel jeans, Gucci accessories (shoes, bags, belts etc) and Vuitton (less than Gucci and only handbags or wallets, only Monogram Canvas, never saw a Vernis o MC, just twice a jeans);
I was mainly in Venice, maybe it is because of so many tourists, but I saw a lot of D & G, (hey, I adore Paola & Chiara's music!!! and they are fans of D & G), and Gucci, above all. And also Puma!
7) yes we love the sun, sunbathing is a must in summer, people is very careful to the damages of the sun now but in the past people used to take sun without any protection! And you're right a looot of woman smokes, also when they are pregnant or with small babies and I HATE this!!!
I just bought some sun lotion from La Roche Posay in 55 + (Anthelios) that I used in Europe...great stuff if you are oily and want a gel..otherwise, get the Anthelios Lait 45+.......) but I was surprised to see someone pregnant smoking.
Dang, I adore Europe and the ladies who are so fashionable...so please, feel free to "fill me in!!!"
Hey, thank you for correcting me and giving new info. Mercie et grazie molto!!!!! And I am so glad I didn't offend you. I never meant to!
