Via Della Spiga








Even the name itself is quintessentially posh: Via Della Spiga, certainly a favorite of mine in Milan.  On Sunday a couple of friends and I visited D&G's new multi-brand store for emerging designers, Spiga2.  As my photos reflect, it was quite typically D&G: the decor, the atmosphere, even the lighting.  I think it's an ideal setting for showcasing the collections of new designers, and I loved the café upstairs!

I was also able to capture a trend that I'm especially fond of at the moment: high socks showing above tall boots.  With a classic trench and Gucci bag paired perfectly with this look, I found this woman to be particularly chic.

Baci e a presto!

Brera Magic









I had forgotten the potential of fog in Milan until yesterday - it's incredible how prominent it is during the fall in this city.

Luckily I was able to capture a few great photographs around Brera, the most charming neighborhood here in Milan, in my opinion.

A few objectives for today: more photography, selecting a new perfume, and finding the best shirt dress to match these newly purchased pair of Calzedonia thigh high socks:


Have a wonderful weekend!

A presto,
Whitney
