WOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!!!! ..after all aren't Italians worldwide famous for "spaghetti, pizza, &..mafia?", ha ha!
270 km and a 2 hours' drive later we got into the famous Piazza Duomo, where the Cathedral has been obscured by a majestic tree and a temporary Tiffany jewellery for the delight of hordes of Japanese tourists ....................
...had a hot coffee in front of Ladurèe, still shut...........
...and headed towards la Rinascente, the Italian correspondant for Harrods and Selfridges..shame that it was even more expensive!
...We popped into the 1st Italian Gap store, which was opened a few days ago..pure cr*p :-)
...anyone for candy canes???
..Lady Gaga, who was holding 2 concerts, was in Armani...can you spot her??? 
...and finally we got into the boutique district ....aaaaaahhh...pure bliss!!!!!!!Via Monte Napoleone.............. 
...my favourite display was in Dolce&Gabbana, were the 2 clever men (mmh not sure about their virility:-) had paid a tribute to their beloved Sicily with Marzipan fruits and fico d'India........
..Via della Spiga....look at the themed lights!

...Here we risked to get frozen, after queueing up for more than 30 minutes in front of Moncler boutique :-) .....................
..Then we walked a little further until Porta Venezia for some last minute shopping....
..but didn't look like these at the end of our day..................
...and neither didn't need a car like this for carrying our shopping...............
..we took the underground until the car park, before the snow could block us in the land of sin and temptations...
........especially for my purse ;D

Hey, Italians are also well-known for their exquisite beauty, good taste in food, and fashion!!!
Those lights at Via della Spiga are SO CUTE!!!
Ha don't tell me that those bags were filled with Christmas ornaments again ;-)! I was in Milano about 25 years ago and at that time I loved the Fiorucci flagstore over there. Fiorucci hasn't got stores here anymore, but perhaps in Milano. Have a jolly good day!
Did you buy gifts for people or for yourself?? Gap Crap...LOL!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh what a wonderful trip you had in the exciting City. Loved seeing all those fabulous names and the shop displays.
Glad you went home with some bags of shopping.
Happy Advent

Thanks for taking me on that shopping trip through your photos - lovely! Our eldest daughter did a Uni year in Milan years again for her Italian course - we went and visited - great place! Bloomin' freezing here!!
What a wonderful visit you had - it all looks so exciting - glad to see you made some purchases in those lovely shops:)
How wonderful to have a shopping expedition to Milano, more expensive than the horse show day out I bet! I love the themed Christmas lights, so appropriate :)
What a great, fun filled day! Oh those shops, they look so very tempting! I wonder what little treasures are hiding in those big bags....
I love looking at all the store Christmas windows and it was fab getting to see ones in Milan.

Christmas shopping in Milan or sitting indoors in snowbound Scotland, one of us got the good deal there. I've only been to Milan once many years ago, I loved it all.
Boo!!...:o)
The car in question is a Hummer, we had one sent to our house for our sons wedding, by our daughter-in-law....How cool you look decked out for the big shop Michela!! I feel I've been to Italy again!!
