Ciao Italia

Scott and I were in Italy last week to visit the Lineapelle Industry Fair, which is the largest and most exciting trade show for footwear leather & components, held biannually in the  beautiful city of Bologna. Sadly I didn't get too many photos of our time in Bologna, as cameras are strictly out of bounds at the fair and mine managed to stay squashed at the bottom of my bag until we arrived in Milan a few days later. Despite the grey skies it was great to be back in Milan again, my second home, where we caught up with good friends and enjoyed a few aperitivi! It's is a wonderful city to explore - underrated in my opinion. It's urban and gritty, with graffiti strewn streets, a fantastic art scene and if you scratch the surface far enough you will find an inspiring modern metropolis pushed up against old world glam and many beautiful piazzas! As usual, I can't wait to go back. Baci x
