Ciao, Ragazzi!

In these boots, you can describe me as:

Sexy

Tenacious

Effervescent

Vixen

Eccellente (it’s Italian…Google translate it!)



Mischievous

Adventurous

Delicious

Dangerous
Enigmatic

Naughty

 

  Rambunctious

  Over-the-top

eXotic

  Statuesque (I’m 5’11”…180.3cm in these boots)

  Intriguing

  Exuberant



My Maddies's never leave me at a loss for words...see ya on the next level,

Il Mercato Edition, Misterbianco: Tribeca, A Kenneth Cole Production –Mix Master

Ciao, a tutti!

I love the market (mercato –mare-cat-oh)! It is unlike anything you have ever experienced in Canada or the United States…it is not a flea market! It is an amalgamation of mom and pop-type businesses (often spanning several generations), centrally located, occurring one or more times a week.

Popular throughout European nations, il mercato is the predecessor to the modern commercial centers (malls); from clothing and electronics, to groceries and antiques, it is an inexpensive alternative to buying everything you could possibly need. Today, my shoes are heading to Misterbianco.

First stop at the market, nail polish. At 1€ a piece, you can’t go wrong…my only dilemma now is what color to buy?


 
You already know I love shoes… and bags!  Platform peep-toe wedges?Oversized handbags?I’m beginning to see a theme here!





































Next stop, produce. I think I’ll get a little something to match my shoes…these eggplants should do nicely!

I always had ambitions of making my own clothes, unfortunately the talent did not follow, but I know good fabric when I see it…especially at a good price! So if I have to fight for it, I shall!


  
Lastly, three things every girl needs:


First, accessories!  





 Second, deodorant!
 



And third, a bra! But not necessarily in that order!

 















                                                                                    





Seven days a week, I can find a market to shop!  Lovely! 






Baci a tutti!

Moda Spana –Golly

Ciao!

Ever had a day where you just felt like blah? I woke up today feeling just like that. About 6:35 this morning, I felt like getting back into bed, calling it a day and trying it all again tomorrow! I needed a problem-free day!

 

 

Problem: I wanted to wear a dress, but didn’t feel like shaving my legs.

Solution:  Full length t-shirt dress. þ

Problem:  I didn’t feel like combing my hair.

Solution:  Trendy hat.[1]  þ

Problem:  Temperature when leaving the house: 52 (11) degrees.  Temperature high today: 67 (19) degrees. (Where did all the hot weather go?)

Solution:  Leather Moto Jacket I thrifted[2] on vacay.[3] (€20) þ

Problem: The few extra pounds I gained on my cruise (gotta hide my pot belly)

Solution:  Low slung trendy belt.[4] þ

Problem: I felt like wearing sandals, but didn’t want to deal with the “Aren’t you cold?” (I’m Canadian, 67 degrees is summer!)[5]

Solution:  Sandals disguised as shoes with oxford-type lacing þ

Problem:  A purse to go with my shoes (while I don’t really do the ‘matchy’ thing, yes, I do like to match).

Solution:  Oversized trendy purse.[6] þ

I love problem free days…how about you?

Baci!

[5] Some summer days are only 67 degrees Fahrenheit, not all!

Buonasera!

For our last night on the boat, can you guess what we’re doing for a little fun?

Oops, I forgot one more thing:

þ Gambling…come on now, the name of my shoes is Cashy, could I be any luckier? Ka-ching!

While I head to the casino to flashy some cashy[*], I shall leave you with the vistas in the corridors which have delighted me this past week…
