>> Luisaviaroma organised a special event over last weekend titled Firenze4Ever, basically a personal style blogger's dream where they got to dress up in the A/W 10-11 collections and take beautiful pics all over Florence - 40 bloggers went and I'm sure you've been seeing the fruits of that weekend of 'labour'. Cue a ton of those much-loved bloggerisms.
Sadly I wasn't able to come and coming to Pitti to cover the shows there ended up being knackering enough so sadly, my opportunities of prancing around Florence in fancy outfits were very much dwindled. In between rushing back to the hotel to get a decent wi-fi connection, getting to events on time as well as my being the sort of militant person that thinks "We must check out EVERYTHING!", outfit bloggersims were a bit of an afterthought...
Still, it is Itty Bitty Pitti afterall... so we have the outfit I wore for the Haider Ackermann show. Imran of BoF commented that he had never seen me in so little colour. That may be true but put me in a colourful rainbow box and you might just see me breaking out into the unthinkable...monochrome! This outfit is really all about the beautiful Roberta Furlanetto gazar balloon trench from the S/S 09 collection where the fabric has a life of its own due to its crisp, slightly wiry surface. I put this on and feel like I distinctly SHOULDN'T be putting anything else on with it...

For the Jil Sander show, Steve and I did the unthUNKable and accidentally wore matching outfits. Well it wasn't so much an accident as baggage malfunction where I had run out of things to wear because I packed extra lite and clothes kept getting rain soaked and err... pasta sauce covered. It's nausea-inducing to say that you think your boyfriend has on a swell outfit... well I'll take the chance and make you puke a little... he DID INDEEDY have on a swell outfit so much so that I'm now out to try and find my own version of head to toe gingham (I call upon you Christopher Kane S/S 10 collection to be on a 90% off sale NOW!).
Mine wasn't as swell as it was last minute. I've been overwearing this white shirt that I picked up from About Glamour in New York, which has a cut-out décolletage and a handy Miu Miu-esque standalone collar. I bunged the lovely I Heart Norwegian Wood scuba dress over it - I say bunged because it really was a case of "Wow there are no clean clothes left in the case..."
