TARGET FOR MISSONI. I got mine, did you get yours?

   

This week Target launched it's Missoni line.  Missoni's luxury brand is available at Target while supplies last.  I ordered online the 2nd day Missoni became available, and many things were already sold out.  Now I love fashion,  especially prints and texture, but I am not fanitical about my wears.  I heard that people were setting there alarms for 6am, just to ensure they got a coveted Missoni- With this Italian brand being manufactured exclusively for target the price point makes this luxury brand accessible to you and me.  I am not an early bird so no waking up in the A.M.for me, but I did find some great pieces from this limited collection.  

Please let us know what piece of luxury you purchased from this wonderful collection!  

I ordered this Train Case which will house make-up for   when I do photoshoots.

These are the perfect accompany to the Train Case above, so naturally I had to have them too!!

ITALIAN INSPIRATION

Italy, the trip of a lifetime.  Partly because I was celebrating a milestone birthday(30), and partly because I bravely embarked on this journey alone.  Some of my friends/family thought that I was crazy while others thought me fearless.   The reality is i'm just experimental.... I felt it was something I HAD to do.   Now I know your probably thinking EAT, PRAY, LOVE.  Well yes I read the book (saw the movie), and was certainly inspired when I read it.  Maybe that book planted a seed.  All I know is I wanted to see how much faith I had... and what i discovered -I hope will last me my entire life.

Here are a few pictures from each of the Three places I visited.............

ROME

Rome-I stayed near the Colosseum in a area called Monti, at a B&B Il Covo.  Both the area and the hotel was wonderful.  Many Italians spoke English, and a myriad of other languages so there were no problems with communicating at all.  The room, convenient location and great hospitality would work for me anytime. 






AMALFI COAST

Amalfi Coast-Maiori-
Wow..... Lets first talk about the bus ride to get there.  I was white-knuckled from holding on to my seat, which was a shame because I haven't quite seen such splendor in all my life.  The view (through narrowed eyes) was breathtaking.  There is a narrowing two lane road the winds through the hills on oneside, and the plumeting ocean on the other.  Now I've been to places where the driving was enough to scare any normal human being, but this was ridiculous.

Once I was in Maiori there was a seperate trek to my hotel.   Over ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY spiraling steps later I arrived at the B&B Palazzo, which was well worth the journey.













UMBRA-SPOLETO


I absolutely had the most marvelous pair (soon to be trio) of hosts anyone could ask for.  Aminah and Fabio were truly welcoming.  They took me on are tour of their town, provided home cooked (slap- your-mamma-it's-so-good) meals and were more accommodating, and gracious host.  Here is a peek into their world!
