Big Buffet and Concert in Milan

A few days ago I went to a concert of an Italian band in Milan, with a couple of friends.
We live near Milan, so it took us just an hour to get there. As it was 19 o' clock (more or less), we went to a bar for a aperitif. The place was called "Sand" and it was very cool, it had soft black leather sofas and mirrors all over the walls, light was suffused and they played lounge music.
We ordered our drinks. I got one named Sand (as the place) that was so good, it tasted like pineapple, banana and orange; and my friends had another one but I can't remember what it was.
But what is a happy hour without a buffet? Let me tell you it was magnificent! We plunged into the sea of food on the table decked for the occasion: different types of pasta, tortellini with cream and ham, lasagna, couscous, fresh sliced bread and several sauces to put on, cheese, pizza, focaccia bread, croquettes......oh, how I love aperitifs buffets! I always gorge a lot on!

   
 
 
The concert was at Alcatraz, a famous gigantic disco in the city. There was a neverending queue and we nearly thought that we would never have entered. The show lasted an hour and a half, we sang all the songs at the top of our lungs. It was amazing, it seemed to have stepped back in time.
Disco music started at the end of the show. The event was dedicated to the Nineties so the dj played all the dance songs from that period. It was a lot of fun.
 
Unfortunately we had to go back home as the fog had descended, and even though we're not that far from Milan, we would have taken twice the time.
We ended the night eating marshmallows in the car. I love marshmallows!
What an amazing time!

Shoes & Bags

Image
A couple of months ago I got a pair of shoes and two bags. I normally tend to substitute my old shoes for new ones when they are too old, I don't wear them anymore, or they are completely "destroyed".   Here they are! I think they're super cool, they are grey with a colored pattern on the back. They're pretty simple but I like them. Then I got two bags.   The first one is this black and white handbag with no shoulder strap. I think it's simple but classy.     And then I got this super cute flowery bag with a chain shoulder strap. Love it! They're not big bags at all, they're pretty small, you can't put whatever you want in it, but I'll use them for going out at night I think.   That's it for now!    Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Ballerinas and little black bag

Image
Hey guys, I have another post about shoes and bags. Last month I got this super cute little black purse: It is a rigid one, it has a golden removable chain, in fact I can keep it in my hands by sticking my fingers into the thing that's on top (it looks like a little bow) that has two holes in it. It is small but I really love it. I think it is pretty elegant, I've already used it, even to a wedding! Then I got these new pair of flats They're super cute and super springy/summery. They're blue with tiny holes on them. That's the end of the short post! Until the next time, have a happy summer! Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Wine & Food Tasting

Image
Recently, I've been to a wine and food tasting with some friends. We drove for about 45 minutes heading to Bergamo to arrive at the restaurant where everything took place. The location was evocative due to the wintry landscape, the restaurant was surrounded by bare trees and there was also a little lake with a little fountain in the middle of it, and a mini jetty (I wondered who ever tried to sail that tiny body of water!).  The place was on a rise, the tiny street we walked through was full of greenery and other plants that would probably blossom in spring. I bet that place must be amazing during spring and summer because they organise wedding there too, so I tried to imagine everything was floral.     who has the courage to get on that old boat?     First they took us on a wine cellar tour, and told the story of their family that produces wine since ages, and how they make it. Then, once we were all sat down in the hall, they served us five different types of win
