So after my visit to Paris, i went naturally to

Milan

When it comes to talk about fashion, some cities are must-see. Of course, there is Paris.... But Milan is another one ! This italian town is the 4th urban arrea in Europe and the industrial and commercial heart of Italy. Prada, Armani, Versace... so prestigious names all coming from Milan !
Fashionshows are running all along the year and what a beautiful decor Milan is, with its numerous beautiful historical buildings.

Milan-Entrance

So I started my visit from the entrance next to Paris sim.

For the occasion I am wearing the beautiful Lolita dress I bought in Paris at Gizza store. I love the movement given on the skirt part. The color is really sweet and it comes with leggins and heels you may wear or not, depending on the weather of the day. The dress is sleeveless and comes with a beautiful flower you may add on the hip.

Milan-Restaurant

Milan sim has been built by MaximilianIII Massenberg and it's a beautiful indoor commercial gallery all covered by a glass roof.

The sim is sponsored by Sage Couture.

When you arrive from Paris, right at the entrance you find the restaurant. Hey, yes, it's Italy ! You can't imagine an italian place without restaurant. It's part of their culture and it's a one of the places where italians meet. Ever seen a movie from Fellini ? Watch Fellini Roma and you will understand what I mean.

Milan- Pinacoteca di Margherita

Right in front the ristorante, you will find the Pinacoteca di Margherita. A pinacoteca is somewhat like a musem, it's a room displaying a collection of pictural artworks. You may find some mainly in Italia and Germany.

So i took this opportunity to rest a bit and admire the paints hanging on the walls.

The whole building is designed like a cross with a big fountain in the center.

Right after the pinacoteca, you may shop in :

I stopped by Eclectica and bought a gorgeous necklace in purple, that i will show in a future post.

Here again, i left myself tempted by a hair wreath at Mystic sky. This one will be displayed in the next post.

Around the fountain you may shop at :

Masoom

As i needed shoes (yeah, girls always need shoes !) I stopped by Essenz shop and bought a stunning pair of shoes you will also see in the next post.

Then i also bought a stunning gown at Masoom.

Note that all the purchases are done on official FFL vendors, thus all my money is going to RFL : i feel less guilty to keep filling my inventory already really huge lol.

Milan-fountain

I had to say hello to the big statue in the fountain of course. And as i bought this great set of "Elf" pose in Paris, it was really fun !

And it's also a great opportunity to show the movement of the skirt i was talking earlier.
