My best pal and worst all-time shopping co-conspirator, Josephine, has this buy manolo blahnik shoes theory that when zentai you go on a big shopping expedition, if you don’t buy something in the first shop you won’t find anything you like all day. Over the three or four continents that we have shopped in together, I have always found this to be true. You know right from shop one if you are in for a big, satisfying haul of top gear or a day of traipsing from one disappointment to another.
Anyway, the last time I was in Milan I had one really good clear stretch of time between fashion shows to do my smash-and-grab raid of the city’s wonderful shops – where they have stuff that never makes it outside Milan and is Manolo Blahnik Sedarby Leopard-Print d’Orsay cheaper than everywhere else and if you live in Australia you get the tax back, too.
Right from the start I had this niggling feeling it wasn’t going to be a charmed day. I was Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pump hot and bothered, spider man costume my bag was like a hod of bricks, people kept jostling me and I always seemed to miss the green pedestrian light. It just wasn’t adding up.
